Apparently, university servers are automatically preferred by search engines like Bing and Google. Before, when searching for sexology
, my Archive had always been listed first in over 1,5 million citations; now it was moved all the way down and could hardly be found at all. Its content could not possibly be the reason for this, because, to this day, it has no competition in either quality or quantity. It is still by far the largest and the best in our field. Nevertheless, the search engines are now listing hundreds of sites ahead of my Archive that offer only a tiny fraction of our content. Some of them are also clearly frivolous. (The Chinese search engine Baidu is still listing my Archive near the top for searches in Chinese, but for searches in English it uses the content of Google.) Quite obviously then, the Western search engines do not serve the interests of their users, and it is unclear to me whose interests they actually serve. Therefore, for me and my still faithful readers, the present search algorithms remain a riddle, wrapped up in a mystery, inside an enigma
. Under the circumstances, I cannot say at this time, what will eventually become of my electronic offer.
In the meantime, thanks to some donors, I have been able to start a new website The Sexology Expert
(see above), and I have opened a Facebook and a Twitter account.
If you consider my freely accessible work useful, please, help in maintaining it and making it better known! You can use the button below for a donation - large or small - by PayPal.

2. Looking back at 23 years
This spring marks the 23rd year of the Archive for
Sexology, which I founded in 1994 in Berlin as a sub-unit of the
Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
It was located first in Berlin Spandau and then in Berlin Mitte on the campus of the Charité.
After my retirement from government service in 2001, it was housed
in a large office building of
Humboldt University in
Berlin-Pankow. In 2004, I donated the printed part of my Archive
(i.e. my books, journals, and collections) to the university’s
central library, where it is now open to researchers as the “Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archive”.
Starting in 2006, I took my self-financed online Archive to my
private apartment in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, where I worked on it until
2013, when I moved it to my present residence in Freiburg Br. Today
I am running it on a server of my own.
This is where matters stand at this time. I know that
the two Chinese versions of my “open access” online courses (MOOCs)
are being used for the training of sex educators in the VR China,
Hong Kong, and Taiwan, but I am unaware of their use in other
countries of Asia, North and South America or Europe. It is,
however, entirely possible that all sorts of people anywhere in the
world use them without telling me about it. Be that as it may, I
have recently been pleasantly surprised when foreign colleagues
contacted me and offered new translations of my courses into Polish,
French, and Arabic. I takes this as an indication that my offer is
still filling a gap left by my esteemed colleagues.
Needless
to say, at this time I
am unable to predict if or when these translations will actually
materialize. In any case, one of my translators into Russian has now
posted an illuminating, very detailed
e-book
(in German) about the intellectual challenges posed by the
translation of my course on “Sexual
Dysfunctions and their Treatment” from the
English original into
Russian.
Her book is available
here.
When I started to write my online sexual
health curriculum 14 years ago, my programmer used the latest
technology and already then designed it in such a way that it can be
studied not only on PCs, but also on tablets and smart phones (not
yet widely available at the time). However, in the meantime, various
kinds of new software have been developed that would greatly improve
the appearance and usability of the individual courses.
Unfortunately, I do not have the money
necessary for such
an improvement. All my attempts to obtain financial support from
foundations and other sources have proved futile, since my work is a
“one-man show”, not backed by a university or another large
institution or organization. My Archive is neither a business (no
income, only costs), nor does it enjoy non-profit status. It is, in
fact, something “in between”, for which there is no official
category. (For example, it does not meet the criteria for
PayPal
membership.) As a private individual running a private site, I
simply cannot get a hearing anywhere. My applications are summarily
dismissed before they can reach a living person, who could evaluate
them and make a decision. The idea that a single individual runs, at
his own expense, a large, free scientific web site in 15 languages
is simply inconceivable to “regular” sponsors.
I mention this here, because I believe
that my case is by no means unique and points to a larger issue:
Given
the enormous weight, indeed dominance, of even backward “regular”
institutions, the deck is stacked against “irregular“ individual
innovators. Since they move outside traditional circles and do not
follow accepted patterns, they inevitably “fall through the cracks”.
A good illustration of this is provided by the Google search
algorithms: When I moved my Archive from the Humboldt University
server to the present private server of my own, I immediately lost
95% of my readers. Before, when searching for “sexology”, my Archive
had always held first place in a list of over
1,5
million. Now it is so far down the list of over 2 million that it
can hardly be found at all. Before, it registered over 3 million
hits and more than 130 000 visits per month. Now both of these
numbers are so small as to be insignificant, and this in spite of
the fact that the Archive has continued to grow and is offering its
information in even more languages.
I realize that the sidelining and neglect
of innovative private initiatives is an “old” problem, which has
been around for centuries. Still, it seems to me that the present
electronic revolution is reinforcing
the old tendency toward uniformity.
This may appear paradoxical to some of my readers, since the
internet originally seemed to have promised
greater
freedom
and variety. However, in many respects the opposite has happened:
The collection of “Big Data” has concentrated money and power in the
hands of a few giant private companies, and thus commercial
interests are beginning to dominate the world of information,
including scientific information. In sum: My online Archive has been
relegated to the informational fringes and therefore no longer
attracts sufficient attention from potential supporters. This, in
turn, has limited my options:
Because
of financial constraints, I have not been able to offer a complete
update of my entire web site. Thus, a few sections of my Archive
have remained unchanged and are now out-of-date. I very much regret
this, but under the circumstances cannot help it.
As for the future of my own contribution
and of sexology in general, I have sketched some tentative thoughts
in my new online book
“Sexology…”
listed
above. As I describe it there, my own accidental career has profited
from two mass movements for greater openness and tolerance, both of
which I experienced on location
–
the “hippie revolt” of 1967 in San Francisco and the opening of “the
Wall” 1989 in Berlin. These movements had far-reaching
socio-political consequences that allowed me to pursue my academic
interests and thus to enjoy an unusually happy professional and
personal life. I am afraid, however, that the future will be less
welcoming to the cause to which I am still committed.
I consider myself very lucky, because it
entered the field at a propitious time. However, I feel that this
time is now coming to an end. On the whole, I am not optimistic. It
is obvious, for example, that we have entered the “brave new world”
of total surveillance, in which private data collectors are
gathering the most intimate details of our lives. They use them
establish our evermore perfect personal profiles, which they then
sell to other companies for enormous amounts of money. Every
increase of their power diminishes that of our own. I very much
doubt, therefore, that objective scientific sex research will have
much of a future. Indeed, I fear that it will increasingly be
replaced by instant “push-button” analyses, conducted by the “Big
Data” owners and
serving
mostly commercial interests. And there are, of course, also criminal
hackers and open or secret government agencies pursuing their own
agendas. But that is another story, which requires an extensive
discussion not appropriate here.
In any case, if my whole electronic
Archive, for whatever reason, should go offline one day, there will
still be enough of it left for truly interested readers:
Just
in case, I have had many of my English and German articles and
reminiscences printed and bound as books for the HH Archive at the
central library of Humboldt University in Berlin. In addition, I
have also put the present content of my web site on a single DVD,
which will be accessible there.
In the meantime, however, I
am very grateful to those who still support me with their donations,
and who encourage me to continue my Archive work as long as I can. I
do hope that I will still be around to comment on its 25th
anniversary.

