It is generally assumed that modern sexual medicine was founded by German psychiatrists and dermatologists. Fequently mentioned are, for example, Richard von Krafft-Ebing and Iwan Bloch. History of modern sexual medicine began, indeed, decades earlier so that nowadays we look back over 150 years-not 100 years-of research, praxis, and teaching. AIM; The goal of this report is an acknowledgement of the achievements of the Italian professor of pathology and anthropology, Paolo Mantegazza (1831-1910).
In several European countries, literary historical studies about the history of sexual science and sexual medicine have been conducted for over more than 30 years.
It became evident that Paolo Mantegazza possesses already the whole width of modern sexual-medical activities, from laboratory experiments to cultural-critical and ethnological studies. Curiously enough, his books, translated in many languages, were almost completely forgotten after his death.
Modern sexual medicine originates in the second half of the 19th century, decades before the studies of Albert Moll, Havelock Ellis, Sigmund Freud, Iwan Bloch, or Magnus Hirschfeld. But its present name was coined generally only three or four researcher generations later.
人们普遍认为现代性医学是由德国精神病学家和皮肤科医生创立的。例如，理查德·冯·克拉夫特 - 埃宾和伊万·布洛赫经常被提及。事实上，现代性医学的历史始于数十年前，以至于如今我们回顾的是超过150年而非100年的研究、实践和教学历程。目的：本报告的目的是认可意大利病理学和人类学教授保罗·曼特加扎（1831 - 1910）所取得的成就。
在多个欧洲国家，关于性科学和性医学历史的文献历史研究已经开展了30多年。
显而易见，保罗·曼特加扎已经具备了现代性医学活动的全部范畴，从实验室实验到文化批判和民族学研究。奇怪的是，他的著作被翻译成多种语言，但在他去世后几乎被完全遗忘。
现代性医学起源于19世纪下半叶，比阿尔伯特·莫尔、哈夫洛克·埃利斯、西格蒙德·弗洛伊德、伊万·布洛赫或马格努斯·赫希菲尔德的研究早几十年。但其现今的名称通常是在三四代研究者之后才确定的。
