‘Chay’ magazine is asking for a fatwa on themselves .. i think the only reason that hasn’t happened already is because the name of the magazine is ridiculous enough to make the whole thing seem like a joke

An excellent idea. I am enthralled because for the last many years I have been thinking to publish a magazine on same lines, but frankly could not muster courage to translate dream into reality. You have done it. Congratulations.

I have written some papers for the benifit of Pakistanis, yet to be published. Also engaged in, though occasionaly, in sex therapy and advice(can not find much time because of my official engagements).Would love to read material in Chay. By the way, you have(perhaps intentionally) omitted the most important Two Words initialing with “Chay”. They are “Choot”, a Sanskirit word, used frequently in Urdu,Punjabi & Hindi(of course verbally) for “cunt”, and the second word is “Chola”, a punjabi substitute for “clitoris”. Both are the central “points” in sex.

The intersectioanlity of gender, race, religion, ethnicity etc, and how they impact desire and define its limits in ways is definitely a subject we would want to explore.

In fact, the example you have given about the expectation and at times requirement of domestic labourers to be asexual is spot on and a good point of entry into that discussion.
