International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health
2010 Annual Meeting
February 18 – 21, 2010
Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront
St. Petersburg, Florida

WELCOME MESSAGE
I would like to officially welcome everyone to the 2010 Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH) scheduled in St. Petersburg, Florida. As many know, I am an obstetrician gynecologist, as well as an AASECT certified sexual counselor. The goal for this program is to attempt to bridge the gap and strengthen the ties within the sexual health community.

While we have maintained the evidence-based focus of the program, we as ISSWSH members have grown to embrace the multifaceted and interdisciplinary mantra that sensuality, sexuality and intimacy for women is a dynamic complex interplay of sexual medicine and sexual psychology. In this program we have tried to create this dynamic relationship. You still will find many detailed talks about biology, hormones and scientific mechanism of neurobiological influences on female sexuality. The seminar on hypoactive sexual desire disorder is a blend of neurobiological data coupled with exciting new data from the HSDD registry to be presented by Ray Rosen. Anita Clayton will deliver an exciting lecture on new emerging data on a promise ng medication for HSDD. Leah Millheiser will cover her groundbreaking research in neurobiological issues and FMRI studies in HSDD. Another symposium is focused on updates: we will hear about the new DSM, dyspareunia treatments and innovative information about sleep, hormones and sexuality.

We finally break down all sexual barriers, and look at pornography in women by a lecture from Martin Hald from Denmark. Charles Moser will certainly, captivate the audiences with his lecture on BDSM — it is a must lecture and a first in ISSWSH history. Dr. Whitmore will amaze the audience with her discussion of male sexual complaints and its influence of female sexual function. We are finally talking about male sexuality and its influences on their partners. Finally, in the last symposium, we look at some myths of testosterone; Susan Kellogg-Spadt will discuss throat cancer through the lens of sexually transmitted disease and we’ll get a comprehensive review from David Goldmeier concerning pelvic inflammatory disease, and human papilloma disease.

We are fortunate to fortify a new relationship with IUGA, we welcome Cheryl Iglesia from who will speak on the impact of urogynecological concerns and sexual function. We are excited by the mutual interest our organizations have in maintaining a long-term relationship. State-of-the-art lectures are exciting: Talli Rosenbaum to talk on unconsummated relationships, Alan Altman to discuss hormones, Haywood Brown, noted obstetrician and perinatologist, to cover sexuality and pregnancy, and Jan Schifrin to update us on recent data on testosterone use in women.

I would like to acknowledge my co-chair, Anne Katz, and the entire Scientific Program Committee, who have been a dedicated group with their help and encouragement. I want to thank ISSWSH President Sheryl Kingsberg for her commitment to the organization and her efforts with this program. For some of the behind the scenes supporters, and many others, thank you for your support and endless hours of work on the program. Last but not least, a special thank you to Sue O’Sullivan and her support system at WJ Weiser & Associates for their efforts in getting this conference buffed and shined.

There is something for everyone here. I do hope you enjoy! We have created a program which has something for each unique person — it will personally light your fire and facilitate your mood to become passionate.

St. Petersburg, Florida
Because of its annual average of 360 sunny days, St. Petersburg is called the Sunshine City. Surrounded by water and beaches on three sides, the city draws winter sun seekers from all over. St. Petersburg has a booming local economy, especially in tourism, health care, manufacturing, and high technology. And “St. Pete,” as it is frequently referred to, is part of the larger Tampa Bay area that also includes the major cities of Tampa and Clearwater. St. Petersburg is connected directly to a string of small Gulf of Mexico beach communities across the Intracoastal Waterway.

Weather and Dress
St. Petersburg in the end of February is usually warm and sunny, with average highs in the low to mid 70s and lows in the mid to upper 50s. Evenings can be cool, so a light sweater or jacket is suggested.
