Thankyou Ines.
For what it's worth, I have lived in Muslim countries and what I'm reading here is definitely not normal, even in places considered religiously conservative. To suggest otherwise is naive and offensive.
I get the feeling that a lot of the posts on here are total fantasy... So I would just like to say that if "sexual relations" or "intimacy" are somehow intertwined with parents / brothers / sisters / cousins etc, then you have very serious issues.
If you are fantasising about such things, get help.
