Concupiscencia en el islam medieval: el exceso sexual y las desviaciones carnales

Abstract

Sexual excesses, masturbation, sexual attacks in the darkness and lesbianism represent a series of irrational acts in the Islamic law and, in consequence, are a reflection of the Arabic medieval society. The analysis of these acts in the erotic treaties, the tales and the poetry is the main purpose of this research. For that, we have exhaustively studied the wide range of erotic practices and sexual disorders that the Arabic sources present from the century IX ahead.
