A sample of 807 participants was collected (53.4% women and 46.6% men, 90.1% married and 9.9% cohabitants) from random sources. The SSSS-9, one scale of unfaithful behavior and other one of attitude toward marital exclusivity were applied. The SSSS-9 showed very high internal consistency. The number of factors was one through Horn’s parallel analysis. The one-factor model had a good fit and was valid across both sexes through confir-matory factor analysis. The distribution of SSSS-9 showed positive asymmetry. Its average was higher among men than among women. SSSS-9 had a high correlation with un-faithful behavior, and moderate with attitude toward marital exclusivity. It is concluded that the properties of SSSS-9 are better in this population than those reported with SSSS-11 in other populations. El objetivo del estudio fue validar la Escala de Búsqueda de Sensaciones Sexuales de 9 ítems (SSSS-9) en una población de adultos mexicanos casados o cohabitantes con pareja del sexo opuesto. Se recolectó una muestra de 807 participantes (53.4 % mujeres y 46.6 % hombres; 90.1 % casados y 9.9 % cohabitantes) por rutas aleatorias. Se aplicó la SSSS-9 y las escalas de conducta infiel y actitud hacia la exclusividad marital. La SSSS-9 presentó una consistencia interna muy alta. El número de factores fue uno según el análisis paralelo de Horn. El modelo unifactorial tuvo buen ajuste y resultó válido para ambos sexos por análisis factorial confirmatorio. La distribución de la SSSS-9 mostró asimetría positiva. Su promedio fue mayor en hombres que en mujeres. Tuvo correlación alta con conducta infiel y moderada con actitud hacia la exclusividad marital. Se concluye que las propiedades de SSSS-9 resultan mejores en esta población que las reportadas con SSSS-11 en otras poblaciones. Facultad de Psicología.
