Abdulaziz Aouragh is a Muslim who runs an online sex goods store.
"We don't sell products that only enhance the love life of men and women," he explained . ".
"All of our products have a deeper meaning for sex, sex and even spirituality.
Based in the Netherlands, El Asira offers products such as "sexy silicone" and "charm lotion.
All his products are halal.
"Most of our customers are women," he told me . ".
"It's too brave to be with a man.
"I see this pattern often repeating the fact that Muslim women lead male counterparts in discussions about sex and intimacy.
According to Islamic law, sex is limited between married people.
But when it comes to exactly what you can do and how sex is generally discussed, Islam itself is quite open.
Sex is for birth, of course, but also for happiness.
Muslim men need to increase their marriage games in the Arab world. Does Maria schlever know what American women want?

There are some stories about how women and men will approach Prophet Muhammad in the mosque, asking open questions about sex.
In a famous story, a woman came to see him on a wedding night complaining that her husband was busy praying and was not close to her.
The Prophet went to see his husband and warned him to focus too much on religious prayer and instructed him to pay more attention to his bride.
This openness has disappeared over time, and discussions about sex have become taboo.
Things are slowly changing, however.
UAE ad Lootah, a marriage consultant in the UAE, published an Arab sex guide, Top Secret: sexual guidance for married couples, about how to achieve sexual relations with a partner and
Her book was blessed by mufti, UAE.
But she was strongly criticized.
Wedad Lootah was engaged with a controversial book, and my current husband and I participated in a "previous
Marriage seminar, the first of its kind in the UK.
One day of training involves one hour of sex.
It's not very good, but still, I'm glad the topic was brought up and the taboo was broken.
Jenny, an Irish Muslim, organized a similar two-part seminar for young women only, the first about marriage and the second about intimacy.
"The girls don't know what should happen in their intimate lives," she explains . ".
"Men tell them to do X or Y and they don't know anything about it.
"Jenny understands that her seminar is unusual, but what she cares most about is that young women have received this kind of education and criticism is limited.
For this reason, she asked me not to quote her real name: "I reached out my neck.
"She will not be hosting sex education classes.
"We didn't tell them where we went! ” laughs Jenny.
"But these girls need to know their rights in the bedroom.
In the United States, Asra Nomani, a controversial Muslim activist, wrote a "Islamic rights act for women in bedrooms ".
"Safeguarding the right of women to be happy ".
Nomani said she received negative feedback on the bill.
But when I read it, I remember thinking that it was not the most controversial and new to Islam.
If there's anything that says how few Muslims are
Even vocal.
The United Nations knows about Islam.
Take a guilty attitude towards sex, or understand that Islam has always been very open to sexual happiness, especially for women.
However, it is undeniable that it is difficult to talk about sex, especially as a woman, so I am really worried about publishing this article.
But I will keep trying.
This is an issue that needs to be discussed openly, precisely in order to solve these contradictions.
There is a lack of research on the existing level of knowledge among Muslims.
How much do they know?
Where do they get knowledge from?
Perhaps the hardest thing to ask is: what is the reality of how they have sex? A new chick-
The upcoming IMAX novel in the UK is known as "no gender and City", featuring the Muslim heroine.
Last year in the United States, an anthology of true love-seeking stories written by Muslim women was happily published, titled "Love, God bless" (God willing).
Some of these narratives are explicit, telling about the sex inside and outside marriage.
While the book itself is very popular, its relatively vivid nature has caused positive feedback and criticism.
But what's more important about the two books is that Muslim women themselves are also trying to discuss the role of sex, sex in their identity, and their fears and desires.
For Muslims who want to live a pure life, the pressure is enormous.
As we all know, our environment is sexy.
Virgins are considered odd.
The rejection of "sexual liberation" is considered backward.
These challenges must be particularly difficult for young Muslims.
If, in a family, mosque, or other social environment, there is no proper teaching that meets the context, then taboos about sex are deeply rooted, resulting in reduced knowledge, and sexual happiness or even negativity.
So where should a young man be? or even old! )
Muslims turned to sexual teachings that they believed were in line with the Islamic view.
There are very few courses like Jenny runs.
It is also rare for people willing to discuss issues openly.
Even to begin such a discussion, what is needed is to face the fact that the way Muslims live is not necessarily the same as the Islamic ideal they desire.
A famous tradition of Islam about sexual pleasure teaches that when God creates desire, he divides it into ten parts.
He gave the woman nine parts and one for the man.
So when it comes to trying to better understand their sexuality and the relationship between their sexuality and their beliefs, it's no wonder women leave men behind.
