Lust

Sexual urges, arousal, sexual stimulation, ejaculation, orgasm, animality, lust. These are words that are not so easy to say in polite society or in front of children. How did this come about? In Genesis we read about Adam and Eve realizing they were naked and feeling ashamed. Is this how it really happened? To be suddenly aware of nudity and feeling embarrassed? Did Adam and Eve have sex before they were banished from Eden? Why is there such a big fuss about animality like it was a bad thing? Are we not animals? Are we not descended from animals? In this sense we could count animals as our ancestors. Is the act of coition an unnatural act contrary to God's Law? What is God's Law? Did He not create sexual reproduction as an efficient way of populating His Creation?

How did this concept of sexuality as being perverse originate? In some primitive cultures female enjoyment of the sexual act is taboo resulting in the practice of sexual mutilation where the clitoris is cut off to remove the tissue most responsible for female pleasure. This primitive and brutal practice is still being enforced today and who knows what natural laws are violated as a result of this.Why is the sexual act which might be a direct method of communication between humans relegated to the back alleys of society and any depiction in words or pictures labeled as smutty or pornographic.

Islam has a more rational view of sexuality; recognizing the great power that the sexual instinct exerts on human beings, it allows a man to take four wives legally and add to that a simple way to divorce any wife.
