son or daughter

Dear sir,

i want to ask just a question that how it is possible that we have daughters and we want a son.

I think people still needs time to accept this Therapy for health sex. Sometimes, educational books on sex is more useful nowadays.

Call me "ill-informed" if you want----but you're peddling therapy. I've been happily married (once only) for 36 years.

Sex is not a problem for us. And, yes, we actually did read Dr. Wheat's book together decades ago. (And, no, I'm not Dr. Wheat myself nor a seller of his book.)

If you need a third party, fine, get one. If you hold hands a lot, speak kindly to each other, play in the kitchen, STAY AWAY FROM PORN, and try gentle sex techniques taught to yourselves in the privacy of your own home (yes, from a book), you probably won't need either a therapist or a shrink.

RE: The idea that reading a book is easier and cheaper

Sarah Baldauf, article author:

While books to address sexual concerns may be helpful and shouldn't be overlooked, I take issue with the statement that reading a book is "easier" than seeking therapy. Both books and therapy can be valuable but they should not be seen as interchangable tools. Mending problems in a relationship, sexual or otherwise, undoubtedly requires effort. It seems unrealistic and ill-informed to argue there's a cheaper, easier way to make the fix.

A book is easier and cheaper than a therapist. "Intended for Pleasure" by Dr. Ed Wheat, M.D. (and his wife Gaye) is truly excellent. It's been released several times, is written for Christians and is FAR MORE frank and explicit than most would imagine. Read it together.
