Abstract
Ephebiatric sexual medicine is a specialty that still awaits its Vesalius. The age of onset of puberty has decreased by four years in the past two centuries, without a concordant change in social and legal institutions governing sexual and economic autonomy. Concomitant with the reintroduction of the ancient European betrothal system, the adolescent age of first coitus has lowered and averages two years earlier than first contraception. The hiatus is attributed to the moral sanctions against open access to contraception in adolescence. The neglect of sexual learning in teenage allows cases of suicidal and homicidal lovesickness to be undetected and likewise the mental template or "lovemap" of paraphilic pathology in adolescence lacks both preventive measures and treatment. The newest treatment of the paraphilias is with antiandrogen combined with counseling. Positive or negative preparedness for first orgasm or first coitus correlate with positive or negative outcome in subsequent sexuoerotic health. Knowing the sexology of syndromes, for example genetic and endocrine syndromes of childhood, expedites the delivery of sexological health care service in adolescence.
