Abstract
Men's sexual health can be impaired by a variety of sexual disorders, including numerous sexual dysfunctions (primary or due to general medical conditions or their treatment), but also paraphilias and gender identity disorders. These different disorders are often interwoven. This paper offers an overview of the prevalence, symptoms, and etiological factors of major sexual-medical disorders and of the basics of diagnostics and therapy. Special emphasis is given to the couple dimension and the biopsychosocial foundation of human sexuality, which requires an interdisciplinary approach. The paper argues for an improvement of continuing education in sexual medicine for healthcare providers in an effort to satisfy patients' needs for preservation or restoration of sexual health as a major component of quality of life.
