Farrow JA – The sexual health of young men is often neglected by health care systems that assume healthy developmental trajectories. Clinical morbidities and sexual concerns are not uncommon among sexually emerging young men. Sexually–transmitted infections, transient sexual dysfunction and lack of screening for genitourinary abnormalities contribute to this morbidity. This article discusses common sexual issues and concerns of adolescents and young adult men encountered in a clinical practice devoted to men in this age group. The holistic model of care is described. Key issues and updated clinical approaches are discussed. Health care services and education focused on the sexual health of young men improves early detection of disease, prevents morbidity and promotes healthier sexual lifestyles.
