Q: My wife and I had a good sexual relationship after marriage. But after about a year or so my wife is not responding to my sexual desires as she used to. Though she dose not refuse to have intercourse, she does not show much desire to do so. What can I do to solve this problem? I get depressed and I cannot take the first initiative to have intercourse every time. Please let me know what should be done to tackle this problem. Secondly, what are the best condoms that can be used to allow my wife to enjoy the intercourse much better?

A:Looks like these circumstances are taking a toll on you. Your distress is quite understandable. However, I would like to tell you that what you and your wife are going through, is very common and can be tackled. What is most important here is to understand the reason for your wife's diminishing interest. For this it is necessary that both of you talk about it frankly and openly. A good option here can be to seek professional help. You can seek consultation from a psychiatrist or a sex therapist. This is needed in order to rule out any kind of physical problems that might be leading to this reduced desire. As for giving more pleasure to your wife, try clitoral stimulation. For most women, it is easier to get a clitoral orgasm than a vaginal orgasm.
