40 couples freshly married and with sexual intercourse failure were counselled by the Advisory Department of Marriage Health Care, founded in 1981. The results of treatment were obtained from original records and recent follow up visits. Of the 49 cases, 18 couples had functional, psychological and physiological problems, including 11 cases of impotence, 2 cases of rejection, 1 case where a man was rejected and 1 case of male sexual organic maldevelopment. The other 31 couples were sexually ignorant, and are the focus of the paper. Characteristics of the patients: 1) husband and wife visited the department together; 2) both were sexually normal (organically); 3) both partners were healthy; 4) men and women were all 1st married; 5) most of then were in love with each other; only a few couples had gaps between themselves after being married for a few years; 6) they were all sexually active and tried for many times, but finished their sexual intercourse and spermatism outside the vagina in as few minutes. Of the 31 cases, the women's ages ranged from 22-32; 13 were between 22-25; 17 were between 26-30 and 1 was older than 30. The sample consisted of 15 technical workers including shop assistants, 4 farmers and 12 executives including technicians, teachers and doctors. The duration of counseling lasted from 2 days until 4 years, 8 cases resolved within 10 days, 11 cases between 10 and 30 days; 8 cases between 1 and 6 months and 3 cases for more than 6 months. Of the 31 cases only one woman had her hymen cut. The other 30 couples were taught sex education by concentrating on new marriages, sex knowledge, female genitalia, anatomy, direction of vagina and position during sexual intercourse. 2 of the 30 cases could not be visited and 28 of 30 cases could complete sexual intercourse satisfactorily (27 couples learned well within a week and 1 couple within 6 months).
