All this is a lot more complex than most of think. I agree totally with Keith, I simply don't understand the case of defence put up by Steve.

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. Many men who had anal sex with men before marriage want the same thing with their wives, because they don't know anything else. This is one reason they need sex education in their schools.


Pashtun men commonly have sex with other men, admire other men physically, have sexual relationships with boys and shun women both socially and sexually — yet they completely reject the label of "homosexual."

Pashtun men interpret the Islamic prohibition on homosexuality to mean they cannot "love" another man — but that doesn't mean they can't use men for "sexual gratification."
