00:00Hello there, welcome to the second installation of Putting Dr. G on the Spot in the month
00:05of June, where we're talking about frequency of sexual activities and what is considered
00:10a lot and what's not considered as a lot.
00:13Last week, we talked about this study, it outlined several things.
00:17The frequency of sexual activity as a barometer.
00:20What happens if there is a sexless relationship amongst the couples?
00:32In fact, a lot of health experts actually call having sex less than 10 times a year is contemplated
00:40as a sexual, sexless relationship.
00:45So how common is it?
00:46In the States, there are some studies that highlight that it can be one in five couples
00:53actually experience sexless relationship.
00:56So what exactly happened?
00:59So there is a psychological and also there is a physical reason why people having sexless
01:06relationship.
01:07For example, if somebody's got chronic illnesses like chronic kidney diseases, hormonal disorder,
01:16radiotherapy after cancers or chronic illness itself might result in erectile dysfunction
01:23and sexless relationship.
01:26However, in a common relationship viewpoint, there may be conflict.
01:31For example, relationship itself might actually have problems as far as it comes to money, raising
01:38up children and also infidelity.
01:41And all these create tensions and that tensions create disparity in the sexual needs.
01:48So whenever there is a sexless relationship, the first thing people tend to ask is that will
01:55it cause any physical harm to the body, especially in men?
01:59The answer is no, because even though, let's say for example, a monk who actually do not ejaculate
02:06over a period of time, the body has a way in order to metabolize excess amount of sperm
02:14that's produced and somehow might be excreted one way or another.
02:19Very rarely, some people might feel discomfort or might even get prostatitis, but that's actually
02:24quite rare.
02:26So under that circumstance, will it create tension in the relationship?
02:31The answer is maybe.
02:33So if this disparity in sexual desire actually is acceptable because the couple itself has
02:40other ways of appreciating, enjoying each other's relationship, then this disparity of one
02:48person don't want sex or both person don't want to sex is actually not an issue at all.
02:52However, when there's a disparity with one needing more and the other is not needing it, that
02:59itself will create a tension and the best way to deal with it is open communication in
03:05order to see what are the ways that everyone can meet halfway and actually satisfy each other's
03:12sexual appetite.
03:13Next week, we're going to talk about excessive sexual activity.
03:18adversity, will that actually have an impact on adversity of your physical health?
03:23Then you need to stay tuned for next week's Putting Dr. G on the Spot.
03:29And that's how we have to ignore all that.
03:30So during the time, we're going to try to advance everything on the spot, moving on and
03:32And then we're going to try to jump the opportunity right now.
03:33And then we're going to try to get me on this task and let's keep you from looking back in
03:34the city heading on the spot and be it right now.
03:34And I'm just thinking, I'm not sure, the light of the COVID-19 plan.
03:36And I'm just thinking that there are no issues including it.
03:36And I'm just thinking, we're kind of not behind theัŒ.
03:37You
