YOUR MARITAL HEALTH/FINDING OUT WHO’S THE MATTER WITH US: COLD
SEXUAL PROBLEMS – DIMINISHED F- AND/OR R-AREA AND DIMINISHED G- AND/OR C-AREA SENSITIVITY
DIMINISHED F- AND/OR R-AREA SENSITIVITY: Somebody turned off the switch on me. I cannot feel much down there at all. I was kicked hard there once when I was a kid, and it was numb for hours. This is something like that. I have almost no feeling.
HUSBAND
In the absence of medical problems, this male problem relates to the parasympathetic mediation associated with cold-running times. When we run cold, we tend to run nonreactively, and our response level to life, to sex, decreases. Seventy-five men reported this problem, and twenty of these men were shown to have a medical problem. The rest had unwillingly and unconsciously anesthetized their genital area. One of the men tried a vibrator, which he strapped to his hand, reporting, “I tried to force some sensation, and it made it worse.” Sexual enjoyment cannot be force-fed; it must be received by an open and balanced life-style free of the learned helplessness of the cold reaction.
DIMINISHED G- AND/OR C-AREA SENSITIVITY: He bought every sex toy in the catalogue. He even tried a Water Pik, and shot water at my clitoris. Nothing. I just don’t feel down there. Then he went after the G spot. I don’t have one of those either.
WIFE
Seventy-five wives also reported diminished G- or C-area sensitivity. Once the women were educated as to the mythology about a magic G spot that swelled when touched and produced ejaculate, they learned that their bodies, all bodies, change from time to time, sexual encounter to sexual encounter. Some then continued to report a lack of pleasing sensations in the genital area.
