Frontiers | Editorial: Sexuality and sexual dysfunctions
February 26, 2026 - 07:08
A new editorial collection aims to advance the scientific and clinical understanding of human sexuality by presenting diverse and compelling research. The work seeks to provide accurate and useful information for both the general public and healthcare professionals, moving these often-stigmatized topics into clearer focus.
The editorial underscores that sexual health is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being, yet sexual dysfunctions remain prevalent and frequently under-discussed in medical settings. The series intends to bridge gaps in knowledge by compiling contemporary studies that examine the biological, psychological, and relational dimensions of sexual function and satisfaction.
By curating this research, the initiative challenges outdated perceptions and promotes a more nuanced, evidence-based conversation. It highlights the importance of considering individual experiences and the wide spectrum of what constitutes healthy sexuality. The ultimate goal is to foster better clinical practices, improve patient-provider communication, and empower individuals through knowledge, thereby enhancing quality of life and relational health for many.
