Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

The Washington Post just published a great write-up on Salaam, Love: American Muslim Men on Love, Sex & Intimacy! “So much has been said about Muslim men, we thought it was time for them to tell their own stories in their own words about what’s important to them,” the editors said. “Salaam, Love” seeks to counter stereotypes of Muslim men by offering stories of men who bare their emotions, admit mistakes, bask in memories of true love, recall heartbreaks, and...

Advice: On cleaning up after sex & dating with a disability

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:14 am By Posted by The Editors

Dear Love, InshAllah: I know this seems like a question everyone already seems to know, but both my wife and I ever really learned the etiquette of sex in terms of how to keep things clean (literally). What I mean is — is there a usual (or better, or sunnah) way to clean-up after relations? I don’t mean ghusl…but if one has relations with their spouse on the bed, how to keep the bed clean? I can’t believe that people... Read more

He had no shame. I think that made the situation worse. I asked him the question I have asked most brothers I am interested in. “Have you been in any relationships outside of your previous marriage?” He looked at me and nodded. Sadly, it didn’t surprise me because this seemed to be the reality for a majority of brothers my friends and I encountered. Brothers who acted a hot stakin’ mess… Sex before marriage, babies out of wedlock and not even... Read more
