Iran vs. US Sex education

Recently, reading a few articles about Sex education in the US (e.g., here), we got so depressed that we decided to see what they're doing about this taboo topic in Iran. Not very surprisingly, it seems that their Sex education is more advanced than what's going on in many parts of the US (see detailed tables of teen pregnancy here).

Sex and sexuality in Islam

This is an interesting article, although from a rather bias source (islam-watch). Most of the points it makes are factual, but are interpreted in a negative light. It is worth a read, as long as you take it with a grain of salt.
Handling of sex by a society reflects its level and maturity. At times Islamic aspect of human sexuality overlaps with" Status of Women," but the two are not the same. Compared to other social/religious systems of the world, Islam gives sex and sexual "purity" an extraordinary importance with inherent contradictions/conflicts so much so that we may safely say that Islam is over-obsessed, oversensitive and over-apprehensive about sex.

This essay is an attempt to expose the hypocrisy, double standard, unfairness, absurdity and sheer irrationality of Islam when it comes to sex. It also examines the barbaric rules that Islam inflicts on innocent people for having a simple sexually satisfying relationship whether one is married or not that Islam unjustly and illogically construes as 'haram.' One must not forget however how crucial sex is in our life. In the first place, without sex, none of us will be in this world for sure. Darwinian evolution would have stopped eons ago! So think about it for a moment.

Dubai - Sex on the beach might end in prison


Two Brits are facing up to six years in prison after having sex on a beach in Dubai. As expected, the story also involves large amounts of alcohol. I guess the real problem is the weather... Dubai in July... you can really lose your mind.
