#C27598 Male, 32. Married for 1 year after being in a relationship for 4 years. During our relationship, we were physically affectionate, but my partner was uncomfortable with taking the relationship further before marriage. I respected her wishes and never pressured her. After marriage, we expected things to become easier, but she continued to experience significant fear and anxiety regarding physical intimacy. Over time, I learned that she may have a phobia related to it. We have tried various approaches, including consulting a gynecologist. However, even routine examinations made her very anxious. The doctor suggested lubricants and gradual exercises using dilators, but she has not been very consistent with the recommended practice. This situation has been emotionally stressful for both of us. I care deeply about my wife and want to support her, but I also feel confused, lonely, and unsure how to move forward. I cannot comfortably discuss this with friends or family, so I am seeking advice from people who may have faced something similar. Has anyone dealt with a situation like this? What approaches, therapies, or conversations helped you and your partner work through it?

Be very gentle and empathetic towards her. She might have some childhood trauma or some other related issue. She needs support from a good psychotherapist. The one who is experienced and has dealt with similar kind of case. Also ignore rubbishy comments like one given by some Yashpal Singh here.
I can see many people have suggested visiting psychologist also please check if there was any traumatic experience in past with her be open to hear the response and make sure that you won't judge her by it

Vaginismus is troublesome and women fear much more than they can express, you need to be extremely gentle, make her feel comfortable and probably go for couple therapy. Ask her to talk to her girl friends and take suggestions and lubricants are really helpful.
Probably she is suffering from vaginismus and anxiety or even phobia from what you have described, best is you and your wife need to meet a psychologist.. a few sessions and it will be resolved.. And its fairly common.. It can be cured too
Yaha zyada log s¥x overdose wale aate hei... Yeh scarcity wala toh anokha hei iss group mei There are programmes in Mexico, bali, costa rica, Thailand, which are all about couple sexual therapies in group settings (individual couples)...some ppl learn and imbibe quickly when they see other couples around, anxiety may lessen..
Please try connecting marriage counsellors at CMC Vellore in Tamil Nadu.. Afaik, they do have 21 days therapy for these marital issues..
Hi , pls message me. I will give doctor detail and advise
If you're decent looking, work on yourself, get fit and flirt with other women infront of her. Women don't understand the value of what they have till they face the threat of losing it.
Marriage without intimacy is nothing but a fraud. Intimacy only thint you can't buy like groceries or like house help services becoz this what both partners agreed for .
Pls contact Dr Taru Jindal
