It was an interesting conversation when my friends and I discussed if dildo is haram or not. I started off by asking, ‘Does Islam really prohibit the use of a dildo as an instrument of sexual pleasure?’ To which my friends replied ‘Well it not only prohibits, it doesn’t even recognize it. There are no religious restrictions on using a dildo in any way. It is rather the cultural, moral and social implications that it conveys which have labeled it haram.’
I then interjected saying, ‘But that can’t be true; if we look at it from an open-minded perspective,there are some benefits of using a dildo too. We all are aware that both men and women can face physiological issues, as well as those curable with masturbation, medically a dildo can help solve those issues’ . My friend then countered with, ‘There are limits to every kind of pleasure, and if it could be achieved without a dildo, then it’s better to keep it in that way, Penis Rings as an act of moral sanctity’.
My friends’ opinion was really interesting for me so I decided to dig a bit deeper.I asked, ‘What about the use of a dildo between married couples? Why would they still be prohibited?’ One of them answered ‘Intimacy between a married couple is a way of preserving their unity and relationship; it shouldn’t be replaced with any kind of mechanical artificial device’. Another added, ‘For a long-term relationship, use of a dildo is not recommended due to the risk of distance, and emotional neglect. It could lead to the couple not understanding each other as much as they once did’.
After listening to what my friends had to say, I guess it’s clear that dildos are generally not advised or recommended. In today’s world, it does seem like a harmless activity, but in the long run, it could have serious implications when it comes to relationships.
Moreover, the use of a dildo has a lot to do with moral sanctity. Islam does not prescribe any specific way of living, or activities that should be prohibited, but it does give us an understanding of morality, respect, love and peace. Therefore, it’s probably best to abstain from activities like these and focus more on building a strong emotional relationship with each other.
As this challenges our cultural and social norms, it can also raise questions about how acceptable it is to use a dildo. These morality issues can be addressed if we really examine them to decide for ourselves whether or not it is ethical. Some may argue that this is a personal issue, and I believe it is. We should make decisions for ourselves, but be mindful that these decisions have implications and consequences.
I still have plenty of questions about dildos and linger on whether or not it really is haram. I would love to hear other people’s points of view on this.
My next questions go to intimate relationships. In today’s society where relationships are becoming more casual, I’ve been wondering how a dildo may affect them. Would it help to strengthen the bond or actually weaken the relationship? Could a couple become as intimate physically as they are emotionally, or would it create obstacles in communicating? Would a dildo help to satisfy one partner more than the other?
Also, I’m curious about the social implications of using a dildo. How would it be perceived by society? Would it make people think differently of those who use a dildo for self-pleasure, or couples who use it as part of their sexuality? Are dildos seen as ‘taboo’ by a lot of people, or could people come to know it as something normal and just part of exploring one’s sexuality?
I’m also interested to know how a dildo interacts with our natural human tendencies. Would we be naturally inclined to use it as a form of sexual pleasure, or would it be something that we would need to be trained to do? Do people have a tendency to become dependent on it for stimulation?
Finally, what about the psychological implications of using a dildo? With its use, does it help us feel more fulfilled emotionally or help us become more comfortable with ourselves? Would it have any kind of healing effects? Could it occur to some users to become judgemental of those who do not use dildos?
To conclude, this has been an intriguing conversation and these are just a few of the questions I have had on my mind. I guess these questions are open-ended since, at the end of the day, the answer to the question ‘Is Dildo Haram?’ depends on our cultural and social beliefs.
