If you鈥檝e ever listened to the podcast 鈥�,鈥� you鈥檒l know that host Yasmin Bendaas usually has a co-host. She invites members of the community to join her for whatever topic is at hand. But when the topic was sexual health and education, the interest in co-hosting dried up. And yet, many folks Yasmin reached out to said they were interested in listening to the episode 鈥� and wanted to learn more about sexuality and Islam.
The idea that sexuality and religion are in conflict has been around for a long time, but the curiosity of how to align spirituality and sexuality is out there 鈥� and more folks are crossing invisible lines to talk about both.
In this collaborative episode from 鈥淓mbodied鈥� and 鈥淢e and My Muslim Friends,鈥� which is produced in partnership with 瓜神app, hosts Anita Rao and Yasmin Bendaas talk with two folks in the Muslim community about sexual health, sexuality and Islam.
