Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
Good for you guys! I for one believe it shows good morals and modesty to not look at nudity.
I mean little stuff you can just ignore. Not only is it Islamically a bad thing to do, it's also awkward for you to sit there and watch another couple at it with your spouse.
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
I went with my friends to watch a movie once. My friend's date showed up, i was like WTH? why is he here and she told me something i don't remember, it was a few years ago lol
Anyway, we decided from the posters we should just watch The Girl Next Door. We did not know what the movie was about, we just decided to watch it. We went inside, the girl sat with her date and i sat with other friend just to give them privacy :p Turned out the movie was about a porn star and there were some awkward scenes.
Later, after having finished the movie and her date left, we asked her about the movie and she was like i was SO embarrassed!! This has to be the most awkward and embarrassing first date EVER LOLLLLLL anyway we had a good laugh abotu it
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
* In case your question was also directed to Muslims. * Muslims are not allowed by Allah (swt) to have a level other than an Islamic level. A Muslim doesn't twists his opinion for the comfort of everyone. HE should be comfortable with what Allah (swt) is comfortable with, that is not to watch what is forbidden, no matter if one is alone or with one's spouse.
Muslims can't become non-Muslims for few minutes, have their personal comfortable opinion, and then back to Muslim lifestyle. My personal opinion (against Allah's opinion) isn't allowed once I say Kalima. (Not even in a general discussion, not even in a joke).
I might have said many wrong things. In that case, may Allah (swt) forgive me. Allah (swt) knows Best!
Sigh. Wow. Okay, thank you oh-so much. I feel uber-enlightened.

Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
A good human being would never like for others what s/he dislikes for himself/herself. No one among us would like to be watched during those private moments with ones' spouse. If those people in the video have overcomed their self respect and haya, then at least Allah (swt) has blessed us with some intigrity. Isn't that woman not someone's daughter or sister ?! If Allah forbid, our sister, mother, daughter or wife goes astray and commits such a sin, would you want any stranger to watch her with someone in a video ? Shouldn't we be different from animals ?
May Allah (swt) guide us all
.... Ummm we are not watching shower and dorm cams but movie actors who obviously had no privacy issues to do this for money.
May Allah (swt) guide your aqal.

Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
Exactly
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
So, desi couples are supposed to enjoy sexual intercourse?
Nah I smell a neoliberal extremist.
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
Seriously is this a real question????
OP must be an unmarried and confused teenager!!!
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
So what is it?
awkward awkward like that german robot on South Park or time to do hanky panky ourselves? :khums:
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
quit watching movies....watch documentaries and news
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
^ watch news first so you have your sleep gone away and your nerves stressed and your depression in the full swing. Then watch a documentary. Good sleep, no pillow talk, and no fights :@ safe and healthy life.

If you read my post again I mentioned** "If those people in the video have overcomed their self respect and haya, then at least Allah (swt) has blessed us with some intigrity." **So I was actually talking about movie actors.
Even If movie actors do it for money and have no privacy issues, still it doen't justify our (muslims) watching them doing those acts. The Rule of Allah (swt) doesn't change* for our self respect*, when someones else loses his.

Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
Being a little uncomfortable or awkward is different from saying you "couldn't watch stuff."
I'm assuming the couple would not watch something entirely because of the sex scenes.
For example I think the Sopranos and Rome and great shows but have a fair amount of sex scenes but if someone is uncomfortable with that then would they watch it?
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
I started a threat similar to this a while ago, we're so concerned with sexual content but what about violence?
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
Violence happens in jihad but where does sex fit in ?

Sometimes there are little things that make moments awkward but don't really bother you. Why wouldn't you watch it?
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
I think its about 'haya' of the eys..its about modesty..why watch someone else naked be it in a movie, at the beach or somewhere else.
We just forward the sex scenes when they occur in a movie...
Re: Watching movies as a couple w/ explicit/sexual content?
WE eitheforward it, or change channel.....but we do tend to start laughing first
