“I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought about being temporarily married for three months of my life, until I saw it on Ramy. Ramy made it real for me again. Is this what all TV is like for everyone else? If so, I want more of it”
Photo: Hulu My secret was so well kept that I’d barely thought about it until the premiere of the sexually complex new Hulu comedy Ramy, a series about Muslim-American life in New Jersey. The show, which centers on the first-gen Muslim immigrant experience, is a poignant representation of the Muslim disapora, one rarely seen on TV. Watching it, I hung onto every iteration of “Allahu Akbar” and saw myself in all the horny Muslim moments.
The scene unravelled, and suddenly I was 18 again. By that age I was reading Harlequin bodice rippers almost exclusively and watching and rewatching sexy movie scenes , all in absolute secret. I was writing 800-word “love letters” to my first real boyfriend, who my parents knew nothing about. In our entire eight-month relationship, I only ever saw him twice, at cafés I snuck away to. We never even shook hands.
I was as sure about the Mut’ah as any lustful teenager could be. My boyfriend laughed when I convinced him to do it, not caring either way. He didn’t fear Allah the way I did. In the lead-up, I didn’t tell a single soul, not a friend, cousin, or anyone. I was too afraid of being caught to trust even my best friends with my horny secrets.
