Sexuality is experienced and expressed in thoughts ,fantasies , desires, beliefs, attitudes , values, behaviours , e.t.c While sexuality can include all of these dimensions not all of them are always experienced or expressed

In Islam there is a prioritisation on the quality of life rather than a large quan- tity of lives. • Planned spacing of pregnancies will allow the mother the time and opportunity to suckle and care for each child. The Qu’ran recommends that a mother should suckle her child for two years. • Undernourished and weak ofspring are more a source of anxiety and struggle than the ‘comfort’ or ‘allurement’ of the parent’s eyes as the Qu’ran intends. • In Muslim countries that are underdeveloped, have limited resources and are overpopulated, an absence of family planning will result in a weak multitude enduring more hardships, instead of a smaller but stronger and healthier population. • Contemporary contraceptive methods that temporarily avert pregnancy are analogous to the Islamically sanctioned practice of coitus interruptus (azl) and are thus permissible. • Sterilisation or any type of contraceptive that would cause permanent infertility are impermissible unless there are exceptional reasons. • People should not be coerced to stop childbearing.

Human sexuality is a highly complex phenomenon that involves the ways we feel, think, and act (or not) sexually, all subject to change over time in relation to our physical bodies as they age, and to the political economy and culture in which we live and relate to others. Nature (genetics, hormones, physical endowments) interacts with nurture (childhood socialization, culture, law) in ways that are not predictable and indeed often only rudimentarily understood. Scholars thus often prefer the term “sexualities” to reflect the contingent and changeable plurality of human sexual behavior, and the ways in which sex is conceived in relation to the wider worlds, seen and unseen. Yet in Africa, political and religious leaders frequently assert or imply that “African sexuality,” as distinct from “Western sexuality” or “Arab sexuality,” exists as a distinctive, timeless, and singular phenomenon, often in ways that promote harmful stereotypes. “Homosexuality is un-African,” to give one notorious example, is a widely made claim that has been made to justify vigilantism and state repression against sexual minorities throughout the continent. Certain features of Africa’s modern political economy, in conjunction with inherited gender, ethnic, and other aspects of culture and identity, have meanwhile facilitated the emergence of seemingly distinctive expressions of sexuality on the continent, or among specific peoples from regions within. For instance, high levels of male migration together with low levels of male circumcision and a long-standing culture of having multiple concurrent sexual partners have combined to abet the spread of HIV in southern Africa to a far greater extent than elsewhere, particularly in contrast to Muslim-majority regions. Such distinctions bear important social, health, and human rights implications. The study of how local or regional sexual cultures within Africa arose can thus potentially address harms, like HIV transmission, that are linked to stigma, stereotypes, secrecy, and shame around sexuality.

Did You Know ?

In African Culture The planting of crops: the belief is that when the rains start, before a couple can proceed with planting they must have sex. When a child is born: it is believed that the husband must have sex with the mother of the child before he can have sex with any of her co-wives, otherwise no more children will be born to that woman. When a husband dies: the widow must be cleansed sexually before she can be ‘inherited’. In the case of a son or daughter geting married: the parents are expected to have sex a night before or on the day of the marriage. When a home has been constructed: before it can be occupied, the husband is supposed to have sex with his wife in the house.
