<p>The research was oriented to investigate the correlation between some executive functioning subcomponents, such as inhibitory control, risk-benefit calculation, cognitive flexibility, the ability to plan and decision making; and the general, dyadic and solitary sexual desire, sexual desire inhibition and disposition to sexual fantasies. An observational cross sectional study in a purposive sample of 64 17-to-30-year-old university students who were in a couple relationship at the time of the study and gave their consent for their participation in the research. The participants completed the Neuropsychological Battery of Executive Functions and Frontal Lobes tasks (BANFE for its abbreviation in Spanish): Stroop, card games, card classification and Hanoi Tower, and the Inhibited Sexual Desire Test was administered, the Sexual Desire Inventory (SDI-2) and the Scale of Attitude Towards Sexual Fantasies. The results indicate a correlation between the executive functioning and sexual desire; a correlation between total and dyadic sexual desire and disposition towards sexual fantasies with inhibitory control was found; the inhibited sexual desire was correlated to planning and impulse control.</p>
