Manage episode 462968267 series 3565222
In this episode, we’re joined by Habeeb Akande, a sex educator and Muslim erotologist, to challenge outdated views on intimacy in Islam. He’s here to remind us of the true Islamic teachings on relationships. Think consent, mutual respect, and yes, female pleasure, and how cultural norms and misinformation have twisted our understanding of intimacy.
We also dive into how to read religious teachings the right way, without getting stuck in outdated, stuffy views. Plus, we tackle real-life topics like STIs and porn addiction. Tune in for a fresh take on sex and pleasure.
Habeeb is the founder of Erotology Institute For Sacred Pleasur and the author of many books. Find him on his website , on Amazon, and on Instagram
