OBJECTIVE: The stone monuments named as "Orhon" inscriptions located in Middle Asia are considered the first written Turkish findings. Our aim was to discuss the contents and physical appearance of the monuments according to the andrological perspective. METHODS: These inscriptions were composed of three stone monuments built in the years 720-735 AD, in honor of three Khagans (Ruling leaders). RESULTS: Although the theme of the writings emphasizes the male-dominant ruling style of the antique Middle Asian migratory tribes, we claim that the most interesting point was that the phallus had a secret role in the perspective of the stone monuments. CONCLUSION: The trilogy of power, state authority, and erection was monumentalized in 8th-century inscriptions. The signs of Andrology should be sought in history, archeology, and art to expand the esthetic horizon of modern medical sciences.

Male arrogance, medical ignorance of anatomy and functioning of the human genitals, and social reservations about sex education have hampered urological and gynecological research since the 1920s. This changed under the premises of National Socialism when some physicians willing to cooperate were given the opportunity to perform human experiments. The gynecologist Boris Belonoschkin was one of them. He continued his career in Sweden after 1945, where he became an internationally respected scholar. As such, he was able to bring books of his former German colleagues to international attention again. He also promoted andrological research in Western Germany.

In this contribution we describe the life and work of the Berlin physician Carl Posner (1854-1928). We present his central role as a member of the founding generation of urology, andrology, and academic sexology in Germany. His clinical work, research and publication illustrate the central role these new disciplines played in the urological field. Finally, we describe how Posner is remembered in the history of urology and sexology.

It has been one and a half centuries since Enrico Sertoli published the seminal discovery of the testicular 'nurse cell', not only a key cell in the testis, but indeed one of the most amazing cells in the vertebrate body. In this review, we begin by examining the three phases of morphological research that have occurred in the study of Sertoli cells, because microscopic anatomy was essentially the only scientific discipline available for about the first 75 years after the discovery. Biochemistry and molecular biology then changed all of biological sciences, including our understanding of the functions of Sertoli cells. Immunology and stem cell biology were not even topics of science in 1865, but they have now become major issues in our appreciation of Sertoli cell's role in spermatogenesis. We end with the universal importance and plasticity of function by comparing Sertoli cells in fish, amphibians, and mammals. In these various classes of vertebrates, Sertoli cells have quite different modes of proliferation and epithelial maintenance, cystic vs. tubular formation, yet accomplish essentially the same function but in strikingly different ways.

IntroductionThe relationship between both genders has conditioned different ways concerning the expression of sexuality.ObjectiveThis investigation analysed the evolution of the sexual double standard and its relations with sexual satisfaction, concerning the Portuguese context.Material and methodsTo do so, 2 different male samples were compared: one aged from 20-30 years and the other aged from 40-50 years, considering the possibility of a certain transgenerational effect in transmitting sexual standards.ResultsThe results show that sexual satisfaction is not correlated with personal acceptance of the sexual double standard, and that we are not abandoning the sexual double standard in order to establish a more egalitarian one.DiscussionAlthough both groups recognise the social pervasiveness of the sexual double standard, younger men are more attached to the sexual double standard when compared to older ones.ConclusionsSuch results can be seen in a way of a certain masculine fear about women's emancipation, and the need for a social adequateness. At the end, some suggestions are made considering the results (AU)
Introdução. A relação entre géneros tem condicionado a expressão da sexualidade ao longo das diversas épocas históricas. Objetivo. A presente investigação visa analisar a evolução do fenómeno de duplo padrão sexual e relacioná-lo com o conceito de satisfação sexual, no que concerne ao caso português. Material e métodos. Foram comparados 2 grupos do sexo masculino, com homens dos 20-30 anos e dos 40-50 anos, avaliando-se a possibilidade de um «efeito de geração» na transmissão de padrões sexuais. Resultados. Contrariamente ao esperado, a satisfação sexual não estava relacionada com a defesa pessoal do duplo padrão sexual nem houve abandono do duplo padrão sexual em favor de um padrão mais igualitário. Discussão. Embora ambos os grupos etários reconheçam a existência social do duplo padrão sexual, os homens mais jovens revelam estar mais apegados ao duplo padrão sexual relativamente aos homens mais velhos. Conclusões. Tais resultados podem ser vistos à luz dum certo receio masculino acerca da emancipação da mulher e também de uma certa necessidade de normatividade social. Por fim, são apontadas algumas sugestões para a intervenção clínica, considerando os resultados obtidos (AU)
