The Art of Virgin Conception

Lets talk about sex. Or rather, lets talk about the lack of sex. In Pakistan, on the face of it, no body has sex. Yet somehow, our birth rate is increasing with no end in sight.

Polite society ladies would rather die than admit they ever did the deed. Hell, women with six kids have a hard time admitting their kids were not born a la Jesus mode.

No no no, we are good pious people. Why would we want to have sex? On a couple of websites focused on issues faced by newly married Muslim couples, you come across questions such as:
- My husband has a sheet between myself and him during intercourse. He says removing this sheet is not allowed. Is he right?
- Can I touch my wife's breasts during sex?

I remember one lady, my mother's friend, proclaiming that her husband had never seen her hair - this after having two kids who I assume can truthfully claim that their legal father is also their biological father:)

What gives, people? Why are we so hesitant in talking about this wonderful gift of God which fosters love between husband and wife? This denial of sexual activity leads to all sorts of deviancies and criminal impulses in society - which cannot be good. What is denied to people legally, people will attain illegally.
