Introduction to Special Issue on Veterans’ Sexual Health and Functioning

Pages 1-5 | Received 20 Nov 2011, Accepted 25 Nov 2011, Published online: 26 Mar 2012
 

ABSTRACT

The literature on military veterans' sexual health and functioning is largely limited to medication effects on desire and arousal and to military sexual trauma. This is the first scientific journal issue devoted to the sexual health and functioning of military veterans. Four papers describe the effects of combat experiences on American veterans' sexual functioning, sexual risk behavior, mental health, health status, and relationships. One paper describes the effects of sexual assault on women's sexual health, and one paper describes health care utilization among transgender veterans. Studies outside of the United States are needed to understand cultural and health care system differences.
