Abstract
The International Society for Sexual and Impotence Research (ISSIR) was conceived in 1978 at a time when the primary therapeutic options for men with erectile dysfunction were psychological sex therapy, or surgical penile prosthesis implantation and penile revascularization. How the field of sexual medicine has changed over the last 26 years! One historic highlight was the extraordinary introduction of pharmacotherapy for erectile dysfunction in 1983 by Dr. Giles Brindley, who flaunted his drug‐induced erection at the Las Vegas American Urological Association meeting, initiating 15 years of presentations on intracavernosal pharmacotherapy at ISSIR biennial meetings. Then, in 1998, the field changed forever. With the advent of an oral pill available for the safe and effective treatment of erectile dysfunction, an unexpected development occurred: women with sexual dysfunction became empowered and demanded safe and effective medical treatments for their sexual health concerns. From erectile dysfunction and an exclusive focus on men's sexual health concerns, the field and the ISSIR have expanded to include female sexual dysfunctions, evidenced over the last 6 years of ISSIR and regional affiliate society meetings. The Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM) reflects this growth of the field and the society by publishing the highest quality state‐of‐the‐art literature in order to help you understand, learn, improve, teach, research and otherwise stretch your mind concerning the field of sexual medicine.
