Women more open than men in admitting sexual problems in Qatar



A recent survey conducted in Qatar revealed that women are more candid than men in discussing sexual problems in their married life.

Participating in the survey, a vast majority of women, almost 97 per cent, wanted to launch a sexual health awareness campaign among men.

The survey was conducted as part of eliciting women's views on the sexual problems faced by them in the married life and how they are equipped to face the future challenges in sexual life.

The survey conducted among married women of various ages, social classes and origin, living in Qatar, has proved almost 10 per cent of married males are impotent.

Compared to men, women were more candid in their opinions. Men were largely embarrassed to discuss the issue. They are also reluctant to consult doctors or even to discuss their sexual problems with wives, the survey said.

Dr. Dibashish Singhuenna, a medical expert in the survey team, said 73 per cent of women accepted the idea of treatment because they believe that medical intervention will minimize the tension encountered with impotency. "There are a lot of effective medicines in the market that will help people bring back to their normal sexual life. The suffering people should seek the advice of a medical expert", he said.

However, the number of males who admit that they were facing problems in sexual life is on the increase. Since studies have also proved that the number of impotent cases is increasing among women, awareness campaign is also inevitable among womenfolk.

Participating in the survey, 62 percent of women agreed that sexual urge was weakening as the age catches up. Fourty-six per cent feel that they lose their urge after their husbands become passive on bed.

Dr Mohamed Sameh, said that an open discussion between the couple can minimize the psychological impact of the problem.
