Intimate Counseling
Professional Help for a Bland Couple
The truth was obvious, they were horrible at sex. John and Beth had met as virgins in high school. They fell in love and were exclusive until they married as virgins. The barrage of religious fueled "you'll go to hell" admonishments from family about sex and a lack of sex education (their families did not believe in it), were substantial walls they had a difficult time climbing.
They loved each other without question. On rare occasions their friends would mention something relating to sex and they always sounded happy. John and Beth usually discouraged such crass talk because they could not figure out what the big deal was. Why were their friends so excited about sex?
John was kind of the lucky one. He got to ejaculate on rare occasions. The couple always felt guilty about that. Beth had never had an orgasm. She assumed that a woman's place was to generate the occasional discharge from her husband for baby making purposes. They did not miss what they had never had. The fact that they were not ready for children exacerbated the situation. Both had been taught to believe that sex was for procreation and they felt guilty for having what limited relations they did.
Their neighbor Chip was hanging out with John one afternoon. His name is Charles, but he hates it. Why he preferred Chip was anyone's guess. Chip took advantage of a vague reference in John's conversation to insert a comment that he had been working up to for a long time, "Rebecca and I are so jealous of you guys. You are both gorgeous. Well, my wife says that you are, and I know Beth is. I bet you guys would look great in a porno."
"What is a porno?"
"Dude, you don't know what a porno is? Really?"
"No, I am not familiar with the word."
Chip had set out to see if John and Beth might be interested in a little swinging. This changed things dramatically. He was shocked that John did not know what porn was, "A porno is a pornographic movie. Pornography is the representation of sex acts using media like magazines, pictures, and video. It is immensely popular."
"That is disgusting. I cannot imagine how they stay in business. No good Christian would look at that filth."
"In 2018 one porn web site recorded an average of 92 million visits a day. I doubt that all those visits were by heathens.
"I don't understand it. You guys are a beautiful couple. I would think that you would be all over each other all of the time."
"We were taught that sex was for procreation only"
"You have known Rebecca and I for five years. You also know we are your friends and would not lie you.
"I do know that. I trust you both."
Then trust me when I say, what you just said is not true. Human beings were designed by nature to have sex. We were given organs that make us feel wonderful when we have sex and minds that enjoy the process and contribute to it.
"Here is a truth you might not be ready to hear." Any religion preaching that sex is bad is plain wrong. The teaching of that religion has been warped by human beings with their own agenda. There is absolutely no harm in enjoying the sex act. There is no reason for you and your wife to feel guilty."
"OK, suppose you are right, I have never found it to be enjoyable. Occasionally I will feel something, but I feel so guilty it is not worth it. I know Beth feels the same."
"It sounds to me like the two of you need some counseling. Sexual Counseling Group might help you both. They have a local branch run by husband and wife doctors and they have helped a lot of people. Talk to Beth and give them a try. It can't hurt and you both might be better for it."
Chip texted the contact information to John, "I just sent it to you. Please do not tell anyone, but Rebecca and I were having problems with our sex life. We went to their clinic and it changed our lives. Trust me, they can help you as well."
Later that Day
John sat down with Beth after dinner to watch television, "Beth, can we talk for a minute?"
"Sure honey."
"I was talking with Chip today and one thing led to another as conversations do." John was extremely nervous. He was not sure how his wife would take the conversation he was starting, "Well, he explained some things about sex to me." John went on to explain his conversation with Chip.
Beth was puzzled, "So are you suggesting we go to this clinic?"
"Well, I think we should give the doctors a try. It cannot hurt and we might learn something."
John looked down at his feet, "Honestly, I have been questioning for a long time why something that creates life is treated as a bad thing."
Beth's hands were wringing, and she was looking at her feet as well. She almost whispered, "I have been wondering about that myself."
"So, is it OK if I setup the appointments?"
"OK."
John made the appointments the next day. They were emailed forms for each of them to complete and send back. The instructions insisted that the couple not show each other their responses. The doctors wanted honest answers that were not influenced by a spouse.
The day of the appointment arrived, and the couple walked into the clinic. They were met by the receptionist that looked like she came from central casting for a porn video. Her scrubs hugged her voluptuous figure, and her breasts were straining to escape her strategically unbuttoned top, "Hello and welcome to the Atuva Clinic branch of the SCG. Are you John and Beth?"
