So let me try to understand this story. A young man is shamed into non-sexuality until marriage, by then anxious and awkward. He experiences a surge of curiosity in the broader range of sexual responses, and his wife begins punishing him. Panicking over the added levels of shaming, and from real affection for her, he asks her to stay, but she leaves- to waves of applause from female friends happy a man got publicly lambasted.
