Why is sex taboo in Somali communities?

[Tukraq]

My husband & i have sex with the lights out. Out of sight, out of mind

lights off kulaha, couldn't be me, I'm tryna go hub mode

What baffles me is Somali women who don’t wanna announce their pregnancy cause they don’t wanna get their hopes up in case they miscarried

No, that is a good practice waraa. Protecting yourself from envy eyes. & hassad

My dugsi quran macalin once had sex education session
macalin: Adeeryaal segsku ceeb maha wa halal (if you are married)
we acted confused first then
Most of the niggas there started making dua

Wtf! Niggas making dua.. dayum!
Is that khushuuc? Lmaooo

 

[Dalmoor]

There’s another contradiction

Aroos laguma raago lagamana raago

Somalis always arrive late to weddings

I think it doesn't mean being late to the wedding only... I think it also can mean that those who are unmarried...


If it means that one, then there was a saying/quote that stated sumn like this and we can refer to it

"Somaali been kuma mahmaado, run na kuma camal falaan" so yeah

Even announcing your pregnancy is a taboo and not celebrated.


A woman once told me. Women shouldn’t announce their pregnancies because it means they had sex with their husbands?


@Knowles @sophisticate @CaliSomali how can we cure this phobia in our community?

Sex is defo not taboo

Maybe you're thinking of pre marital sex

Somali parents usually want you to f*ck as much as much as possible after your married. They want many grandkids :siilaanyosmile:

I was told that most Somalis do in the dark and if the wife makes any noises of satisfaction, it will be considered un-Somali. Eeddo ma run baa?

You mean why are they obsessed with it. Have you ever heard that you have to look stonefaced somber on your wedding night so people don't think you are too happy looking forward to the night

 

[Abdalla]

A bride dancing on her wedding is ceeb. It is indication that she is looking forward to the D

It's a good thing if you compare this to the new generation that have lost all sense of modesty and shame.

People naturally gravitate to either ends of the extremes because they are not mature enough to take a balanced middle path.

Knowing this, the tradition of shame/modesty in our older generation is far more superior then the filth that we have today.

Hayaa (shame/modesty) is part of iman and a lack of this illustrates a lack of iman, and whoever is into this kind of thing or attracted by it obviously lacks it too.
