Afghanistan
There's something fancy going on with the Pashtuns
2010-01-28
Study details rampant homosexual behavior in large Afghan ethnic group -- though they seem to be in denial...
Do the Pashtuns hold to the idea so common in the surrounding regions that only those at the receiving end are homosexual, the other party only doing what it is men do to any available recipient, be it sheep, camel, beautiful boys, or wife? edit: Read the article to find out.

#9  Strict segregation of the sexes in fundamentalist Christian communities also bred homosexuality and lesbianism in years past. There are few schools/churches that still practice separation anymore, as they also consider homosexuality as a greater taboo than the minister's son impregnating a young girl in youth group--more "natural" desires and all, I guess. The good news is that once Pashtuns leave the country and attend public schools, they assimilate into American culture well. The girls like make-up and heels, dancing with boys who also like to be trendy and flirt.

#8  phil_b,
Stephen Fry, reporting in the Greek hierarchy of carnal relation, had it as:
"A woman for duty; a boy for pleasure; a goat for ecstasy."

#7  homosexual behavior

It's not 'homosexual'- as we understand it in the West. It's still somewhat common in Greece (which makes sense geographically.) Near-Asian man on man 'sex' is hitting a different 'pleasure' center focused on dominance.

Two men in an equal partnership is considered a deep abomination punishable by death.

#6  Old Arab proverb

A woman for duty,
A boy for pleasure,
And a melon for ecstacy.
