Welcome Address

It is great pleasure for me, as a new editor in chief, to

welcome you to this August 2017 issue of ESSM today.

I have the difficult task to carry on the work of the previous

editor, Juan Ignacio Martinez-Salamanca, that I would

like to thank on behalf our society for the brilliant work

done. ESSM Today has become under his direction a

very “looked forward” publication, that all of us love and

have learned to enjoy.

The executive committee has now decided to make

ESSM Today freely available also to non-members, in

order to show to a wider public what Sexual Medicine

means nowadays, and how many activities our Society

conducts to improve culture, education, research and

clinical practice in this important scientific field.

ESSM is a modern model of multidisciplinary and multi-

national scientific society. In this issue Maarten Albersen

highlights the most relevant topics addressed in the latest

ESSM annual meeting held in Nice last February, remind-

ing us how wide, rich and complex Sexual Medicine is

today; Mikkel Fode reveals why ESSM has the attitude

to attract so many members and a number of national

affiliated societies; Yacov Reisman describes the main

educational activities of ESSM and the Multidisciplinary

Joint Committee of Sexual Medicine, that strive to set up

new quality standards in the training and clinical practice

of Sexual Medicine in Europe. Thank to these and other

articles in this issue you will have at a glance a colorful

picture of ESSM, and I’m sure you will love it!

Welcome to the ESSM, a landmark for anybody involved

in the field of Sexual Medicine, an entire world to discover

and to join!
