However, if we talk about our Indian society, sex itself is a taboo, but the couple sex stories are always on the list of topics people are looking forward to read about. But changing times mean that the mindset of the people is also changing and so is the concept of a close relationship between married couples.
It wasn’t so long ago that even talking about husband and wife having sex was a source of whispers. Today, thanks to digital media and the internet, people are freer to express their wants and put words to their sexual encounters.
Pati patni ki chudai ke kahaniyan (husband wife kahani in Hindi) have taken the world by storm not just in books but also in web series, movies and blogs. These stories tell the tale of a married couple and their sexual escapades as they discover eachother’s desires.
But why do these stories sound so attractive and interesting to the audience? It could be because of the relatability factor. Sex life between a married couple also goes through a phase where it becomes dry and unexciting. Reading or watching such stories is like a beam of hope for them that shows them the way to rekindle the love and intimacy in the relationship.
In addition, breaking societies stereotype of sex. And that women are meant to be submissive and passive in the bedroom. These women are portrayed as equally participating in and as aggressors in sexual activity. This subverts the patriarchal mindset and fosters a more progressive and egalitarian attitude towards sex.
Also, the importance of communication and consent is a key part of these stories. What we see in the majority of these narratives is the pair openly communicating their wants and limits, and not only this raises the intensity of their sexual lives but is also an excellent way to forge a closer bond with your partner. It gives a good message that sex is beyond the physical realm and consists of mutual respect and understanding.
But, these stories have its share of negative impact too as they promote unrealistic expectations and encourages objectification of women. Please note these are fictional narratives and do not reflect real-life relationships. Additionally, one must respect the wishes and consent of their partner — do not expect someone to be like the things you read about in these stories.
That being said, pati patni ki chudai ke kahaniyan might be an escape for a couple of minutes turning that mundane ground reality tableau into rifles of raw sin but a time to get back to reality is just around the corner. These stories are not a guidebook for one’s own sexual life; they should be viewed as inspiration. So with a modern attitude to sex, husband and wife can spin out their own passionate love stories — and filled with more beauty and satisfaction than anything my fiction author or her realistic alter ego can imagine.
