Many couples are unable to do successful vaginal intercourse after marriage due to various reasons. The cause may be in man or women. Each of these below mentioned causes for non-consummation of marriage are investigated & treated accordingly.

The male cause leading, to inability to vaginal penetration are as follows:

1. Erectile dysfunction: This is due to less penile hardness due to various reasons.

It may occur due to complete erectile failure: for example some men achieve no erection at all. For others, an erection may occur in the regular manner, but as the love play continues the erection is lost (we call it maintenance failure). For others, the erection may be maintained very adequately up to the point of entry. As soon as entry is attempted, the erection disappears (this is called entry failure). For some, erection may be maintained beyond the point of entry, and then wanes after a period of activity inside the vagina (this is called mid-act failure) No matter when the erection goes away. Its loss is always troublesome. Erectile dysfunctions though a benign disorder has a great impact on the affected individual. The patient feels frustrated, depressed, and ashamed.

2. Premature ejaculation:

Premature ejaculation (also known as early discharge or quick orgasm, early fall, Shigra- patan) is one of the important cause of non-consummation of marriage and is characterized by sudden ejaculation of the semen, just prior to or immediately after vaginal penetration during intercourse (before one wishes or before he could satisfy the female partner). Premature or 'before time' in other words, is a condition where the man has no voluntary control over his ejaculation. He is quick on the trigger once he starts the coitus. This is a very frustrating disorders of male sexual function in which man feels totally helpless. This leads to bitterness in husbands & wife relationships. For the man, lack of control of his body functioning leaves him feeling unsure of himself. His pleasure is often decreased by the abrupt early discharge. When a man is, feeling inadequate, and ejaculating fast, the woman will probably be left unsatisfied. This is an easily treatable condition.

**The various Female cause leading, to inability to vaginal penetration are as follows:

1. Vaginismus:

Vaginismus means Pain with spasm at time of penetration.In vaginismus involuntary painful contraction of vaginal entry muscles (te vaginal opening) is so painful that entry is virtually impossible. So that due to spasm of introitus muscles there occurs virtual closure of the vaginal opening with significant pain. Vaginismus is one of the significant female causes for inability of penis entry into the vaginal opening. Thus this is one of the common causes of for non-consummation of marriage.

In vaginismus pain felt by girl or female is so much that next time she starts avoiding the sexual contact of any kind because of fear that it will give her pain.

But the fore play, sexual desire, excitation & lubrication may be absolutely normal in vaginismus women. For details of diagnosis, it's causes & treatment of vaginismus refer vaginismus in female sexual problems
