Is it forbidden to discuss matters related to sex for knowledge, learning, and increasing information?
Discussing sexual matters with unmarried individuals arouses lust and invites the forbidden. Its harms outweigh its benefits. This is not permissible except in cases of extreme necessity, and for someone who has not found a legitimate means of acquiring knowledge, such as reading jurisprudence books, so they ask someone knowledgeable and religious, and they predominantly believe that this will not lead to something unlawful.
Discussing matters of intercourse indicates a lack of modesty and contradicts high aspirations. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade disclosing the secrets of the marital relationship, likening those who do so to a male and female devil meeting and fulfilling their desires while people are watching.
