MALAYSIA, (ABC News<\/a>):\u00a0Malaysia has banned an Islamic sex guide published by a controversial group that urges Muslim men in polygamous marriages to have group sex with their wives.<\/h4>\n

Anyone found in possession of the guide, published by a group called the Obedient Wives Club<\/a>, can face fines of $16,000 and anyone caught copying it can face up to three years jail.<\/p>\n

The Star Daily newspaper reports that a top official in the ministry’s publications division says the book has been banned because of the club’s links to outlawed group Al-Arqam.<\/p>\n

The 115-page pocket-sized guide to Islamic sex was released a week ago by the OWC, which was launched in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In its foreword, the book says studies showed women only gave their husbands “10 per cent” of what men desired of their wives’ bodies.<\/p>\n

It contains explicit sex details, devotes a chapter to “how sex becomes worship” and even reportedly urges Muslim men in polygamous marriages to have group sex with their wives.<\/p>\n

Fauziah Ariffin, president of the OWC, denies the book promotes polygamy.<\/p>\n

“Most of the content is only for monogamy,” she told Radio Australia’s Connect Asia. “But a few of the club members are polygamous.”<\/p>\n

Marina Mahathir, a board member of the progressive group Sisters in Islam, says polygamy has been promoted by the OWC although research shows it is unworkable.<\/p>\n

“From the research by Sisters in Islam on the impact of polygamy on families, in effect these are very difficult arrangements, even for the men. In real life it’s a headache,” she said.<\/p>\n

From its launch, the OWC has attracted controversy after its vice-president, Dr Rohaya Mohamad, told Malaysian women they should behave like “first-class prostitutes” to stop their men from straying.<\/p>\n

Fauziah Ariffin says they have been misunderstood as their aim was to tell wives to be an angel – “but nobody knows how an angel (behaves). Everyone can grab … what a first-class prostitute (does).”<\/p>\n

She also said the book promoted legal sex between husbands and wives, in contrast to free sex on offer in the modern world, including sex between lesbians and gay men.<\/p>\n
