From Malaysia…
An "Obedient Wife Club" known in Malaysia for its controversial views has published a book urging men in polygamous Muslim marriages to have group sex with their wives, a report said Friday.
I think very few men would need to be told twice.
The club, formed earlier this year, has made headlines with its radical suggestions on sex and marriage in conservative, Muslim-majority Malaysia.
They include earlier calling on women to be "whores in bed" to prevent their men from straying and pursuing divorce.
Some people cheat and divorce regardless.
In a 115-page book titled "Islamic Sex, Fighting Jews to Return Islamic Sex to the World," the group calls on Muslim husbands to have sex with all their wives simultaneously, The Star daily reported.
What’s with hating Jews? And what is “Islamic” sex?
One chapter, "How Sex Becomes Worship," contains unusually explicit sexual descriptions for a Malaysian publication, such as a tutorial on breast-fondling.
AFP was unable to immediately obtain a copy of the reported book, published by Global Ikhwan, the Malaysian Islamic group that formed the wives' club.
I’m sure the AFP will obtain a copy if they haven’t already. It is important for… research.
Global Ikhwan first shot to prominence in 2009 when it formed the equally controversial "Polygamy Club".
Global Ikhwan member Maznah Taufik told AFP the book was exclusively for wives' club members and declined to comment further.
Wait, is this like a Columbia Record Club?
The Star said Jamil Khir Baharom, Malaysia's minister in charge of Islamic affairs, has promised to investigate the book's contents.
Oh, I’m sure he will.
Malaysia bans books deemed to be pornographic or insulting to Islam.
Sounds like there must be many insecure people there.
Maria Chin Abdullah, executive director of women's advocacy group Empower, called the book a "very backward, narrow way of presenting women's role".
"It's really an affront to the women's rights movement," she said. "We have come forward so far to say women are not just sex objects."
People, regardless of gender, should be respected, including in their identity, orientation, and personal choices. Gender equality is essential to full marriage equality. “Obedience” to a spouse, unless, we’re talking about a fetish or kink or a mutual thing, is probably not the best way to have a marriage. Mutual respect, love, kindness, and deference are important.
