Resumen

Introduction. Sexual behavior attitudes is a mix of cons-tructs still addressed with inconsistent classifications by actual research, showing diverse theoretical structures. For that reason, we aimed to review the literature in the search for common patterns to bring in an exhaustive disambigua-ted proposal. Methods. We carried out a systematic review of sexual attitudes questionnaires and reviews. After that, following thematic analysis principles, we reviewed and cate-gorized codes. Results. Of the 1126 screened publications, 89 scales and 62 reviews were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 28 were eventually included (15 questionnaires and 13 reviews). We classified 144 pieces of valid information into 17 groups based on content. Discussion. We conclude our work as a classification of broadly referenced self-orien-ted cognitive schemata of sexual behavior (SO-CSSB) as a first stage in the process of developing common classifi-cations to overcome the inconsistency in the evaluation of sexual attitudes.
