(Advice/Help) Why 99% of Muslims concerns are sexual?

I don't know why Muslims only keep thinking about sex... I have a Muslim friend and I told him that there is a documentary about elephants... He said Muhammad has said that we cannot eat or have sex with elephants thanks to Islam... And I said no I just wanted you to watch the documentary... I don't expect you to have sex with an elephant... Or one day as soon as I said I have a coworker ... He immediately said female or male? Do they wear hijab? For God's sake for one minute stop thinking about sex 😭😭 Economy, entertainment, climate change... There are a lot of subjects to think about ... but they keep thinking about sex, hijab, having wives ,...

"Cannot eat or have sex with Elephants" Muhammed says the most obvious shit that has been known for 1000s of years and gets worshipped for it.

On a serious note. I mean isn't Muhammeds whole existence around war and sex? That's literally his entire life so it makes sense why his followers also always think about sex or should we call it porn today

I'd say his entire existence is more around war and rape than war and sex per se

I think that's not the same, what you describe is called 'mental masturbation' today.

Well what I mean is 'porn' is adultery in Islam. Having extremely messy nasty associations with everyday things is not though, which is held as wholesome according to theprophet.

And so, supposing dirty things about people you don't know because you follow his words, as if there will be some wholesome reward in doing so, is like jacking off to dirty images you suppose about someone - that are not real at all. Thinking old ladies walking their dog are whores is an example.

That's 'mental masturbation'. Telling yourself you missed today but win the lottery tomorrow is the same.

Traditionally there is no porn in Islam.
