October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it always reminds me of Rukia. She came to the Sexology Clinic two years ago seeking treatment for what she called an abominable and ungodly act. She was 59 and had been happily married for 38 years. She had enjoyed a satisfying intimacy life with her husband, Daniel, throughout. But she blamed him for suckling her breasts during intimacy, which her friends had told her was culturally unacceptable and could have serious consequences.
“I warned my husband to stop sucking my breasts, but he would never listen. Now my nipples have started discharging blood and my breast has developed a wound that will not heal,” she said, avoiding eye contact, her gaze fixed on the horizon.