and obtain a certificate from AASES (Asociación Argentina de Sexualidad y Educación Sexual)
3. Interviews
1. On February 17, 2015, Prof. Haeberle gave a radio interview in English on Deutsche Welle, the German broadcasting station for foreign countries.
The interview covered the current book/film bestseller “50 Shades of Grey” and the sexological view of sadomasochism.
2. Also in February, Prof. Haeberle gave an interview for the internet blog
Notches
about his two Archives and the history of sexology. It appeared there on March 19, 2015.
4. Award
On the occasion of the first International Anatolian Congress on Neuroscience and
Sexual Health (May 1-3, in Istanbul), Prof. Haeberle was awarded the International
Dionysus Award for Sexology by the Turkisch society ASEHERT (Association of Sexual Health Education, Research & Treatment)
in recognition of his life’s work.
5. Looking back at 22 years
I founded my combined print and electronic Archive for Sexology in early 1994 at the federal Robert Koch Institute in Berlin.
After my retirement from government service in 2001, I continued my work at Humboldt University, which, in 2004,
accepted the donation of my print Archive, i.e my library and collections. It is now and will remain accessible to researchers
as the university’s central library as the “Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv”.
My “open access” online Archive - privately financed by myself - ran on the server of Humboldt University from 2001-2014,
when I was asked to move it to a private server of my own. Unfortunately, by January 2015, I was no longer able to pay the
monthly salary for my full-time programmer. Therefore, I was forced to “freeze” my Archive, i.e. to put it in a “standing still” mode,
meaning that the usual monthly additions, corrections, and updates were no longer possible.
I owe the present update - the first since December 2014 – to several generous donations by supporters in the USA.
As for the future of this online Archive itself, I cannot make a definite statement at this time. So far, I have not received any offers from qualified potential hosts willing and capable of taking it over after me. I have just turned 80, and it seems that, sooner or later, others will have to continue and enlarge my web site.
I am now relying on donations for the continuation of this project. It is good to know that there are generous people “out there”, who appreciate my work and want to see it continued. However, the donations are not sufficient for a resumption of the former pace. Nevertheless, thanks to this financial support, I have been able to hire occasional programming help for certain “silent” updates and corrections. In the meantime, any financial support will continue to be very welcome:

in Portuguese: "O Comportamento Sexual Humano". Together with the five courses already translated, we now have our
complete curriculum on sexual health available in Portuguese. As a result,
we can now offer this curriculum in 7 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese,
Chinese (2x), Russian, Czech, and Hungarian.
3. Appointment to Advisory Board
- In December, Prof. Haeberle was appointed to the scientific advisory board of the Institute for Theriology and Anthropology in Frankfurt/M.

