Sex Researcher

The Resume

    (September 19, 1967- )
    Born in Egypt
    Hosts the call-in show 'Big Talk,' answering questions about sexual topics
    Has been called the Muslim Dr. Ruth

Why she might be annoying:

    She refuses to discuss topics that are haram (forbidden in Islam) such as extramarital sex and anal sex.
    She compares homosexuals to 'the alcoholics and the drug takers.'
    She claims to have 'cured' more than 30 homosexuals.
    She is against female masturbation because 'a woman has to remain blank until she is married.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is the first licensed sexologist in Egypt.
    She claims the Koran encourages healthy sexual relations between husband and wife and suppression of the topic in the Arab world is a result of culture instead of religion.
    When conservative critics suggested that her show encourages sexual activity among youths, she responded 'The youth experiment anyway, but based on wrong information and misconceptions.'
    Her advice for men is 'You have to have foreplay with your wife and you have to have sex with her frequently, not just when you want to.'
