When confronted by the concerns of human sexual function or dys
function, American medicine finds itself well impaled on the horns
of a dilemma. Currently it is acceptable medical practice to treat
sexual dysfunctions, disorders, or dissatisfactions that arise from
psy chogenic etiologies, endocrine imbalances, neurologic defects
or are side effects of necessary medication regimes. In addition,
implanta tion of penile prostheses in cases of organic impotence is
an increas ingly popular surgical procedure. These clinical
approaches to sexual inadequacies, accepted by medicine since 1970,
represent one horn of the dilemma. The opposite horn pictures the
medical profession firmly backed into a corner by cultural
influences. For example, when hospital admissions occur, a
significant portion of the routine medical history is the section
on system review. A few questions are asked about the
cardio-respiratory, the genito-urinary, and the gastro-intestinal
sys tems. But in a preponderance of hospitals no questions are
permitted or, if raised, answers are not recorded about human
sexual functioning. Physicians tend to forget that they are victims
of cultural imposition first and of professional training a distant
second."