Looking back at 2014
1. Reviewing our monthly
Archive News of 2014, we can proudly point to regular significant additions to
our online libraries in several languages (books, journals, papers, and a
review). As a result, and taken together, our English, German, Spanish (1
and 2), and
Hungarian libraries now represent the world’s largest resource of
freely accessible scientific literature in the area of sexual health.
2. During two visits to Berlin (spring and autumn), we were able to donate
additional printed materials to the Haeberle-Hirschfeld
Archive.
3. Over the course of the year, we also added three new members to our Advisory
Board: Dr. Olga Marega (Argentina), Dr. Ruben Hernandez
(Venezuela) and Dr. Umit Sayin (Turkey).
4. In March, our Archive celebrated its 20th anniversary – a unique
achievement, which owes its success in no small part to the substantial
contributions made by colleagues from many countries around the globe. All of
them deserve our heartfelt thanks.
5. In April I added a special direct link for donations and did, in fact,
receive some valuable financial support that way. However, for the most part I
still had to pay for it out of my own pocket. Unfortunately, I will not be able to do so much longer. I can
only hope that, within the very near future, we will see a significant increase
in donations or find some other way of generating income. EJH

Archive belongs.
On this occasion, they also donated additional books and papers. For a photo,

March 2014:
Anniversary: 20 years Archive
for Sexology
- In March 1994, Prof. Haeberle founded the Archive
for Sexology as a subunit of the Robert
Koch Institute, a federal research institute in Berlin, using his own books and papers as the material base.
After his retirement from government service in 2001, he moved the Archive to Humboldt University and, in 2004,
donated his library and collections to the university’s main library, where
they are available to researchers in the Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv.However, this electronic part of the Archive has
remained in the possession of its founder, who is still running it as a private
project and also finances it with his own money. It is freely accessible and
has readers all over the world. Indeed, it is a model of international
cooperation. With the help of enthusiastic colleagues in many countries, it is
constantly being expanded and now offers scientific sexual health information
in 15 languages. Especially important are its large online libraries in 5
languages and its curriculum of 6 “open access” courses in 6 languages. Additional translations are being
prepared.
Considering
the enormous difficulties this Archive has had to overcome over the years - and
is still encountering today - this anniversary is a cause for celebration.

five courses already translated, we have now our complete curriculum on
sexual health available in Spanish.
3. Newspaper
Interview
- On December 2, the Russian business weekly Эксперт ("Expert") published an interview with
Prof. Haeberle, in which he discusses
the economic implications of "open access" for academic teaching and learning. After
giving a brief survey of the accelerating electronic revolution in the last few
years, he describes probable future trends. He comes to the conclusion that the
global character of the internet will greatly alter the academic landscape all
over the world, with clear winners and losers. He predicts that some American
universities will play an ever more dominant role and reap the greatest
benefits, while their competitors in most other countries will fall behind, not
only in financial terms, but also in overall global importance.
4. Blog
- On December 9, Prof. Haeberle republished his memo "MOOCs and Consequences" in a blog
at eLearning Industry.
5. Donations
- In recent years, and especially in the last 12
months, our Archive has grown to such an enormous size, that we are no longer
able to pay for it all by ourselves. We have therefore installed a "donation
button", i.e. a little box on our web site, which, when clicked on, leads potential
donors to our new account for donations per money transfer.
6. Looking
back at 2013
- As can be gathered from our monthly Archive News of 2013, we have had an
"interesting" year. By moving from the server of Humboldt University to a private
server of our own in June, we lost more than 90% of our online visitors. Nevertheless, our 23 videos
on YouTube were
not affected by the move. They have, in the meantime, registered
560 subscribers and over 338 000 views. At the same time, we were able to expand our
Archive in significant ways and to continue our various activities (see also
above):
1. Our free
Online Library
Once again, we have obtained permissions to include several important books and
papers by Calimach, Dynes (2), Diamond
(8), Green, Haeberle (2), Herzer (3), Lundberg, Potenziani Bigelli (3), Seuntjens, Szilágyi, and the WHO, as
well a several volumes of the Spanish journal Anuario de Sexología, edited by the Asociación Estatal de Profesionales de la Sexología (AEPS).
2. Our online visitors
The greatly reduced number of our online visitors are still coming from the
same countries as before: After the US and Germany, most are from China, the
Philippines, India, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, and Venezuela. This confirms our
determination to concentrate on bringing free sexual health information to the developing
countries and the newly emerging global players in Asia and Latin America.
3. The
Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv
The Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv
of printed literature belongs to the central library of Humboldt-University
in Berlin and is not connected to our private online Archive for Sexology.
Nevertheless, we retain an active interest in its development and encourage
potential donors to support it. Last year, it received substantial donations of
books, journals, and other print materials from Zhang Jie (Beijing), Rolf and
Wolfgang Gindorf (Düsseldorf), Barbara Schwepcke (London), and John R.
Sylla and Ian Lawrence from the Institute
of Bisexuality, Los Angeles, CA.
4. Personal activities
Prof. Haeberle also donated
books, journals, and other material to the Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv.
In addition, he published an article about its history and future in the German
medical journal Sexuologie. Furthermore,
he gave several radio and newspaper interviews, met with foreign visitors, was
invited as a speaker to the Helsinki Book Fair, and received an honorary
doctorate in South Africa.

