In another case handled by Mr John Vasavan, a couple had marital problems because the wife did not want to perform oral sex on her husband.

"He wanted oral sex after hearing about how good it felt from colleagues at work.

"He asked his wife for it while in the throes of passion, only to be flatly denied.

"She told him, 'my mouth is only for eating'."

"He felt hurt by the abrupt brush-off and they stopped discussing the issue, which led to further problems in the marriage.

"Through counselling and talking it out, he grew to realise that it was her deep religious beliefs which led to her aversion to oral sex.

"She also had concerns about how legal it was. Slowly, he grew to accept her views.

"To his surprise, she consented to doing it some years down the road.

"She just did it without him asking, and he was dumbfounded."
