What is to be done to help a friend who is suffering from dissatisfaction with her sexual relationship with her husband, due to his haste in finishing and his disregard for her, and the infrequency of intercourse, which has led her to feel contempt towards him, and she has begun to suffer from obsessions and fantasies about relatives?
Sexual intercourse is a right of the wife over the husband, and it is among her most emphasized rights. The number of obligatory acts of intercourse is a matter of disagreement among scholars. Some say once every four months, while others say it depends on her need and the husband's ability.
The husband must ensure his wife's chastity and have intercourse with her whenever she needs it, while observing the etiquettes of intercourse, such as foreplay with the wife before intercourse. If the husband suffers from premature ejaculation, he should seek treatment or a method to delay it.
The spouses must communicate and be open about this matter. The wife should inform her husband about what pleases her, and she should lower her gaze from men other than her husband and avoid everything forbidden that arouses her desire. It is not permissible to belittle a Muslim.
