Salam everyone!!! This week’s episode is really interesting where we’re going to be exploring all things sex and intimacy head on. We talk about a lot of the questions young Muslims have around the topic of sex and intimacy, (e.g. is it supposed to hurt?) most of which aren’t addressed in the Muslim community. We hope you enjoy and if you have any questions for Sameera, dm us on Instagram!! Sameera’s Instagram: @sexualhealthformuslims
