Brief Answer:
Exploring each other in different aspects is just a part of life

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query. Let me congratulate you on having a happy married life and a good relationship with your wife. But let me tell you that in a happy married life, sexual relationship between the partners strengthens the bonding even further. A good bonding is indeed cherishable, but relationships have their own dynamics. Since you two have not felt that something has been left out, you have felt just fine. But everything has stages and one thing comes after another. A married life is not merely about living with one another, it means exploring each other, both mentally and physically. When you two feel each others bodies, the understanding between each other will reach the next level. There is an unexplored realm lying before you to be explored. Discuss with your wife and start exploring it. You two are just normal human beings. You are not some professional in the field. So, you would make mistakes and would also correct them as your understanding grows. Sex is nothing to be afraid of. It is just a part of life.

If you feel hesitant and if your wife is hesitant too, you too can go for a couples' counselling with some psychologist. He/she will help you two overcome the mental obstacles so that your life gets flowing.

There is nothing to be confused about. Take the first step and one thing will follow another.

Wish you all the best.

Doc,

Thanks for your cordial advice.. Sometimes,I feel that as I am quite addicted to porn or lead a very stressed life due to my profession (HR professional) and is lil obessed, all this may lead to failure in sex. Maybe during intercourse I cant stnd long and is erect for pretty less time. I tend to lose my erection pretty fast. Any specific reasons for tht, and if so, any special advice frm u??

regards
doctor

Brief Answer:
You need a prolonged foreplay with your partner

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

I now understand your concerns even better. Porn might be providing you the sexual gratification that you were otherwise to find from your married life. But your sexual frustration is showing up as you are unable to sustain your erection. The solution to this is to get back into reality. In reality we are not porn stars or professionals. So our expectations need to be realistic. You can never expect to be able to do what those people do on screen. The key to a good sexual relation is proper foreplay. Prolonged foreplay will help in achieving proper arousal for both partners and that is very crucial for a proper erection and intercourse. I am sure that exploring the options will solve your problem.

In case that still does not help, sildenafil taken half an hour before getting sexually involved will perhaps be enough to solve your problem.

Thanks Doc.. Do u think that as I take neuro medicine for long 15 years (valporal cr 500) and gaining weight very fast due to one paced life style with junk food ( i am an outright foodie, though absolute non smoker & non drinker), it affects my concentration towards sex and dont get aroused.. Working for 24 X 7 with lots of stress and anxiety may cause these disorder..

Brief Answer:
Try to leave your stress at office. Do not bring it into your sexual life.

Detailed Answer:
Although valproate rather reduces the occurrence of sexual dysfunction, the chances of having sexual problems is higher in patients with epilepsy where these medicines are used. The rapid gain in weight can play an indirect role but is not directly contributory. But stress and anxiety plays a major role in the problems in getting aroused.
