RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Sociosexual orientation (SO), muscle performance (MP), and disgust sensitivity (DS) play a crucial role in sexual life. Previous research reported a relationship between SO and muscle strength, but the association across these variables has not been fully investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the association between SO, MP, and DS. METHODS: Seventy-two subjects (age: 49.7±13.7 years, 38 F) participated in the study. The SO, MP and DS were evaluated using a Sexual Attitude Scale (SAS), a revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R), a body composition analysis, handgrip test (HG), a Standing Long Jump Test (SLJ), a Body Odor Disgust Scale (BODS) and Three Domains of Disgust Scale (TDDS). RESULTS: A strong evidence in favor of a positive association between SO and MP (r=0.52, BF
