June Walker fidgeted nervously in her seat while waiting for
Dr. Sherman. “How did she get herself into these things?!?” she
asked under her breath while staring at the sweeping second hand of
the clock on the wall. She was lost in thought when she was ripped
back to reality when the door to the office burst open and Dr. Wendy
Sherman swept into the room! “Hello,” the doctor said with wide
smile, “I’m Dr. Sherman and you must be June!” Dr. Sherman’s easy
manner quickly put June at ease. She returned the smile and replied,
“I’m glad to meet you, doctor.” Wendy Sherman donned a pair of wire
rimmed glasses and scanned the first several pages of June’s file.
“It says here that your divorced,” Wendy said. “Did that have
anything to do with your condition?” June lowered her eyes and with
head bowed replied, “I’m afraid so, doctor, Tom just couldn’t take it
any more, and who could blame him!” “Were you able to have regular
sex with him?” Wendy asked. “I guess it depends on your definition
of regular,” June answered slowly. “Of course I wanted it every
morning and night, but with his job and all.......” June’s voice
trailed off wistfully as tears began running down her cheeks. She
really loved Tom, but her insatiable appetite for sex was just too
much for him, and after only three years of marriage he moved out of
the apartment and filed for divorce. “Take it easy,” the doctor said
quietly while sliding a box of tissues to the other side of the table,
“it not your fault, you have a sickness, and we’re going to try and do
something about it!”
