NEW DELHI: A Muslim woman has written a first-of-its-kind sex guide specifically for Muslim women after anecdotal evidence suggested that many of them have little or no knowledge about how to enjoy sex.The book is called 'The Muslimah Sex Manual: A Halal Guide to Mind Blowing Sex'. It is written by Umm Muladhat - an alias - and is available for order on Amazon as of last week.On the book's Amazon page, Muladhat says the origin of the book can be traced to a conversation she had some years ago with a newly-married Muslim friend of hers."I could tell something was wrong," says Muladhat, about her conversation with the woman, who she says did not look happy, despite having been joyous at the time of her engagement and wedding."After some cajoling, she (Muladhat's friemd) shyly admitted the truth. Her sex life was horrible. In fact, it was fast becoming non-existent," recalls the author.Muladhat says that while many Muslim women understand the mechanics of sex and its anatomy, they "didn't know sex"."Oh, she knew the mechanics. Insert penis into vagina. Climax. Withdraw. But she didn't know how to make her husband yearn for her in bed. She didn't know what he liked. She didn't even know what she liked! They had begun eagerly but after a few weeks, realized that neither of them was truly enjoying having sex with each other," Muladhat says about her then newly-wedded friend.Muladhat, who had been married for a few years at the time of this conversation with her friend, says she gave her friend as much sex advice as she could, based on her own experience and based on what she had read from various sources."A month later, I saw her again. This time she had a gigantic smile on her face. 'Please, write this down and share it with other Muslim girls. No one teaches this. We're thrown into marriage and only know the fiqh and the biology,' "her friend said to her.Muladhat did just that. She wrote everything down on a Word document and mailed it to her friend, who then shared it with other newly-married friends."Before long, word trickled back to me that people were asking me to write a book on the subject," say Muladhat about the origins of her recently released book.Going by the chapters list on Amazon, the book is indeed detailed. It includes chapters on, among other things, 'Sexual Positions', 'Shower Sex', 'What to say during sex' and even 'BDSM', which stands for 'Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism'.Muladhat told British newspaper The Guardian why she chose to remain anonymous. It was partly for fear of a backlash but also because she didn't want to be known in her tight-knit community as the "sex book aunty"."I've received encouraging feedback, but also a significant number of demeaning and disgusting messages," said Muladhat to The Guardian."One woman said it's not needed, they learn everything from their mothers. I doubt any mother speaks in as explicit detail as I have," the newly-minted author adds.