from the EU Commission, but no money
- On
October 18, Prof. Haeberle received a letter from the European
Commission, Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content
and Technology. The letter recommends our Archive as "very
noteworthy" and expresses the hope that "it remains accessible
as a resource for future generations." However, it also points
out "that current financial regulations do not allow the European
Commission to fund specific MOOCs no matter how interesting they
may be." For a view of the letter, click here.

from Manila
- On
September 11, Prof. Haeberle was visited by the Philippine film
and televison director Joyce Bernal and her assistant director Irene
Emma Villamor, who had been filming in the Netherlands. They discussed
the increasingly frank airing of sexual problems in Filipino TV
dramas and "reality shows". Some of these productions can also be
freely accessed in the US and Europe. (Our own Archive has many
readers in the Philippines.) The discussion led to an exchange of
ideas about "open access" in general and its implications for theatrical
films. For a photo, click here.

4. Paper
published in "Sexuologie"
- On May 6th, 2013, a
conference was held in Berlin, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Nazi plundering
and closing of Hirschfeld’s Institute for
Sexology (1919-1933). For a photo, click here.
At this conference, a number of prominent speakers presented papers, which have
now been published in the journal "Sexuologie" (vol. 20, no.1-2, 2013). Among
the authors are Julia Heiman, Lelsey A. Hall, Andreas Krass, Volkmar Sigusch,
Rainer Herrn, Ralf Dose, Hermann Simon, and Klaus M. Beier. Prof. Haeberle
contributed an essay "Das
Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv: Vergangenheit, Gegenwart, Zukunft" (pp.
51-54). The essay describes two complementary archives the
author had founded in Berlin - one consisting of printed material, the other electronic.
In combination, these two archives de
facto already amounted to a rebirth of Hirschfeld’s institute in modern
form. Indeed, every single month the online archive alone had more visitors
from more countries than the original had known in all 14 years of its
existence. However, the university never found any use for its new, globally popular successor. Thus, only the print archive now
remains in Berlin. Here is the abstract of the essay in English:Abstract:
100 years ago
(1913), the first sexological societies were founded in Berlin. 80 years ago
(1933), Magnus Hirschfeld’s
Institute for Sexology was plundered and closed by the Nazis. Today, there are
two archives in Berlin bearing Hirschfeld’s name, both founded by the author: A print version,
the Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv, now owned by Humboldt University, and
the author’s privately run electronic Magnus Hirschfeld Archive for Sexology in
15 languages. Unfortunately, Humboldt University has shown no interest in
acquiring the latter and thereby creating a new Hirschfeld-Institut in Berlin.

2. Meeting with BIJOU editor
- On July 27, Prof. Haeberle had a meeting in Heidelberg with an editor of BIJOU, the journal of the German Bisexual Network.
The editor donated a number of the latest issues and agreed to send the rest as
well as all future issues to the Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archive.
June 2013:
Welcome
to our new server!
As announced
in our previous Archive News (May ’13), we have moved to a server of our own.
You are now looking at our Archive for
Sexology at its new internet address.
The Archive is
still being run and paid for by Prof.
Erwin J. Haeberle, who has also designed our new logo. Our staff of two -
webmaster and administrator Thomas Haase
and research assistant Gene G. Bernal are continuing their
work as well.
Thus, our Archive
will continue to serve its users just as before. Indeed,
we will continue to expand. Thus, we are hoping to reach
ever more readers in ever more countries, fulfilling
our mission of providing freely accessible scientific
information world-wide in order "to promote, protect,
and preserve sexual health".

