Preface for Marcel Waldinger special issue on premature ejaculation

Abstract

During a break in one of the hectic sexual medicine congresses, I was telling him the problems I was encountering in my academic career, yet again. With an abrupt interruption, he asked me my zodiac sign. I was perplexed by this question and after a moment of silence, I said “you are one of the greatest neuroscientists, do not tell me that you believe in that crap”. He gave a warm and wise smile, a smile that we have rarely seen on him. He said, “there are things even I could not explain scientifically, it does not mean that they do not exist. I cannot prove any scientific evidence but the astrology theory perfectly explains many aspects in my life.”
