Islam has a long tradition of explicit sexual discussion – Mark Hay | Aeon Essays

Whenever we hear or see Muslims discussing sex and sexuality we often see or hear them being very strict and prudish. However, this has not always been the case. Whether it was discussing what was permissible, what was frowned upon but necessarily banned, and what was banned many (mostly male) Muslims throughout history had detailed discussions on certain sex acts and sexual representations. They drew on the science of the time, philosophy, and religious texts such as the Qu’ran and hadiths to give detailed discussions.

This wonderful essay gives light to how Muslims in history went from detailed discussions to more stricter ideas influenced by colonialism.