2. Radio Interview
- On June 23, Deutschlandradio
Kultur - Fazit broadcasted a radio interview with Prof. Haeberle. The occasion was a
public event at the National Theater in Weimar, the very place where the
"Weimar Republic" was founded. The new event was the first governmental commemoration
of homosexual victims of persecution in Nazi Germany, a percecution that had continued
after WW II. It was only in 1994, that the Federal Republic of Germany
abolished the infamous § 175 that had criminalized sexual contact between men. Haeberle
welcomed the commemoration as an expression of true conservatism on the part of
Christine Lieberknecht (CDU), Minister-President
of Thuringia. By organizing the event, she had reemphasized the important traditional
values of respecting human dignity and of ensuring equal rights for all
citizens.
May 2013:
Important
Notice
The Archive for Sexology, founded, owned,
and financed by Prof. Erwin J. Haeberle,
has been running on the server of
Humboldt University, Berlin, for the last 12 years.
Since, during
this period, the university has not been able to find any use for it, we have
now decided to find another host. The respective negotiations have been going
on for
some time, but have not yet been concluded.
In order to
clarify the situation and to keep our options open, we will, starting
on July 1, 2013, run our Archive on a private server of our own.
Our new, temporary internet address will be:
Archive for Sexology: sexarchive.info |

- For the start of the New
Year, Prof. Haeberle was visited by a well-wisher from Leipzig, Rosa von Zehnle, operator of
the Rosa-Archiv.
The visit proved to be very fruitful. They talked extensively about the future
of the archive in Leipzig and that of similar archives and collections
elsewhere. In addition, they discussed current and future publications,
including the new edition of Hirschfeld’s Yearbook of Intermediate Sexual
Stages (Jahrbuch für sexuelle
Zwischenstufen). For a photo, click here.

3. Looking back at 2012
- Looking back again
over the last 12 months, we find that we were more than able to maintain our
momentum: In 2012 our Archive once again registered well over 105 million hits,
over 6.5 million page views, and well over
4 million visits from over 200 countries. We find this especially
gratifying, because for much of October serious technical server problems led
to a complete shut-down of our site. It was not before mid-November that our
statistics began to function properly again. Now as before, most of our readers
live in Latin America and Asia. Among the "top ten" of the accessing countries
are still the fast rising countries China, Mexico, Brazil, and India. New in
this group are the Philippines. This reconfirms our impression that we are
meeting an enormous demand in these regions of the world, where a fast-growing
middle-class is searching for scientifc information in all academic fields. Our
videos on YouTube have, in the meantime, registered a total of over
188 000 views. The over 200
subscribers to our Videos come from all over the world - the
USA, China, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Pakistan,
Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Turkey, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the
Philippines, Vietnam, the UK and several other European countries.

in the work of Magnus Hirschfeld and, for this reason, she
has been
using the resources of the Haeberle-Hirschfeld-Archiv.
They talked at length about German sexology in particular
and generally
about the future implications of the electronic revolution
for teaching
and research. For a photo, click here. 3. New video for YouTube

Archive for Sexology under the title
"A Multilingual Open Access Curriculum in
Sexual Health". The abstract of this and all other congress presentations
can be found in the 11th
EFS Congress Book of
Abstracts (see above). The congress also provided an opportunity to introduce the latest Portuguese
translation of our online courses (see below). Finally, it was another welcome chance to meet friends and colleagues
from various countries for private discussions of current developments in
sexology. For photos, click here.
3. A fourth course in Portuguese translation

electronic publishing. For a photo, click here.
- On September 25, Prof. Haeberle was also visited by Dr. Bruce Rind and his assistant Max
Welter, B.A., both from Leipzig. They had an extensive three-way
discussion about the implications of the electronic revolution for the future
of teaching and learning. In this context, they especially talked about the
possible uses and misuses of statistics.

Ngrams
- A new service by Google allows readers to follow the rise and fall of concepts
across 5 million books and 500 years.
When you enter one or several phrases into the Google Books Ngram Viewer,
it displays a graph showing how those phrases have occurred in a corpus of
books (e.g., "American English", "British English", "English
Fiction", "German", "Spanish" etc.) over the selected years. You
can refine your search by clicking on various shorter periods listed
below the graph. Within these shorter periods, you will get lists
of the actual works examined. Of
course, one has to understand the limitations of this unique offer, and one has
to be careful in interpreting the graphs. Nevertheless, they can be of some help
to those who are interested in the historical dimensions of scientific topics. For
the purpose of illustration, we are providing a few samples in English to go

Mitsuo Kubota (Global Communications) from Doshisha
University, Kyoto. Both were very interested in the rationale, working
method, and world-wide acceptance of our Archive and especially in our "open
access" online curriculum. As they reported, more and more Japanese
universities are beginning to offer courses not only in Japanese, but also in
English in order to attract foreign students. For photos, click here.