The couple nervously nodded yes.
"Wonderful! Please follow me." She walked the couple through some doors and into a small conference room. A striking couple waited for them. Dr Lisa Atuva was one of the most beautiful women John had ever seen. He was having difficulty not staring at her. He was very confused regarding his feelings in that moment.
Beth was also frozen in place. Dr Don Atuva was just as striking as his wife. He was tall and handsome for sure, but that was not what made her freeze. There was an animalistic intensity about him that was making Beth feel funny. She did not know what she was feeling, but she decided she liked it.
The doctors had them take a seat. Dr Lisa Atuva started the meeting, "It will make things easier if you refer to us as Dr. Lisa and Dr. Don. We have learned that it helps prevent confusion.
"Dr. Don and I have reviewed the information you provided. I have to say I have not been so pissed off in years. That people would use religion to hold power over others makes me madder than hell. The misguided and patently false information you both were subjected to is, in my opinion, not in the spirit of any religion I know of."
John and Beth sat shocked and speechless.
Dr. Lisa smiled, "Please understand, I am not blaming you for any of this. You were fed either no, or wrong, information, and we can correct that. Our success rate is nearly 100%. The first thing we need to do is determine if either of you have physical issues that would affect your ability to enjoy sex. Based on those results we can create a plan for therapy.
"So, how about we get started?"
John and Beth nodded their consent.
"Please review and sign the release forms. We can begin once they have been signed.
John and Beth read through the forms and signed them. There were a lot of terms and conditions they did not understand, but both were too shy to ask about them. They handed the forms to the receptionist.
"John, please come with me. Beth if you will please follow Dr. Don?"
Beth and John thought it was odd they were going with a doctor of the opposite sex for an examination. John hesitated, "I am a little confused. Shouldn't I be going with the male doctor?"
Dr Lisa smiled good naturedly, "We get that a lot. The answer is always the same. If you would like to see a gynecologist instead of a urologist then please change places with your wife."
John realized he had made assumptions about the doctors. Maybe if he had looked closer at the sign out front he would have noticed. His face was a bit red when he nodded his understanding. He was too embarrassed to talk. John meekly followed Dr Lisa out of the room.
Beth's Examination
Beth was standing nervously when Dr Don looked up from his notes and into her eyes. Beth felt like she was falling into the depths of those blue eyes. Dr Don stood. He towered over her. He was big, and strong and, intimidating as hell. Beth felt the goosebumps raising on her arms. She also felt something strange in her groin. She did not know what it was and thought it was probably a good idea she had come after all.
"Follow me."
His voice was deep and a little gravely. Her goosebumps suddenly had goosebumps. She followed him into an exam room. "Undress and get on the exam table."
"Don't I get a gown or something?"
"I would just have to take it off you to examine you. That wastes my time. Do not waste my time. Get undressed."
She found herself obediently following his orders. It was as if he knew that she wanted to follow them. Soon enough she was standing nude in front of him. She walked to the exam table and climbed on to it. She had to get onto the table from the end. When she raised her knee to get on the table, she was very aware that the doctor could see her privates on display.
The doctor approached her and thoroughly examined her from head to toe. From the way he looked and acted he could have been taking out the garbage. He finally had her place her feet in the cold stirrups and gave her the gynecological exam, "Your clitoral hood is much larger than it should be."
"What does that mean?"
"The oversized hood may have some impact on your enjoyment of sex. Your hood overhangs far enough that it does not retract to reveal your clitoris. It is relatively easy to fix. Outpatient surgery will resolve the issue. You will be sore for a week or so while it heals.
"We know how to work around that issue for our purposes today. I have determined that you are in good physical health. Your blood results were all within norms. Our next step is to determine if there are any physiological issues preventing you from enjoying sex."
Dr Dan walked to the door, opened it, and called for his nurse. Momentarily a tall blonde man dressed in scrubs walked into the room, "Yes, doctor?"
"Please begin the physiological testing on Beth. We will start per our protocol at the patient's head and work from there."
The nurse walked over the nude Beth and smiled, "Hi. I am nurse Bob, and I will be assisting you with the testing. This will not hurt. As a matter of fact, it should feel the opposite. The purpose is to determine if your body has any problems reacting to physical stimuli of a sexual nature. If you feel anything unpleasant during the testing please let me know immediately. That has not happened yet, but I like to make a point of it.
