The Sexual Advice Association
The Sexual Advice Association (previously known as the Sexual Dysfunction Association) is an invaluable source of information for patients and doctors, wishing to know more about the problem of ED.
The association was established to raise awareness of the incidence of ED and its causes amongst both the public and the medical profession. It educates sufferers and their partners on the wide range of treatments available, puts them in touch with specialist practitioners and provides direct support and advice.
For further information on erection problems, treatments and other sexual conditions, call the Sexual Advice Association Helpline on 0207 486 7262, write to the association at Windmill Place Business Centre, 2-4 Windmill Lane, Southall, Middlesex UB2 4NJ, or visit the SDA's website.

British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM)
The British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM) was founded in 1997 (as the British Society for Sexual and Impotence Research or BSSIR) for the purpose of promoting research and exchange of knowledge of impotence and other aspects of sexual function and dysfunction, in both men and women, throughout the UK scientific community.
The Society recognises the importance of a holistic approach to understanding of human sexuality and its problems, and encourages research into all of its many aspects. The Society will encourage, foster and maintain the highest standards in clinical practice amongst its members, and promote the adoption of similar standards amongst UK health professionals in general.
