Question:
My fiance and I have been together for over 3 years. Although we have not had intercourse we do enjoy a healthy sexual life. However, my fiance becomes aroused quite easily. He is 24 years old and has never experienced this before. He claims that I am the reason for his desire and he becomes physically aroused over the simplest of things ie, bending over, hugging, walking.
This is becoming a huge stumbling block in our relationship because he also becomes disappointed and somewhat even angry because I reject his attempts at sexual activity.
Any suggestions of how he could repress his desires? Is this a purely physical issue or could there be underlying psychological issues as well? What should my part be in this whole mess?

Sexual desire is a normal human instinct and is not related to physical and psychological disorders. It is considered pathological only if it leads to inappropriate, aggressive or socially unacceptable sexual behavior. The physical attraction your fiancée is expressing towards you is not unhealthy but he might not be aware that this is upsetting you and straining your relationship.
You need to discuss your values with your fiancée and ask him to respect your concerns. Although his sexual desire is normal, he has to respect your wish to delay sexual intercourse.
