Free consensual sexuality is repressed almost everywhere in the world. Artists, through their pens and paint brushes poke fun at this repression. And they offer joyful juicy alternatives! Our effort here is to put the art of making love back in its rightful place as one of the most wondrous and pleasurable of human activities. Sensual art and literature can help to educate us as it shows others from every time and place in history who have dared to shake off the puritan shackles that suffocates so many cultures and religions. Even the stern puritan Islamic countries of today were not always that way. Sexual pleasure especially for a Muslim woman was not automatically considered such a sin. Perhaps if enough Muslims realise that there were once more sensual interpretations of Islam then they might make some changes to allow more freedom for their women to experience sensual pleasure. Knowledge after all is power. It can empower people to make wondrous changes in society. |
