"Science" in Saudi means consulting the muftis, and if it says it in the book, it's a scientific fact!

My husband laughed so hard at this he spouted about half a glass of precious wine out of his nose.

Is is possible, REALLY possible, for people to be so totally ****ing thick?

Anyway, i thought the men were only bothered about the 70 odd virgins they get when they die.

Oh god. There's really no hope for them, is there?

Homoerotic desire is a constant theme in Saudi songs and poems about drifting, and accomplished drifters are said to have their pick of the prettiest boys among the spectators.
If in SA and you get invited to compete in drifting, you might not want to win

Yeah Muslim socities like the Gulf and some other Muslim countries have a this weird approach to homosexuality. On the one hand it is haram but on the other it is relatively open and an 'open secret'. No doubt all here have seen gay Asian men holding hands (in a manner specific to gays) in the corniche.


When I used to live there as a kid and teen, Older Arab men and teens have tried to pick me up, same story for friends. Bloody buggering pedos, and the worst thing is that you can't even report them to the law cause one has no faith in the impartiality of the law.
