Psychiatrist helps you with your relationship matters
I am a 26-year-old male virgin. All my friends boast of multiple sexual encounters. They say without it I won’t be able to satisfy my wife. What should I do?
Thanks for writing in. Feel proud of yourself and don’t fall for myths. One should indulge in sexual activity only one is mentally prepared for the same. Don’t look at physical sex as an activity that will define your marital life.
Sex is an act which is sweetened by the emotions of love that one adds to it. In today’s society “peer pressure” for “sex” is creating a lot of myths and in some cases spoiling a lot of marriages by inducing sexual addictions. Feel free to indulge in it as and when you feel comfortable.
I come from a middle class background and I am determined to be successful. My friends tease me as I am not interested in guys or in having a relationship. Am I normal?
Yes, you are completely normal. It’s our inherently human trait to search for an identity. There are various ways to get there. While some are in search of professional success, others are in search of personal success. Wish you the best for your goals in life, don’t run after a relationship, let it happen for you. Keep doing what you naturally feel happy doing.
