Q: I am 27 years old. My problem is that my husband lives away from me because of job responsibility for the past 3 years and there is no chance of his coming back before 5 years. Will this create any sexual problems or personal problems between us later? Now a days he insists on talking to me 'dirty' over phone; he says it will satisfy our sexual desire. But I am worried about this and also do not like to do this over the phone as it irritates me lot. I fear losing his love. Please advise me how to get rid of this problem. I feel his behaviour is abnormal; is that true?

A:Being away from each other is unlikely to create any sexual difficulties. Chances are however of problems creeping in at an interpersonal level and that too only if you allow them to. In other words all you need to is to keep a good communication going and continue to share your thoughts and feelings with each other. Remember to consult the other while taking important decisions. As far as sexual talk on the phone is concerned, it must be done with the consent of both persons involved. There is nothing abnormal in that behaviour. Talk to your husband about your apprehensions and if are able to rid yourself of the inhibitions then go ahead. If not, request him to respect your feelings and not to push you into it.
