Assessing Motives For Consensual Sex: Development Of The Sexual Motives Questionnaire, Vanessa Tirone
Doctoral Dissertations
The present study describes the development and preliminary validation of the Sexual Motives Questionnaire (SMQ), a measure of motives for consensual sex.

As French filmmakers whose careers began at about the same time, Denis and Ozon have both produced almost a film a year. They continue to make new films.
