The Video Journal of Prosthetic Urology (VJPU) was established in 2013 by the inaugural Editor-in-Chief Dr. Steven Wilson (2013-2022), followed by the Editor-in-Chief Rafael Carrion, who served during 2022-2023.

In 2023, VJPU was relaunched to become the Video Journal of Sexual Medicine (VJSM), under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Dr Faysal A. Yafi, with the aim to become a more inclusive video journal that encompasses all the various aspects of Sexual Medicine. Dr David Barham was appointed as Deputy Editor-in-Chief in July 2024, to further strengthen the vision and mission of the VJSM.

VJSM is part of the ISSM portfolio of journals, which also includes The Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM), Sexual Medicine Reviews (SMR) and Sexual Medicine Open Access (SMOA).

Today, the VJSM includes 380+ peer reviewed videos, including all aspects of sexual medicine including male and female sexual dysfunction topics, gender affirming surgery, cosmetic surgery, oncosexology and more.

The journal is not only geared toward surgical videos but also includes procedural, clinical, and other instructional content.

Over the last years, the journal has expanded to include other content including the VJSM Legends Series, the VJSM Debate Series and the VJSM My Preference is Series.

VJSM now also includes a dedicated VJSM Residents Corner, which includes videos geared towards the education of trainees through a structured didactic process.
