In this classic work, Abdelwahab Bouhdiba asserts that Islam is a
lyrical view of life in which sexuality enjoys a privileged status.
Drawing on both Arabic and Western sources and seeking to integrate
the religious and the sexual, Bouhdiba describes the place of
sexuality in the traditional Islamic view of the world and examines
whether a harmony of sexuality and religious faith is achieved in
practice. Beginning with the Quran, Bouhdiba confronts the question
of male supremacy in Islam and the strict separation of the
masculine and the feminine. He considers purification practices;
Islamic attitudes towards homosexuality, concubinage and legal
marriage; and sexual taboos laid down by the Quran. Bouhdiba
assesses contemporary sexual practice, including eroticism,
misogyny and mysticism, and concludes that the ideal Islamic model
of sexuality has been debased.