2. 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. For photos, click here.
3. Newspaper
Interview
- On July 27, the German
newspaper DIE WELT,
on p. 8 under "Politics", published a full-page interview with Prof. Haeberle, in which he
discusses his work. After describing the beginnings of his career as a
sexologist, he explains his motivation
in founding his multi-lingual Archive
for Sexology and its present role in
providing sexual health information world-wide, especially in developing
countries.

marriage (i.e. against California's Proposition 8, which prohibits
such marriages).

event. The first finalized actual sales copies will become available in the next
frew months.
4. Looking back at 2011
- Looking
back over the last 12 months, we see that our Archive has
continued on its path of progress. In particular, thanks to our colleagues in
various countries, we have again added important books, journal articles and
reviews to our free online library - already the world’s largest in our field, Naturally,
we want to continue this steady expansion in the future.
At the same time, our online courses in sexual health are also finding more and
more users on all continents. Meeting this growing need, we have been able to
add new translations in Russian and Farsi, and more translations are being
prepared. The entire curriculum is now officially being taught in Finland, South
Africa, and China, where 15 universities are now using them to train ca. 5000
sex educators per year. The courses are also being used in the Czech Republic, Pakistan,
India, Portugal, and Mozambique. In short: They are becoming increasingly
popular all around the globe. In part, this is also due to the fact that the
design of our courses turns out to be exceptionally well suited to picture cell
phones and tablet computers (pads) – tools increasingly being used by students
everywhere.
Our visitors’ statistics tell the story: In 2011 our site registered over 100 million hits and over 4
million visits from over 200 countries.
In addition, our 16 videos on YouTube have, in the meantime, registered
a total of well over 80 000 views,
Now as before, most of our readers live in Latin America and Asia. This
confirms our impression that we are meeting an enormous demand in these regions
of the world.

3. Looking
back at 2010
- Looking back over the last 12 months, we
see that our Archive has had another very successful year. Our offer of free
sexual health information has greatly expanded and with it our global reach. In 2010 alone our site registered over 93 million hits and over 3 million visits
from over 200 countries. The top ten
of these countries were Germany, the United
States, Mexico, Hungary, India, Brazil, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, and
China. Thus, our Archive can truly claim that our readership
spans the globe, and that "the sun never sets in our electronic empire". We are
particularly pleased that our offer is increasingly being accepted and
appreciated in India, China, and Brazil - the newly emerging great
players on the world stage. We also have a fast growing number of readers in
many other Latin American countries, and this in spite of the fact, that our
Spanish translations are still incomplete. We therefore hope that, by the end
of the coming year, we will be able to offer our entire online curriculum in sexual health in
Spanish as well.

3. Interview
about our Archive
- The June edition of the German gay magazine Siegessäule published an interview with
Prof. Haeberle in which he
emphasized the free accessibility and global reach of our multilingual Archive ("In Hirschfelds Sinne", p.19). He also
stressed its role in educating the public in many different countries about
gender and transgender issues.
May 2010:
1. EFS
congress in Portugal
-
From
May 9-13, Prof. Haeberle attended the 10th Congress of the European
Federation of Sexology (EFS) in
Porto, Portugal, where he offered a presentation on our open access curriculum in sexual health. (For a German
version, click here.) The congress also gave him the opportunity to meet
colleagues from different countries who collaborate in various ways with our
Archive. For photos, click here.2. Archeological
consultation
- In
the month of May, Prof. Haeberle was consulted by the archeologists
Bertram Faensen and Dr. Heike Kennecke who are digging up the
foundations of old historical homes in front of Berlin’s City Hall. At the site of one of
these homes they found a Chinese erotic object dating back at least to the 18th
century AD. How it found its way to Berlin more than 200 years ago is unclear. A
comparison with similar objects from Prof. Haberle’s private collection suggested
a similar purpose – as bridal gifts, they served to illustrate the couple’s marital
duties. However, it is also possible that the especially delicate object found
in Berlin served as a kind of conversation piece and was simply appreciated for
its beauty. The research is continuing at this time. For photos, click here.3. The latest additions to our online libraries (English, German, Spanish 1/2, Hungarian,

April 2010:
1. A
major addition to our online libraries (English, German, Spanish 1/2, Hungarian,
French)
-
After many months of difficult programming work, we are now able to add a very
important title to our online library. It is an exceptionally large annotated
bibliography that has no parallel in the literature of sexual orientation. For
anyone seriously interested in this very complex, often controversial and
sometimes confusing subject, it is indeed a guide in the best sense of the
word. (The author also edited the Encyclopedia of Homosexuality.) Originally
published in print more than 20 years ago, the research guide has,
unfortunately, not been continued or updated since then. Nevertheless, it still
provides a solid basis for research into practically all aspects of
homosexuality. We hope that our online publication will stimulate such
research. After all, the HTML format in which we present this - as well all our
other texts - makes it much easier to use than the original printed version or
a PDF document. Here it is: Book:

