If it was a rule it'd apply to both so who you'd be attracted to is irrelevant.

If you don't deal with it, you go mad with frustration. I did. By the time I got my first orgasm at the age of 24, I was certifiably insane. But I had no idea what was normal or why I had gone mad.

I am sorry that saw your post right a way, I am in the same condition as you. I am Muslim boy aging 24. To say in short and clear. Do masturbate a lot just to keep away myself from Zina but I am failed as some points talking to girls thinking about them in sexual way, viewing porn etc and worst of all, I always feel wet down there and dirty.
Being Muslim. With honesty, I want to share my emotions as well, have fallen in love twice but result is same girl left me because I cant have her with me to have sex with me I refuse I fear that my wife would sense me that I have done sex before and you know I am so emotional that I heart start crying whenever I see a beautiful girl, at first do cry because I could have her but now I pray for her in my heart and do say Mash-Allah upon her beauty. I have tears in my eyes on seeing such beauty but still I do think if she is so beautiful from having distance from me what if there is no distance between us?
I hope that you are getting what I am trying say here, right now you will are seeing two sides of me one is bad, weak, so sexual and one side of me is towards deein such as saying Mash-Allah. In the end, I would like to say, that keep balance in your life if you think you are getting out of control take first towards deein. InshahAllah, Allah will help you.
To have sexual feeling towards opposite gender its totally normal. I pray to Allah only He can help us(You, Me and others).
Here is my advise.
1. Take little steps which your right hand is built for.
2. Discuss with your doctor or have someone to share your feeling. Once your feeling is out you will feel relax and confident.
3. Don't talk to boys individually, talk to them in public.
4. Remember Allah in your activities. Always recite BismalAllah before doing anything even if you are doing masturbating. It is a lot harder then it sounds but you will feel change in you after some time.

Here is my example.
Before today, I think it was life 3years back when I often masturbates such that I feel pain in my body, views porn almost everyday, tries to touch girls deliberately but now I am in bit better condition because I took some steps in order to keep myself safe from doing bad deeds.
im so glad to find other girls like me...masturbation is addictive i cant keep myself away from it

Ugh. You have NO reason to feel guilty because it is NATURAL!
There's no clear ruling on masturbation in Islam. It seems like it's deliberately left ambiguous. Maybe for just these types of situations. Whereas zina is clearly haraam so do abstain from it.

However, person considering herself Muslim should not be putting up these kind of religious/societal questions out in the open to any Jack and Jill (there are genuine Islamic forums for it, ya' know). It only brings the not-required free advise and scorn of people who are not from our culture/religion/society. They obviously do not hold the same values as we do. :-)

I'm having the same problem. I'm also a Muslim 22 year old female at university. Recently a white non-Muslim guy from uni started flirting with me and we started texting back and forth and somehow it ended up with us sexting each other. I explained to him I'm a virgin and I've never done that before and I wouldn't sleep with him and he seemed disappointed that I wouldn't because I think he liked me. Trouble is I'm a bit religious and my family is very religious and I wear hijab as well as a abaya (long black covering over my clothes) and I don't know how it got this far with this boy to be honest. I feel like he has backed off a bit now since I explained about being muslim and how I wouldn't date or sleep with him. I really feel emotionally and physically attracted to him though and I know if I could I would sleep with him. I'm just finding it really hard to control my desires. I have masturbated from about 14 as well but try not to do it too often because I know it's wrong but I find that it helps me to stay away from porn or desiring men too much. He always says things like I really turn him on etc but I just feel really guilty about it so I haven't texted him for a few days and neither has he. I miss him a lot though and find it hard not to think about him. I just really want to be in a relationship with someone who likes me for me and not because they have to get married so they can have halal sex. Anyways I just wanted to share my experience with you, I know the other posters will just try to either tell me to get married or leave Islam which are both not options I would consider. I'm about to finish my degree and then start another one which will take another four years and I'm dreading not being able to get married for that long because I want to finish my education first. I know it sucks but there isn't really much else we can do except wait it out until we meet someone we like to marry. At the moment I am trying to get over this really sweet guy because I know it's never going to go anywhere. But it's hard knowing that I'll probably be 26 or older before I get to get married. Im going to be living out for my second degree and I'm a bit worried that I might fall into doing something wrong while I'm there.
Another reason why some aspects of religion, namely trying to repress natural desires that Allah supposedly gave you (:rolleyes:), can be so damaging and pointless.

Just a question, are you Catholic?

Trying to repress? The Sunnah is to marry as early as possible. If we cannot practice the Sunnah, there's always going to be problems...for a Muslim. Don't blame the religion. The religion is perfect but we just cannot apply it :yep:

Is that a bad thing, some non-Muslims will say immature or inappropriate things and simply insulting Islam for being repressive is incredibly unhelpful, but what you suggest is much worse.


If you go to an Islamic forum and ask this, you will just get the most inexperienced Muslim virgin boys telling you that it is Sunnah to get married young and get your needs met that way, but really deep down, they do not care about the girl so much as they hate the idea that she might lose her virginity before them or before marriage.

Even look at this thread, there are 23 separate anonymous posters, that shows there is something seriously wrong with how Muslim women are seen by their “brothers”.
I suppose that was where the whole marrying 6 year olds and having sex with them aged 9 came in handy - well at least for the men, I cannot believe it was for the poor little girls.

Islam (indeed not only Islam but Christianity and Judaism) has much to answer for regarding the imposition of fear about healthy sexual activities such as masturbation. It is very normal for us to get urges and to need to act on them be that alone or with another person(s) and so long as everyone wants to it's all good but religion comes in and says otherwise. How can this be healthy for our species?

There is more to answer still when you take into account genital mutilation which religion seems to be so fond of (FGM and circumcision).

I don't get you...you mean if someone cannot get married?

Lots of reasons why she might not get married then

She might want to study and graduate rather than just being a stay at home wife, and even then, the suitors found for her at that age might be immature and clearly incapable of making good husbands. I don't know how old you are, but think back to when you were 16, most 16 year old boys were totally moronic.

Yeah I didn't deny that there are all sorts of reasons and circumstances. But the Sunnah is clear about this. One cannot blame religion for "repressing natural desires" when it really does not.

I agree it is clear, and I myself tend to avoid phrases such as "repressing natural desires" but you must see that problems would be created if a 16 year old girl were to just get married. It's pretty sad but, you do hear about Muslim divorcees who are still in their teens or early 20's and you think that if they had not been married off so young, they would not be in that position.

I cannot judge what I do not know but I expect it to be better than unwanted teenage pregnancies, abortions, etc and there shouldn't be any problem divorcing...

The religion prohibits sex outside marriage. The problem Muslims have is they give way too importance to marriage, and divorce is seen as haram
