Comment on Muslims Talking Sex: “Using Marriage to Bring Sexy Back” by Tipu

It’s important to keep in mind that sex should stay within a marriage. It is not right for unmarried people to have sex. Read the Qur’an and you’ll understand more about sexuality in Islam. Too many people with Masters and PhD degrees intellectualize sex and want the perfect person to marry & be able to do it with. Stop looking for Mr. or Ms. Perfect. You’re not going to find such a person. Think about marriage, the earlier the better. Then sex can be a beautiful and normal part of marriage. I think married couples should have sex at least twice a week.

Good comment.
The virgin/whore complex at its worst depth.
What you addressed above is an issue that is being manifested EVERYWHERE, across many different Muslim societies.
But if women choose to discuss it or raise their concerns about this, there will immediately be some knee jerk male backlash, as if this is some kind of competition or a war of words.
It’s a real problem and it affects everyone negatively in the long run.

I think it’s quite normal to dwell on sex when you’re not having any. Before I got married sex was ‘the thing’, now it’s just ‘one of those things’.
