Islamic Perspectives on Sexual Intimacy

Zaiba & Uzma learn how prophetic sexual tradition is really female-centric. Saba explains the effects of Eurocentric and colonial influences on Islamic sexual beliefs and practices. Normalizing sex again, and normalizing our need to be fulfilled, especially in this aspect of our God-given nature, is our right and we need to learn to exercise. We also need to teach that to our kids, who are often wondering about orgasm, masturbation, and other sexual practices we were taught as “deviant,” but it turns out, we were taught wrong. 

Come breathe a sigh of relief with us today, and then later when you practice what you’ve learned!
