What is Sexology? Sexology is the branch of medicine that deals with male sexual function and dysfunction. A sexologist is someone who exclusively specializes in the domain of sexual health. These hardy doctors are guys who specifically specialize in treating a wide range of sex related issues that affect both men and women. Much of the early work in the field of sexual medicine began with the pioneering experiments done by Masters and Johnston. A systematic scientific enquiry was conducted by these doctors into the field of sexual medicine as early as the 1800's.
Why sexual health? Today sexual health problems seem to spare no one!. Problems with sexual function seem to affect a large number of patients across age groups. However the severity of different problems of course varies with age. A good example would be Erectile dysfunction. An estimated 40% of men over 40 seem to suffer from severe problems related to their general erection. Moreoever problems with erectile function can frequently compound or cause problems in another partner. For example, in a condition called vaginismus, female patients frequently suffer from severe pain during sexual intercourse. In such scenarios, the male partner will concomitantly be turned off and suffer from erectile dysfunction proximately due to the vaginismus.
