of puberty high doses of respective sex hormones stimulate an imbalance in
the child's experience that often results in a pre-occupation with the sex-
response end-organs. For modern children under the influence of erotic
propaganda, this damned up reservoir often bursts causing maladjustment of
an otherwise normative response. The tendency of behavior then leans
towards extremes of introversion or extroversion. This is most evident in
societies where intelligent discussion of sexual matters by the child’s intimate
and supposedly trusted companions (family) is avoided. Other extremes are
found in societies where incest is common and even traditional, such as in
Japan or certain Hindu cultures and among Satanists.^67 In these
environments, the child loses all perspective that sex may represent
something more than a mere bodily function or, even worse, sexuality
becomes religiously perverted. In many of these latter situations, the
concepts of holiness and trust that reside in the person’s fitrah which reflect
our covenant with Allah SWT are either lost or distorted by religious taboos
and rituals that fail to address knowledge and purpose. These are swept away
by the jet stream effluent of repressed desire and perverted encouragement.
As we shall see below, this is caused by a failure to address the child’s
reasoning and comprehension appropriately and in a timely manner.
As a baby and pre-pubescent, the child adjusts its own sexual response system
as a naturally normal function of the body's innate knowledge of its needs
(rights). This instinctive behavior is entirely free of any sense of moral guilt
until parents cause such deviant thought constructs and patterns by virtue of
their bias. When left to the body's instruction, the adolescent hormonal
tsunami passes without maladjustment provided intelligent guidance is given.
Unfortunately, sex is a taboo subject for most Muslims. They do not discuss
the matter freely, honestly or intelligently, and many are almost entirely
ignorant of the subject except for what they’ve learned by default or by virtue
of superficial black-market 'locker room' vulgarity. In this regard, it is
important to note the following facts regarding masturbation:
“The only legal text used as evidence for the prohibition of masturbation is Allah’s
saying describing the believers:
