'dysfunction? this is where one can seek counsel perhaps' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'husband's left overwhelmed by penile' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'penile' is 'epline' which is present in the remaining letters.
'husband' could be 'h' and 'h' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
