collaborations
EFS strongly believes in the need to join forces to achieve higher goals, not only because we are composed of a network of associations and individual members, but also because we collaborate at European and international level with other associations and scientific societies that share our same aim: Improving the quality of life and making sexual health accessible for everybody.

ISSM – International Society for Sexual Medicine
The International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM, formerly known as ISIR/ISSIR) was established in 1978 for the purpose of promoting research and exchange of knowledge for the clinical entity “impotence” throughout the international scientific community. The principal orientation of ISSM was initially towards basic science of erection, defects in the erectile mechanism, and the clinical aspects of diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction. The orientation is now towards the whole field of human sexuality.
