I Am Afraid of Sex; I Have a Small Penis

06 January, 2021
Q I was scared of getting married, but 2 months ago I got married. Now, I am afraid to have a sexual relationship with my wife. I am scared she may divorce me or tell everybody that I have a 3-inch small penis.

I am so worried about the situation of getting into a sexual relationship with her. I am praying a lot but not getting answers at all whether I should try having sex with my wife or not. She is not that much reliable. Please help! I am just wasting my time…

Answer


In this counseling answer:

• Instead of focusing on this thing that makes you feel anxious, try focusing on the positive things that are not related to it.

• As you become more relaxed concentrating on other things, your attention will be taken off it.

• The more time you spend worrying about it, the more difficult it will become.


Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh brother,

When you selected your spouse or had her selected for you, I imagine you have looked at many of her traits and her of you. Since you proceed with the marriage, it is likely that you both found many positive things in each other.

Of course, your situation makes you anxious about having intercourse with her. However, there is more to a marriage than this.

Instead of focusing on this thing that makes you feel anxious, try focusing on the positive things that are not related to it.

Develop a Close Relationship

Develop a close relationship with her so that you do not need to fear the physical aspect anymore. Sex is done out of love and to increase the bond more than anything else.

It seems this issue takes you over. So, by focusing on other more important things, your mind will be taken off it. As you become more relaxed concentrating on other things, your attention will be taken off it. It will become less of an issue to you and make it easier for you to approach your wife. This will be further made easier once you have developed a close bond with your wide as well.

Focus on Other Enjoyable Stuff

Take the pressure off this single issue and focus on nurturing other things such as love in the relationship. Do things together as well as other things outside of sex that makes you feel good about yourself. This will boost your confidence generally as you come to feel more confident in yourself as a person without the worry of physical traits like the presenting issue here.

Try not to place too much pressure on yourself regarding this single thing as this will only make it harder as time passes. The more time you spend worrying about it, the more difficult it will become.

Instead, focus this attention on other things. Use this energy to do things so that you do not waste your time as you have stated.

This feeling of wasting time will only add to your psychological burden and make you not feel good about yourself. Using your time well, doing useful things will counter these negative thoughts you have about yourself and how you spend your time and services to increase your confidence which will spill over into other aspects of your life.

May Allah bring you happiness and contentment in your marriage and make you and your wife the coolness of each other’s eyes.

Amen,
