Sex in Saudi Arabia


The Saturday Profile - Challenging Sex Taboos, With Help From the Koran - Biography - NYTimes.com

In Saudi Arabia and other countries where the genders are rigorously separated, many men have their first sexual experiences with other men, which affects their attitudes toward sex in marriage, Ms. Lootah said.

“Many men who had anal sex with men before marriage want the same thing with their wives, because they don’t know anything else,” Ms. Lootah said. “This is one reason we need sex education in our schools.”


Vaseline salespeople take note.

[PS: I have no idea what the picture says in Arabic]

UPDATE: I am clearly getting a lot of hits for this post. If you are looking on how to get sex in Saudi, I cannot help you. (Perhaps cruise a supermarket?) But I have posted a long post on Homosexuality and Islam in History on this blog at:

If you are Muslim and gay there is a Gay Mulsim website based in the UK that contains lots of information:

Actually this is quite accurate. My cousin was a doctor there for many years who helped run a sex education campaign. It is a known issue among medical and health professionals, and was partially to blame for low birth rates .

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all organizations of human rights defenders in the world must come together to implore the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from now cease to apply the Sharia law to Saudi people. And violating human rights of womens and homosexuals who live in this Islamic country. Enough to justify the laws of Islam to attack a society that deserve rights of life and opportunities. Long life to gays in Saudi Arabia!
