Catholicism vs. Islam re: sexuality - Peace in Ireland - 05-18-2004
I have a question regarding sexuality in Islam. I was raised Catholic (I have since defected to, I guess, an agnostic state) and taught that catholics believe that any form of contraception was a sin because sex was not to be enjoyed, but was to be used as a tool simply to create people. My question, is this also true in Islam? From what I gather, Catholicism and Islam both share a common ideology that sexuality is not to be expressed openly, but I was curious as to the extent to which Islam regulates human sexuality (eg., pre-marital sex, homosexual sex, incest, etc.) Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am not that knowledgeable but i will give you what i can.. insha allah...
In islam sexuality is not a taboo subject... in fact it is a blessing when a man and his wife has intercourse...
as for incest.. this is forbidden
homosexuality... this is forbidden...
contraception... i dont know but i think not because the prophet of islam used the <i>pull out method</i> when having sexual intercourse with his wife...maybe someone can correct me on this
in islam intercourse is not only a thing to procreate... but also to be enjoyed... muslim men and women are encouraged to satisfy their spouses sexually...
well this is as much as i can remember... i hope it was useful.

O long time no see Peace welcome back
naseeha Mash aAllah correct. One more point is that the pull out to be used with the approval of the wife.

Thank you Muslimah, I know, I tend to venture away from civilization for long periods of time. Anyway, thanks for the info. It seems that Islam's views on sex are more sane than the Catholic ones I learned as a child. While I do approve of homosexual sex, I think it's good that Islam embraces sexuality as a natural thing, and not a thing to be shunned.

I think the more clinical term is "early withdrawal method." Just wanted to feel involved.

What does Islam say about pre-marital sex? Is that alllowed or forbidden?

Premarital sex is a no-no. It can lead to a child out of wedlock for one which is not fair for that child. A family is quite important in the raising of children and to deny a person that right due to selfish desires is wrong. I can expound if necessary.
Peace

<i>asalamu elykum wr wb,</i>
in Muslim culture & societies pre-maritial OR extra-maritial r ALWAYS shunned & people react strongly against them...........that immoral person isn't given the 'same' respect in our society as a 'good' character person..........but what goes on inside can never b known sumtimes.......So Allah is the best judge
i personally think that making ur character 'good' if VERY important in ISlam........and in Islam 'Zina' (extra/pre maritial s%x) is the MAJOR sin !
