Sexuality in Morocco: Women sexologist’s point of view - 23/02/10
Summary |
After a brief overview of the religious and cultural aspects that underpin sexuality in Morocco, we look at various studies of sexuality for Moroccan women conducted by our team in past years. Studies in Casablanca, Morocco have investigated various aspects of sexuality in traditional Muslim society: sexual behavior, sexuality during “Ramadan”, sexual dysfunctions, sex-abuse of children, and the impact of menopause, pregnancy and mastectomy on sexuality. The following conclusions were reached: there are still overwhelming taboos in Moroccan society, information is lacking, the sexual practices and disorders are the same as in Western countries, and sex education focuses on the “hashouma” (a mixture of shame and interdicts), and on preserving one’s virginity.
