My sex education consisted of: Don't have sex before marriage otherwise you're a whore, and when you don't bleed on your wedding night a man will divorce you. I like being Muslim. I think it's great. But for the longest time reconciling my faith with my sexuality was incredibly difficult. I didn't know anything about consent, pleasure or what a healthy relationship looked like and I got myself into some crappy situations that I could have avoided had I been smarter. Muslim sex ed isn't about bringing a shock factor to the Muslim community or being explicit. Its about empowering Muslims emotionally and spiritually to have healthy attitudes towards sex and relationships. When I got into haram relationships I struggled to get support because what I did was sinful. I wasn't entitled to any sympathy because I chose to go into haram. The layer of shame and guilt is traumatising and I want to change that. For people who don't think sex ed is necessary, guess what, Muslims are having sex. They're exposed to sex everyday. And if the education isn't coming from us then it's coming from the wrong people. I want to talk openly about what I wish I knew and what every Muslim woman should know about sex. Starting off with sex education is necessary. #intimacy #healing #emotionalwellbeing #muslimgirl #muslimsexed #muslimsex #sexed #relationships #healthyrelationships #communication #islam #muslim #muslimrelationships #curfew #muslimstruggles #muslimmemes #hijab #hijabi #doublestandards #harampolice https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lIhcclLL4/?igshid=nvfzkdtevr50
