Re: Wasting away our sexual prime.
Catty,
I know feminism fights for parity between men and women, which is all hunky-dory. But please refrain from lumping men and women in the same pot when talking about sexual libido and abstinence from premarital sex. You have no idea what we men go through. It's like the Hoover dam getting ready to overflow. I dont know why Islam only recommends nafl fasting to curb that desire, which to me is nothing but a dilatory tactic -- the dam bursts, either voluntarily or involuntarily-- believe me, and those men who say otherwise (99%) are conditioned liars.:D
The other option that Islam gives you is to get married ASAP. When a man marries, he completes half his deen -- now i know why. The more we emulate the western society, where marriage as an institution is falling apart, the more we will have issues like these popping out of the woodwork.
Yet, our parents are so hell-bent on putting marriage of kids on a back-burner and prioritizing their education (they had their fun didnt they now:) ), that very soon, frustrated, we will start co-habiting with members of the opposite sex. Could someone tell me who started this "cant get married before education and job" school of thought? That guy should be dragged out in the town sqaure and impaled by a wooden phallus.
