FOR months, my wife and I were feeling more and more frustrated as we tried to become intimate with one another. Repeatedly we would end up dissatisfied with the quality of our marital relations, so much so I became anxious whenever sex was mentioned. I felt as though I was to blame, that somehow I was not performing my manly duties by her. Very soon, our marriage became strained.” – Encik Mohamed, 33.
