Q: I am a 28 years old male. I have got a small sexual weakness. Whenever I see females touching the ear or nose of males, I get sexually aroused. What should I do to control this?

A:There could be various gestures, signs that communicate or rather signal different meanings, sexual or not. Our bodies have a natural tendency to elicit certain reactions in response to specific stimuli. Just like we would feel scared to see a lion or feel anxious during exams, similarly we feel excited/sexually aroused on seeing something erotic. This is a normal and a natural reaction and thus it requires no forced attempt to be blocked. However, what is important is how these feelings are channelised or dealt with. This needs to be done in ways that are personally and/or socially appropriate and do not interfere in your day to day functioning.
