Talking about sex in Egypt

CAIRO: Premarital sex, masturbation, circumcision, oral sex, infidelity and pornographic movies are some of the main topics discussed in the documentary movie “Talking about Sex,” directed by Amr Bayoumy. This movie was played last Sunday in Galaxy cinema, followed by a discussion between the audience, the director, Amal Abdel Hadi from New Woman Foundation and Noha Rushdi from the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR).

If you have been raped or sexually assaulted, REMEMBER!

* Recovery takes time;
* It was NOT your fault;
* Being vulnerable or intoxicated is not an excuse for someone to assault you;
* Rape or sexual assault is not an act of sex or lust – it is about aggression, power, humiliation;
* Complying and cooperation is not the same as consent.
* Sometimes cooperating or complying is the best thing to do;
* Take care of yourself physically and emotionally. This includes proper eating, rest and relaxation, doing nice things for yourself, and asking for help.

If you are a survivor, know that you are not alone!
