The Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM) is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International Society for Sexual Medicine. Besides the latter society, it is also an official journal for the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health. The editor-in-chief is Irwin Goldstein (University of California, San Diego). The related open access journal, Sexual Medicine, was launched in 2013.

Dr. Irwin Goldstein isn’t squeamish about describing operations on private parts. He remembers, for instance, that he performed his first penile implant on a patient in 1976. “I just did one yesterday,” he added.
Goldstein, 63, director of San Diego Sexual Medicine and director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital, has had a long career providing medical help to those with sexual problems. He has worked on understanding the physiology of the male erection, and has played key roles in the development of drugs for both male and female sexual dysfunction.
During his career, Goldstein has treated many patients for problems that used to be poorly understood and highly stigmatized — though much work remains, both in conducting research and removing shame.
“Helping people, now both men and women, with getting their sexual lives in order, and getting that joy from them — smiling and hugging their partner — there’s nothing like this field,” Goldstein said. “It’s truly the most amazing experience to be involved in all of this.”
International meetings began to take place to discuss such advances. Goldstein and Krane held such a meeting in 1988, calling themselves the International Society for Sexual Medicine. The organization then started a journal, the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Goldstein became editor in 2003, a position he still holds.
You can also buy sex toys and aids at Goldstein’s facility. He compares these tools to hearing aids for people with hearing problems, as they are strategies for “a more meaningful, full experience.”

“My nametag says ‘Irwin Goldstein, physician,’” he said. “It says ‘sexual medicine.’ I am living my dream right now.”
