Dr. Neha Mehta

There’s no particular age to get married. I always say, go for it when you feel prepared.

 People have less patience and poor emotional resilience , ego problems which leads to distorted marriages.

 Take time in decision and choose best for you, there’s no age bar to it.

1) There are some people who don't like them, as well others to talk on sexual things, have you faced such people. If yes, then how do you deal with them?

Yes, being a sex counselor, I meet so many clients who feel shy to express issues and seek help. Even the parents, stop kids taking help and share their sexual problems.

I always encourage them to talk on their needs and fantasies. Marriage is incomplete without sex and talking about what you like or hate on bed is absolutely necessary. 

Sexual awareness is my goal and I’m doing it through my YouTube channel, millennial of all ages coming forward and seeking help online.

2) Suggest any degree or course to become a psychologist.

The one who wishes to be a psychologist, should complete their masters in psychology from a recognized UGC university and then choose 1 year diploma course in their field of interest like: clinical, child, sexual, marital, military, special education, deaddiction, rehabilitation , forensics and so on

3) Mostly it is heard that if a girl marries the person from her relatives, then there is a problem with the kids. Is this true?

Yes, researches has shown that consanguineous marriage leads to DNA genetics disorders . In case, any couple is interested in interfamily marriages, genetic counseling is a good way to know issues in their babies prior.

4) Suggest any degree or course to become a sexual counsellor.

Interested graduates can join 6 months sex counseling internship programme under MY FIT BRAIN OR any experienced sexologist .

AASECT,SSTI etc. Most of the foreign universities provides diploma and certification courses.

5)Until the sex is not experienced there is kind of curiosity in everyone's mind due to which many sexual harassment are happening, what will you suggest to focus?

Knowing about sex is fine but, knowing whom to do with and how much is it important in my life. If sex is perceived as greed or something to hide, rapes will increase. If parents start giving sex education at young ages rapes can lower down.

6) Now-a-days many girls seeing actors, aren't marrying till 30. What is a good age to marry?

There’s no particular age to get married. I always say, go for it when you feel prepared. People have less patience and poor emotional resilience , ego problems which leads to distorted marriages. Take time in decision and choose best for you, there’s no age bar to it.
