advice needed (tanya)

[vtyekkirala]

Hi,
You may examine manc (its MM is appended below) and lil-t
which should be helpful in this sort of situation of sex
vs religion. In addition your patient may be adviced to do confrontation
of the very thought in all its aspects instead of trying to avoid it and
thus make a monster of it. A shower with cool water as cool as he can
bear it before retiring to bed and avoidance of pungent and spicy food
esply onions and garlic and adhering to a bland diet preferably
vegeterian will also be helpful.
with best wishes,
V.T.Yekkirala.

I think this case shows the difficulty of knowing another person's
mental state as well as the problem of cross-cultural understanding. I
would translate this man's unease about his sexual dreams into the
rubric "Mind, anxiety, conscience of". A rubric like this is perhaps a
lead to the proper remedy but not enough to prescribe on in itself.
I definitely don't see Lilium Tigrinum in what's preseneted here. What's
unusual is not this man's sexual dreams, which are quite normal, but his
excessive worrying about them and his scrupulosity (is that a word?) of
conscience.
