The first steps toward an academic sexual medicine were made half a century ago in the Federal Republic of Germany. After the so-called sexual revolution, the first approaches to an academicization of the field of sexual science were located in Hamburg and Frankfurt, where independent institutes and chairs were set up. Through empirical studies, the ignorance of physicians and medical students in sexuality-related topics could be demonstrated and subsequently addressed. In the early 1970s a journal named Sexualmedizin was founded, the first education courses for physicians in sexual medicine were held and in Frankfurt the first "special" university outpatient clinic in the country was opened with a department for sexual science. During the following decades, several textbooks were published and the professional training of physicians was expanded. As a university specialty, however, sexual medicine is still one of the most threatened medical subjects, being represented in only a few German faculties.Prof. Dr. Volkmar Sigusch, a pioneer of modern sexual research, looks back on events and personal experiences and gives an overview of the actors and sexual-scientific publications of the time.
半个世纪前，在德意志联邦共和国迈出了迈向学术性医学的第一步。在所谓的性革命之后，性科学领域学术化的最初尝试出现在汉堡和法兰克福，在那里设立了独立的研究所和教授职位。通过实证研究，能够证明医生和医学生在性相关话题上的无知，并随后加以解决。20世纪70年代初，一本名为《性医学》的期刊创刊，举办了首届性医学医生教育课程，在法兰克福开设了该国首个设有性科学科室的“特殊”大学门诊。在接下来的几十年里，出版了几本教科书，医生的专业培训也得到了扩展。然而，作为一个大学专业，性医学仍然是最受威胁的医学学科之一，在德国只有少数几个院系开设。现代性研究的先驱沃尔克马尔·西古施教授回顾了这些事件和个人经历，并概述了当时的参与者和性科学出版物。
