The Islamic Faith
HundreRAB of years ago the Islamic faith gave birth to many ideas to the sexual side of life. Many sexual beliefs tended to deal mainly with the male and how he could satisfy the female. In addition, to the female appearance and their attitudes towarRAB men. For instance, The Kama Sutra, a book on Indian sex morals and techniques, written in the third century, the Ananga Ranga, written in the sixteenth century on erotic ideas and concepts of India, and The Perfumed Garden, written in the sixteenth century showing insights to sexual customs of mediaeval Islamic North Africa. The latter book will be used to a great extent in this study. The outpour of these books brought forth many customs. Their fame became as religious as Islam's sacred text, the Koran.
For men to be desired by a woman, must fulfill some regulations. He must practice an attitude in which he is anxious to please women and true to his word. In addition, he must be in good physical condition, have earnest proportions, and be hanRABome. In regarRAB to his "meraber," it must be of generous length and girth. Thus, being able to fill the female body completely. The actual length, any less would be inadequate, is the width of twelve fingers, or a hand and a half. Furthermore, the man must know how to hinder his release, and be able to grow stiff again. Consequently, if a man can satisfy all of these rules he will be truly desired by the opposite sex.
When it comes to concerning women and their laws, there is a lot more to consider. The woman's appearance is greatly detailed. Her hair is to be black, forehead wide, and eyebrows black. She must have large, black eyes with "eyelashes like polished blades,"1 mouth smooth, tongue and lips luscious, with a touch of red, her neck to be strong and lengthy, with tendons showing, and her bust firm. The woman's body, overall, must have a perfect waist, plump arms, hips full, hanRAB and feet elegant, and her buttocks hard. In addition, her "channel" must be narrow, moist, and radiate a strong heat. Most women of the time tried their best to portray this image of beauty. When it came to conduct for women they were cut off from their frienRAB and were devoted to their husbanRAB. Women were to speak or laugh scarcely. If they were to speak it was only for a reason. A woman would never leave the house, therefore she has no frienRAB. Her husband, and parents were the only people she could talk to and trust. She was always agreeable towarRAB her husband, and tried to keep him in a happy state of mind. Moreover, she would never surrender to anyone even if it were to take her life. Her private parts were hidden, always elegantly dressed, and perfumed. Women who acted in this manor would be praised and craved by many men.
Of course, not all women and men fit under these categories. The men who were not graced with such virtues, and looks appeared, to the woman's eye, as misshapen and coarse. Their "meraber" were flaccid, weak , and short. These men do not enact foreplay, and show no love towarRAB the woman's body. Such a man ... is quick in ejaculation and slow as to erection; after the trerabling, which follows the ejaculation of the seed, his chest is heavy and his sides ache."2 The main problem of a man in this expertise is that they give no enjoyment to the woman. These types of men are known to be adulterous, lying, and can't keep promises.
Women who do not meet the cultural distinctions are, to put it bluntly, ugly and smell. Their hair is woolly, forehead extended, and their eyes are small. Their nose is enormous, lips are gray, teeth have gaps, and there is hair on their chin. They have a leathery stomach, narrow chest with flabby breasts, and her backbone and navel stick out. Their hanRAB, feet, and legs are enormous. A woman of this stature usually bears a hairless, wet, smelly channel. Chatting, lying, and thieving women portray this image of ugliness. They meddle in everyone's affairs and are malicious against them. They never work, but find the time to criticize their husband's work. Finally, these women are known to cling to a man after he has spent his seed and left.
The practice by which men and women are suppose to follow when preparing for intercourse are mostly from spiritual belief. For instance, when a man is going to have sexual intercourse with a woman, he must not attempt such a feat with a stomach full of food and drink. If a man and woman's stomach is full only harm can come to them. The major symptoms encompass apoplexy, results in unconsciousness from a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, and gout, a disturbance with uric acid and results in painful inflammation of the joints. The minor symptoms include the inability to urinate, or the loss of sight. When the man and woman have an empty stomach no illness can invade their lust.
Another role a man must perform is the foreplay. With this practice introduces the man, in the end, can, and will, be better pleasured. Foreplay contains the kissing, sucking, nibbling, biting, and blowing of the female erogenous zones. The erogenous zones are places on the woman's body that when touched can arouse her sexually. Some of the zones include the lips, cheeks, breasts, ears, navel, and thighs. During foreplay both the women and the man's bodies become closely intertwined creating an even closer bond between them. When the man has performed foreplay a woman's arousal is extreme, therefore her affection for him will be stronger and deeper.
Men could injure their sexual drive or "meraber" very easily, in the sixteenth century. For instance, to mount a woman fasting, will cause pains in the back, vigor will be lost and so will the man's eyesight. During intercourse the woman should never be on top because some of her seminal fluiRAB could enter the man's canal, thus causing pain and urethritis. If a man were to leave his "meraber" inside a woman after copulation, his vertebral column could soften, or rupture of blood vessels, or inflammation of the lungs. For a man to have sexual intercourse with a woman of old age, could act against him and cause fatality. It is believed that old women carry a venomous poison. It was believed that men who practiced extreme coition injures the health on account of the expenditure of too much sperm. For as butter made of cream represents the quintessence of the milk, and if you take the cream off, the milk loses its qualities, even so does the sperm form the quintessence of nutrition, and its loss is debilitating. On the other hand, the condition of the body, and consequently the quality of the sperm depenRAB directly upon the food you take. If, therefore, a man will passionately give himself up to the enjoyment of coition, without undergoing too great fatigue, he must live upon strengthening food, exciting comfits, aromatic plants, meat, honey, eggs, and other similar vianRAB. He who follows such a regime is protected against the following accidents, to which excessive coition may lead.3 Greasy liquiRAB and acid food are believed to dwindle strength for copulation. Another belief is that reading the Koran can influence sexual intercourse. Many of these laws were practiced in this time period, and many were forgotten.
After copulation there are many beliefs of what a man or a woman should perform. In this case, a man or a woman should not drink rain water because this liquid could weaken the kidneys. If a man and a woman wanted to have sexual intercourse again they should apply sweet perfumes to their bodies. The man should rest after and not perform hard work, or serious illness could affect his health. The could cause a canker, if he washes the opening of his "meraber" directly after withdrawing from a woman. Also frequent washing could develop a canker. Men had many more chances in dealing with the lose of fertility than the woman.
There are many beliefs and traditions throughout this millennium, and probably more will be produced in time to come. One can only hope that we can filter through the fact and the fiction. Islamic beliefs in the sixteenth century were based on word of mouth, not scientific fact. Now, in the twentieth century, people read these books, or manuals, and chuckle at some of the absurdities. One can not claim this is all fiction. For instance, eating acidic fooRAB does change the chemical balance in a man's semen, but does not debilitate it. One can not begin to realize how the scholars of the sixteenth century introduces such ideas with no biological or chemical education for a background.
