Wael El-Manzalawy Wrote:Tom: Do you love sex?From having pets most of my life... i recognize that it is impossible to consider all of the pets a person keeps equally. A person will inevitably grow more attached to a few of them, and less attached to others. And that's just pets... how could a person possibly treat such a complex thing as another person as the equal of three other people as close as lovers?
Wael: I love sex of course. I am a human being. I have my instincts and feelings. Sex is a pleasure and sex is the way to get children. But I am Muslim. Sex is not allowed outside marriage. I am allowed to marry four women provided that I treat them equally. If I am afraid that I will not treat them equally, I must marry one woman only.
More important, in the Dayafter, we will have many amazingly beautiful wives. The Paradise is not only a spiritual Paradise, but the materialistic pleasures are innumerable there. We will enjoy delicious food, drinks, sex....etc
Are women not allowed to marry four men, provided they treat them 'equally'? What do beautiful wives matter (it says nothing of the wife's non-aesthetics)? The 'spiritual' is a spacial quality as you consider it?
Quote:Tom: Why don't a woman marry four men?Who cares? But this has already been answered by others, there is little to add to their points.
Wael: If she has a child, who will be the father?
Quote:Tom: In the Paradise, a man will have many wives, but a woman will have only one husband.Grief, depression, and 'bad feelings' are a part of who we are... it would be terrible to live without them. In any case... why should a woman not want to have several men if 'a man will have the sexual power of a hundred men'...? And what is 'sexual power' to begin with?
Wael: A man will have the sexual power of hundred men. Thus a woman will amazingly enjoy sex.Besides, a woman will not hate other wives because in the Paradise, there is no grief, no depression, no bad feelings.
'Thus a woman will amazingly(?) enjoy sex'? What do you mean by that?

Wael: In western countries, if you love a woman and have sex with her, you are lovers. You are not married, but if you have sex with another woman, you will be considered unfaithful. In Islam, if you have sex with a woman other than your wife, you are unfaithful and it is forbidden.
I fail to see the point behind the last quote...??? Perhaps you can explain what point you mean to make?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
