wrong.

avicenna/ibn sina’s time was like 100 years after al-kindl so it’s not based on him whatsoever. like maybe iranians had similar beliefs bc we were all influencing one another at the time but nothing in my post was false.

one of my favourite fun facts is the knowledge that in medieval islamic arabia, lesbianism was thought to be an illness which can only be treated with a regular prescription of rubbing one's vulva against another woman's. they really said "you're sick with lesbianism, please have lesbian sex to treat it. and if your lesbianism is acting up again, have more lesbian sex"
