I always get Muslims who tell me that what I am doing/teaching is haram. This is before they even know WHAT I actually do. There is an assumption that if sex is involved, it must be out of bounds. Wrong. Sex is a part of life. Islam makes ample room for these discussions.
Honestly, I call myself ThatBlackMuslimSexLady because that's how folks in the community remember me. But what I actually talk about goes so much 'deeper' than instructions on how to have effective penetrative vaginal sex.
Ask a woman who has been to a retreat or a workshop. We talk about emotional wellness, reproductive health, femininity, fiqh issues...we go there. Sex is just one of the topics. It's an important one but certainly not the solitary focus.
I have no shame when it comes to informing women about their sexual rights in Islam and how to fulfill them within the confines of a halal relationship. I have very frank conversations. I have spent 18 years as a public health professional. Very little shocks me.
It disturbs me that there are so many Muslim women, married and single, who have no idea that they even have rights when it comes to intimacy. Sisters are involuntary forfeiting halal pathways to pleasure. And we allow it because the powers-that-be benefit from the lack of info.
