In my thirty years practice as a physician and more than fifteen years as a STD Specialist, who are customarily the first persons to be consulted in our country for various sexual, psycho-sexual problem, I find enormous work has to be undertaken in this sector to build up a healthy and motivated youth force and population in general. Our population is grossly physically defective. According to a study the average number of orgasms achieved by wives is only three per marital life. To many people pregnancy seems to be the only goal-- irrespective of the fact whether the wife was duly 'satisfied' or not. The wife expects to achieve orgasm at least 40-50% of the times.

Our students, workers, lower, lower middle, middle class income group people are quite ignorant about sexual cycles, reproductive organs and health, safe practices, the role of foreplay, orgasm, male and female masturbation etc. The wife expects the husband to take her to the height of pleasure from the very beginning! And the husband/partner would like to possess sex drive of a horse at every encounter irrespective of his health, body stature, physical and mental well-being, stress factors, lethargy, age etc. It's more predominant among the workers and people whose wives reside in the village homes or away.

The students also come up with such complaints.

Various psychological disorders like depression, hysteria crop up from sexual disharmony, mal-performance.

With rapid urbanisation and other resultant factors these problems require to be addressed with due sincerity and seriousness.

Formal sex education has to be imparted on a mandatory basis in the post primary school level to weed out false notions or ideas about sex, and right information ought to be made available to the population.
