- 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.
