Episode 6: Struggle to lose my virginity, vaginismus and coaching women to have painless marital sex

11/11/20 • 47 min

Amirah Zaky started the episode by sharing her upbringing of being raised by an Egyptian father and a Thai mother who learnt about Islam with her as a child, to getting married at a really young age of 18 years old which is when her struggle to lose her virginity began. For a year, Amirah hadn’t consummated her marriage which lead a discussion with her husband where divorce was mentioned which is something they both didn’t want. Amirah started her own research into her condition and realised that she had a condition called ‘Vaginismus’ which she describes in detail in the episode. It was so brave and courageous of her to be so open and vulnerable with us in the hope that it will help another woman out there. Alhamdulilah soon after this, she was blessed with two beautiful children and she no longer suffers from vaginismus. She now works as a sexual wellness coach specialising in helping women to overcome painful sex, vaginismus and fear of intercourse. She also helps women to painlessly lose their virginity on their wedding night. We talked about the importance of normalising talking and educating our girls about sex so they enter marriage mentally prepared rather than frightened and with shame. It was a really amazing episode with many gems to take away. I really recommend sharing this episode with all women in your life, especially those who are about to get married or are married.
