This may explain why both Muslim and orthodox Jewish women not only describe a sense of being liberated by their modest clothing and covered hair, but also express much higher levels of sensual joy in their married lives than is common in the West. When sexuality is kept private and directed in ways seen as sacred – and when one’s husband isn’t seeing his wife (or other women) half-naked all day long – one can feel great power and intensity when the headscarf or the chador comes off in the sanctity of the home.
这或许能解释为什么穆斯林和犹太正教妇女们自称她们的保守穿着和遮盖头发让她们感到一种被解放的自由感，而且她们也表示她们在婚姻中得到的肉体快感比西方人强烈得多。当性行为被限制在私人空间而且被引导为以被视为神圣的方式进行时，当丈夫并非整日看到他的妻子（或别的妇女）以半裸状态出现时，那么，当头巾和黑罩袍在家庭的神圣感中脱下时，人就能感到性的威力和强度。
