You have explained sexuality and its significance very well from various prespective. Our ancient history, traditional value, society and religion, all have accepted our sexuality as integral part of our daily life. I would respectfully differ to your ref. about the selfishness in sex of Indian males. Grievances of women in this regard is global. Women of every walk of life has complained about the selfishness of male when it comes to their (women’s)sexual satisfaction . All along the history of mankind man has always thought of his on (sexual)desires and fulfillment. To your complain that Islam has influenced our thought process, I tend to believe on the contrary. Our regional traditions and ancient practices have more to do in suppressing the woman’s sexual needs. My sister was never allowed to marry when she became a widow at the age of 32. My family is known to be an educated one. Thank god she was not pushed into the fire.. ] I have some very good Muslim friends of mine and believe me Islam has more answers to woman’s problems than any other religion. There value system revolves around women and family. Now the million dollar question: the dilemma of a sexually unsatisfied wife. What are her rights? I would like to request to all religious gurus to check on this. Does our religion has given any right to a women who is left unsatisfied by her husband? Society after all is the product of practicing masses. Finally the issue of Girija Chetathi who was the victim of her family situation and perhaps a sexually weak husband compared to Girija’s sexual apatite. Muthu has exploited the situation as several other men has done all along. Girija’s enraged desires for big kunna of Muthu mad her commit a very silly act of doing whatever she did purposely. Had Muthu been an educated person that could have made Girija’s life a little bit easier. Because in my opinion education plays a vital role in terms of how a person behaves. Muthy could be more respectful to Girija then. No matter however much we keep this subject alive, at the end of the day it is the woman who carries the burden.
