July 2012: IASR meeting in Portugal - From June 8 -11, Prof. Haeberle, a member of
the International Academy of Sex Research (IASR), attended its
annual meeting at the Hotel Palacio in
Estoril, Portugal. As usual, the substantial scientific program covered a wide range of topics – various forms
of sexual functions and dysfunctions in both females and males, discussions of
research methodology, gender and transgender issues, sexual behaviors and
attitudes of young people, online sexual materials and their uses, sexual
minority problems, sexual offenses etc. etc.. Not all of this research will be published
in the IASR journal “Archives of Sexual
Behavior”, but will appear in
different scientific journals devoted to other specialties, such as psychology,
sociology, gender studies, and the like. This makes it difficult for outsiders to follow everything in current
sex research, but it once again demonstrates the multi-disciplinary character
of our field. The meeting also provided an opportunity to talk to old friends
and collegues again. Erwin J. Haeberle with some of his colleagues
