Do you have a sex problem?- The Times of India

I don't know what gave me the urge to look up the news in India right now, but I am glad I did. From the above article:

MUMBAI: On Sunday, Delhi's Javed Ali, suffering from a sexual disorder, finally discovered his manhood. He opened fire on his sexologist Rajesh Abbot. After four rounds, when the pistol jammed, he pulled out another one.

Of the 13 shots fired, seven hit Abbot, who died on the spot. Ali was upset that despite Abbot's promises, his performance in the bedroom had remained unchanged.

This extreme episode serves as a cold reminder to those in the difficult business of curing male problems.

I wonder if it is hard to get life insurance there if your profession is "quack sexologist." The article goes on to detail the typical quackery in this field:

The quack's ingenuity starts with what seems to be highly impressive diagnostic equipment. A patient is made to lie down and a red light is shone on his body from a hidden source.

Except that when it comes to the patient's private parts, the light is switched off with a remote control trick and the doctor gasps with practised shock.

The patient is then told that since the light did not work in that zone, he suffers from a grave disorder and that he needs a special course of treatment.

The patient is also asked baffling questions like, "Did you use a lot of hand as a child?" Since in 19 out of 20 cases the answer in yes, the patient instantly bonds with the quack and reposes his faith in the diagnosis.

Delhi resident Pradeep once entered a professed sexologist's clinic in Daryaganj. The 'doctor' sat behind a neat desk in a one-room clinic and on hearing about the problem, immediately ordered Pradeep to stop masturbating.

"You're wasting a nectar from heaven," he said.
