Husband Stopped Having Sex Suddenly, Had Childhood Sexual Encounter. What Was Keeping Him From Having Sex?
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.
It is very unusual query for us in which somebody is asking about a conflict in her mind. Although with this information it is difficult to tell exact cause but some of the possibilities we can think which can lead to above behavior (in order of preference):
-Personality issues like cluster A personality (schizoid personality)
-Mild Depression leading to aversion to physical intimacy
-Performance anxiety while doing sex. But not having such problem during sex
-Some time sexual abuse history suppressed in memory. That may be one of the reason for aversion for sex.
-Pain during sex in later part of marital life which he may be hiding from you.
-Getting bore with long relation leading to avoidance of sexual intimacy so that relationship can end and he can move on.
Considering all these causes history from him, physical examination and psychological assessment can help us to reach final diagnosis.
Some information regarding Schizoid personality:
(1) Few, if any, activities provide pleasure.
(2) Displays emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affectivity.
(3) Limited capacity to express warm, tender feelings for others as well as anger.
(4) Appears indifferent to either praise or criticism of others.
(5) Little interest in having sexual experiences with another person (taking into account age).
(6) Almost always chooses solitary activities.
(7) Excessive preoccupation with fantasy and introspection.
(8) Neither desires, nor has, any close friends or confiding relationships (or only one).
(9) Marked insensitivity to prevailing social norms and conventions; if these are not followed this is unintentional.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
