Sexuality is often seen as the most important element in our life, yet many medical professionals do not have sufficient knowledge of sexuality to serve patients with sexual complaints in a professional way.

Besides an attractive scientific program, ESSM 2020 will also introduce innovative methods of content delivery, and facilitate peer-to-peer discussions and networking. For researchers and practitioners alike, in sexual medicine, ESSM 2020 is a congress not to be missed.