2. Exhibition at Humboldt University
- This month, March 2010, the university’s main
building (Unter den Linden 6) showed an exhibition of works by the portraitist
Emil Stumpp (1886-1941): 25 lithographs depitcting famous personalities in
Berlin in the early 20th century (Albert Einstein, Fritz Haber, Werner Sombart,
Alfred Grotjahn, Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, and others). Among them is a portrait of Magnus Hirschfeld, accompanied by a photo from the university’s Haeberle-Hirschfeld Archive. In return,
the Archive has received a copy of the lithograph. Stumpp was a well-recognized
artist of his time. An opponent of the Nazi regime, he was no longer allowed to
work after 1933. In 1940 he was arrested and died in a Nazi prison. (For photo

3. A visitor from Israel
- On March 11, Prof.
Haeberle was visited by Adin Theilhaber-Talbar,
the son of Felix Theilhaber.
They discussed the legacy of his father in both Germany and Israel. In
addition, they were very pleased to note the recent rebirth of sexology in
Berlin and to speculate about its future prospects. (For photo click here.)

March 2009:
1. Our Archive
celebrates its 15th anniversary
- Fifteen
years ago, in March 1994, Prof. Haeberle founded the Archive for
Sexology as a subunit of the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, using his own
books and papers as the material base. After his retirement from government
service in 2001, he moved the Archive to Humboldt University and, in 2004,
donated his library and collections to the HU main library. Starting this
summer, all these printed materials will become available as the Haeberle-Hirschfeld
Archive at the new, centrally located Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Center.
Prof. Haeberle has retained and greatly expanded the electronic part of his
Archive under the name of Magnus Hirschfeld Archive for Sexology,
financing it with his private funds. It offers sexological information in 11 languages. In both of its separate forms -
printed and electronic - the Archive has now been in existence for 15 years -
one year longer than Hirschfeld's original Institute for Sexology (1919-1933).
Moreover, every month our Archive web site now registers over 6 million hits
and over 200 000 unique visitors from over 200 countries. Thus, in the currrent
anniversary month alone it has more users than Hirschfeld's Institute had in
all the 14 years of its existence.
2. Our first course now in Farsi translation
-
Our free online
course "Basic Human Sexual Anatomy and Physiology" is now also
available in Farsi (Persian). It was translated by the editors of
an Iranian journal for a special edition entirely devoted to our course: Jenseyat
va Jameh (Sexuality and
Society, No. 4, March 2009). As a result, we are able to offer this
latest version of our course on our web
site as a PDF document. This means that our Archive is now providing
sexual health information in a total of 11 languages.

October 2008:
1. A milestone: Our web site now in 10 languages
- We have just made the Turkish edition of Prof. Haeberle’s textbook freely accessible on our web site: "Cinsel
Atlas" (already available are the English original "The Sex Atlas" and the German
edition "Die Sexualität des Menschen").
Thus, we now offer sexual health information in a total of 10 languages: English,
Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, Czech, Chinese, and
Turkish. However, in view of the growing demand for our unique "open access"
curriculum in sexual health, we want to do more. Indeed, we are now looking
forward to more translations of our courses into still other languages and to
the completion of those translations that remain incomplete at this time.
Special thanks are due to the idealistic colleagues in their various home
countries who, in some cases together with their students and staff, have
provided and continue to provide the translations.Their work is greatly
appreciated by our millions of readers all over the world.

