- We saved our selves for marriage because we are very religious. The problem is we never knew how to start with that, and as the time went by it became harder and harder. Please help us - the young couple continued to complain, and 24.sata.hr portal reported their story.
According to the portal, it is about highly educated people from Zagreb, who functioned normally in all other aspects of their lives. They realized that they had problems when family and relatives started asking them why don't they have children, even though they tried to solve the situation without anyone's help, that was simply not possible without the doctor.
- Those cases are common and they are not unusual. We started with the therapy and at was conversation only, and after patients reaching some sexual obstacle, they could talk about it more easily and the problem would be solved more easily - said Goran Arbanas, psychiatrist, and sex therapist.
He adds that the spouses said they loved each other, they get along and they are nice with each other, but both of them was unpleasant even starting the talk about sex.
- After ten months of therapy, which is longer than the average, they managed to solve the problem - said Arbanas mentioning that therapy, besides conversation, includes different games, like the game of touch, which he gives to the patients and they conduct at home.
When they come for the next time on the therapy, they talk about the doctor openly.
- All people of all age and education are coming for help with sexual interferences, people from 18 to 80 years old. But, when it comes to men, they are mostly from 20 to 60 years old, while there are rarely those in their seventies and eighties - said Arbanas. When it comes to females, they come mostly younger, from 20 to 30 years old, and rarely those in their forties.
