About European Federation of Sexology

On behalf of the European Federation of Sexology (EFS) and the Croatian Association for Sex Therapy (CAST), it is a great honour to present to you the 13th Congress of the European Federation of Sexology held in the beautiful town of Dubrovnik, from 25th to 28th of May, 2016.

“Sexology: body, mind and culture”: this title was selected since sexology is a human experience that is truly influenced by our bodies, our mind and psychology, and also by our culture, values, religion, politics and attitudes. Therefore it is a truly multidisciplinary and multi-level area of research and clinical work.

Therefore, following the EFS tradition, we have welcomed all the professionals who work in the realm of sexology: psychologists, psychiatrists, urologists, gynaecologists, general practitioners, endocrinologists, educators, teachers, social workers, basic researchers, nurses and many, many others to be part of this endeavour.

The EFS Congress is the place where new and innovative approaches to both research and clinical work, and also sexual education and sexual rights, can be presented, heard and promoted. Our Scientific Committee created a rich and outstanding program and is a pleasure to share these efforts with you. Therefore, thanks to F1000’s very kind collaboration, we share in this space all the contributes produced by our delegates from the scientific sexologists community.

In conclusion, we would like to invite you and welcome you to actively become a member of the great family of EFS, and share with us the beauty of dealing with sexuality and helping people being more happy and satisfied with their sexual lives.