Archive with many direct links to its content.
December 2007:
1. Endorsement
of our web site
- Our
web site has now been endorsed by the Family Planning Association
of Hong Kong: "The Archive for Sexology covers information
that anyone might ever need about human sexuality, from the history
of sexology, basic sexual anatomy and physiology to human reproduction,
sexual dysfunctions, sexual orientation and the problems of sexual
conformity and sexual deviance. It is one of the most comprehensive
collections of reference materials on sex, and allows for the online
training of sex educators anywhere in the world. We highly recommend
the website to all who want to advance in the field of sexology."
October/November 2007:
1. Visit
to China
(For an illustrated version of this report,
click here.)
- At the invitation of some Chinese
colleagues, Prof. Haeberle and his research assistant Gene
G. Bernal visited China from October 20 - November
30. They first stayed at the China Sex Museum in Tongli, where
they worked on several common projects with the directors Prof. Liu Dalin
and Dr. Hu Hongxia. At
the museum, Prof. Haeberle also met with Prof. Peng Xiaohui from Wuhan, the translator of our web site into Chinese.
In addition, Prof. Haeberle lectured in two larger
cities - at a men’s hospital in Wuxi and at a women’s hospital
at Wujiang, using the Chinese version of his online courses.
- On November 11, Prof. Haeberle was the
keynote speaker at a women’s health conference at Shu-Te University in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Following this conference, he gave a
series of graduate seminars in the university’s sexology program in
cooperation with our advisory board member Prof.
Ruan Fang-fu. For this, a new version of our web site in traditional
Chinese script proved very useful.
- Following his stay in Taiwan, Prof. Haeberle visited the Family Institute of the University of
Hong Kong, where he presented some workshops in cooparation with our
advisory board member Prof. M.L. Ng.
Here again, the new Chinese version of our courses in traditional Chinese
script was used (see below).
2. Second Chinese version of our web site
- During the month of November, a second
Chinese version of our web site was made available by our colleague Prof. Peng Xiaohui at Huazhong Normal University in Wuhan. In contrast to the first version, which
uses the simplified script of mainland China, this new version uses traditional
Chinese script which can be read in Hong Kong and Taiwan and by most overseas Chinese. It can be
found on our home page by clicking on the flag of Hong Kong.
3. Another endorsement of
our online courses
- Our sexual health curriculum has now also been endorsed by the Wujiang Family Planning Association in Wujiang, China: "We find Prof.
Haeberle’s online courses on sexual health very useful, especially for the
training of health workers. However, they are also very informative for the
general public. We therefore wholeheartedly recommend these courses to anyone
interested in questions of human sexuality."

1. Directory of sexological training programs
- Since many of our readers are interested in obtaining certificates,
diplomas or academic degrees in sexology, we have begun to create a separate world-wide
Directory of Sexological Training Programs.
Such programs have long been listed on various web sites, but some of these are
now out of date. At this initial stage, our own new directory therefore includes
only programs that could be confirmed as being active. At the same time, we are
trying to contact all other possible candidates for inclusion and always
welcome updates, additions, and corrections. They should be sent by e-mail to haeberlee@web.de.
2. New member of our Advisory Board
- Our scientific advisory board has been joined by
Dr. Barbara Schwepcke, founder
and owner of Haus Publishing,
London, who has long been a supporter of our work. Her experience as an
international journalist and her success as a publisher in the UK
will help us in the development of various future projects.
3. Publication
- The introduction to our "open access" curriculum in sexual
health has now been republished on the web site of e-learningeuropa, a portal established by
the European Commission to promote the use of multimedia technologies and internet

Archive for Sexology – The World’s Largest E-learning Project".
June 2007:
1. Another endorsement of our online courses
- Our sexual health curriculum has now also been
endorsed by the Czech Sexological Society. Its president, Prof. Jaroslav Zvěřina, writes: "For members of the Czech Sexological Society
your web site has been a very important source of information for years… This

We are very glad that the Czech persons concerned will now have the opportunity
to obtain the latest information about human sexuality from your very
interesting programme."
2. New member of our Advisory Board

Prof. Fang-fu Ruan, who has

May 2007:
1. More endorsements of our online courses
- We have just learned that,
even before the completion of our curriculum, our free online courses had been
reviewed in the British journal Sexual
and Relationship Therapy (Vol. 21, No. 3, August 2006). In the words of the
first reviewer, Dr. Michel Perring
of Optimal Health: "The Internet
E-Learning curriculum in sexual health from the Archive for Sexology … is
written thoughtfully, it is concise and easy to read. …A debt of gratitude is
owed to Professor Haeberle… (His) energy and sense of purpose has achieved much
of continuing benefit to the field of sexology." The second reviewer, Prof. Lin S. Myers of the California
State University, Stanislaus, had added: "This is an excellent
and unique resource…I highly recommend these E-courses for any adult who would
like to to learn more about sexuality and sexual health."
- In addition, our curriculum
is now being recommended by the American feminist New
View Campaign as "an excellent series of free online sex ed courses".
- Our curriculum has now also been endorsed by
the Bulgarian
National Center of Public Health Protection,
an agency of the Bulgarian Ministry of Health. Its official announcement states,
among other things: "We
would like to underline that the contents of both the courses and the Web Site
of the Archive are very useful and…a tool for academic and therapeutic
activities and for scientific research… We are highly recommending to all
governmental institutions and relevant NGOs in the filed of human sexuality
around the world to use the Curriculum in Human Sexology.
Finally we would like to thank Prof.
Haeberle for his enormous engagement in the supervision and the support of the
professionals working in the field of sexology in Bulgaria."
- Another, very important message
of support has been received from a large international organization: Prof. Antonio
Pacheco Palha, in his capacity as its president, has informed us that our online courses have now
been officially endorsed by the European Federation of Sexology
(EFS). The EFS has 40 national member societies - in Belgium, Bulgaria,
the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom.
