This year´s topic: Sexual pain

The board of NSSM has the pleasure to invite all professionals in the field of sexology to an interesting afternoon on line.

To achieve the link to the meeting you must register by mail to admin@nssm.dk . Attendance is free – nonmembers are also welcome and hopefully they will be inspired to apply for memberships.

We have decided to cast light on sexual pain from many angles: female, male, patient or partner by a multidisciplinary group of distinguished speakers from the Nordic countries. The afternoon will be in English.

The lectures will be recorded and are available for 14 days for attendees whereafter they will be deleted.
