Sexual Dysfunction

Rural Tradition often turns mole holes into mountains. They keep suffering in silence from something that can be clinically handled. In marriage people make potency censor through virginity tests carried out by experienced women in the neighborhood to find out how well has the job been done. If they discover that the girl is still virgin despite sleeping with her man, they brand the groom as impotent. This will hurt the man so terribly as he feels that his reputation as well as social status has been damaged.

With smiles of romantic bliss
Fitting well on shining faces
Each one saw a sparkle
In the others misty eyes
Feeling the warmth
Of the glowing flame
Watching the flicker
With increasing ease

Both were happy to be together
To be alone in the same room
And to be naked on same bed
But through the waters of joy
Missery started to bubble slowly

Erectile dysfunction knocked the door
With panic he covered his palms on his face
Feeling as helpless as a farmer with a broken hoe
Wondering what his people will think of him
Believing that a cultural shame had touched his pride

Oh, my heart goes out to people having to experience such a tender, often treatable situation with such indignity.
Thank you for your awareness writes Abdi-Noor. They're invaluable!
Love, Suzie

How unfair it is to put such pressure on a man; I am surprised that any man can perform under those circumstances. Even as a woman, I know that awkward feeling of the first encounter and rarely am I the best that I can be. Lovemaking should flow and never be forced. I have found that a night of being cuddled together while sleeping can make for a morning of blissful surprises. Excellent writing, Abdi-Noor.
Take care,
Sherry

this is so very, very sad. It's hard to believe that a couple's privacy can be invaded so brutally. I wonder what the purpose of this 'virginity test' is?

The cultrual traditions in most countries harm more than belong. This one is so hard to accept. It is a shame that they continue this practice and should be stopped. I can only imagine the demeaning effect for the groom and the bride. I'm praying for cultrual changes in this world now thank you for allowing us to know.

Light & peace,
Joselyn

What a strange tradition. I think the man who is called impotent should have a right to rape his accuser. That would teach her a lesson. No, just joking. I am against violence. Victor

Sad truth of some culture.I believe it is the ignorance that fuels this sort of behavior.
You have given us the vivid scenario of this problem of erctile dysfunction in some rural places.

Bom Bhole!
