#3 Well I imagine they'll figure things out or their population numbers will start to dwindle.

#6 Old Arab proverb

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

#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.

#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."

#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.
