THE STEREOTYPES – ‘MEN HATE CONDOMS’ (INSTANCE)
Mr. C. has severe premature ejaculation and he put it this way. ‘Imagine what it is like. You put on a condom to stop coming. Sometimes I come when she is watching me put it on, and if I get inside I am likely to go soft and it will come off before I ejaculate.’
He was desperately in love with and excited by his younger wife. He had coped by not lying close to her in bed, and when they came to make love he tried with condoms to show willing, but it did not help. His problem led to such stress that his wife had an affair with someone else and got pregnant. By this time he was completely impotent. Later, when his jealousy was out in the open, his anger exploded one day as she went out to playgroup in clothes revealing most of her body. He was able to express his need to have more of her for himself, and when she withdrew her exposure to the privacy of their bedroom, he became potent again.
