Thoughts on this?? (Why is masturbation still such a huge taboo for Muslim girls?)

What do you guys think?I just found this while scrollin thru reels

A lot of Muslim girls treat masturbation like it’s the biggest sin ever . super taboo and shameful. But honestly I don’t see it that way anymore. I feel like it’s completely okay and even good. It’s just exploring your own body, a beautiful form of self love, a great stress reliever, and you’re not harming anyone else. It’s only you. According to Islam it’s also better than actually committing zina, right? So why treat it with so much shame?Like for example the girl in the reel is waiting for Ramadan to be over just to masturbate? I’ve masturbated so many times, even during Ramadan. I just couldn’t help it. One time last Ramadan my whole family was praying Taraweeh in the next room, and there I was in my bedroom, fully naked, masturbating hard. It felt so haram in the moment lmaoo, the guilt was real but ngl I couldn’t stop and it felt really good.

Now I don’t feel bad about it anymore. It’s become such a nice stress reliever for me and I genuinely think every girl should do it without any shame. It should actually be encouraged! especially for girls who are waiting till marriage or even marriage girls whos husbands are away. I mean how else would you get rid of your sexual frustration.It’s healthy, natural, empowering, and good for your mental peace and it is scientifically proven. Girls deserve to explore and enjoy their own bodies freely.

I still pray 5 times a day and all but I’m done feeling guilty over something that doesn’t hurt anyone and actually makes me feel better.What do you all think? Especially other girls from strict backgrounds do you still see it as taboo or as something normal, positive, and healthy? Has anyone else done it during Ramadan or in risky situations like that? Did the guilt ever completely go away for you?Rant away, curious to hear honest opinions💖

Thoughts on this?

honestly I just don’t buy it.This kind of thinking feels more like fear than wisdom. It assumes that people especially young people can’t handle freedom without everything falling apart. Like somehow seeing a human body or expressing yourself openly is enough to “destroy a nation.” That just sounds exaggerated.

Nudity, for example, isn’t automatically something immoral or shameful. It can be artistic, natural, and even empowering depending on the context. Also, if you believe in God, isn’t it kind of ironic? Humans were literally created naked. There was no shame in it until people were taught to feel shame. So why is something natural suddenly treated like it’s dangerous or corrupting?From classical art to modern expression, the human body has always been a subject of creativity and meaning. The problem isn’t nudity itself it’s the mindset that instantly sexualizes it or treats it as something dirty.Same with all this panic about “the younger generation.” Every generation gets blamed for changing norms. But change doesn’t equal collapse. People are just redefining what freedom, identity, and expression mean to them.

me, this quote says more about the fear of losing control over people’s choices than it does about actual “destruction.” A society isn’t weakened by people having autonomy over their own bodies it’s weakened when people are shamed, controlled, and denied that autonomy.

Anyway, that’s my take. Curious what others think rant away.
