Several religiously conservative Muslim countries attempt to minimize, shame, and restrict human sexuality. While these efforts sometimes succeed, the religious prohibitions often fail to prevent people from enjoying themselves. For example, despite the ban on the sale of erotic materials in most arab countries, Pakistan ranks #1 in the world for certain sex-related search terms. Despite these restrictions, many Muslim women are still free to enjoy themselves. 

High demand for hijab porn

There is a plethora of hijab porn available online here, on website aflamaljins.com . Despite the legalities of making and selling pornographic content in Muslim-majority countries, it is nevertheless possible to find adult videos that feature hijabs. These films are a positive step towards the representation of women in pornography, as many hijabi women wear hijabs in real life. Moreover, hijab presence in porn is a reflection of human diversity - even though it also has problematic dimensions. Hijab porn is not intended to be taken literally, but is meant to be an enhanced moment of inclusion.

Despite these negative aspects, hijab porn is still highly popular among Arab women. This is partly due to the fact that hijabs are often real people - there are real people behind the hijabs in these videos. The BangBros may have shot Mia Khalifa Is Cumming for Dinner in order to cash in on stereotypes of Arab girls in the West. However, the video has also sparked a debate on the sexual liberation of Arab women.

Laws against revenge porn

Israel has become the first country in the world to make revenge porn a criminal offence. This controversial practice was first made public in Israel when a woman discovered that her ex-boyfriend had posted an intimate video on social media. In response, she attempted suicide two times. Revenge porn is a global problem. Israeli lawmakers have struggled to find a solution for this trend, but they finally agreed on a new law that makes it a crime. Lawmaker Yifat Kariv pushed for the legislation and said it would send a message to couples who might be considering revenge porn.

The Arab world is no stranger to cases of revenge porn. While not as widespread in the U.S. as other regions, it is a global problem. In Egypt, for example, revenge porn has been widely publicized. In December 2012, Abdullah Badr was sentenced to one year in prison for distributing photoshopped nude images of prominent Egyptian actress Elham Shaheen. Other, less notorious cases occasionally make headlines in the Arab world, as well.

Impact of Internet pornography on sex violence against women

Recent studies have shown that exposure to pornography may have adverse effects on women. While IP is often celebrated in Western societies as antisocial, in the Middle East it may be considered as a zone of cultural exception, where violent acts against women are celebrated. This is called the "third-person effect." In this article we examine how the objectification of women in IP can lead to dehumanisation and heightened aggression towards victims.

Studies have shown that frequent pornography consumption is associated with increased divorce rates, infidelity, and feelings of sexual incompetence. In addition, pornography is linked to heightened rates of aggressive behavior and sexual coercion in adolescent boys. It is not surprising that pornographic content reinforces such harmful perceptions, which may lead to violence against women.

Legality of Internet pornography in the Middle East

Governments across the Middle East have varying policies regarding the legality of Internet pornography and sexuality. Most countries fall somewhere on a spectrum between censoring pornography and allowing it, depending on their beliefs. Although there are no uniform laws, many countries follow similar principles. The Internet, however, complicates the process. Many countries do not require websites to filter pornographic content, and are tolerant of websites that do.

Egypt's Interior Ministry recently set up the General Administration for Information and Documentation, which is responsible for policing the internet. There is no explicit law prohibiting access to pornographic websites, as all Internet service providers (ISPs) pass through the state-run Egypt Telecom. The creation of the Department for Confronting Computer and Internet Crime is reported in the government-owned daily al-Ahram.
