Comments on: Being Gay in Saudi Arabia http://xrdarabia.org/2007/04/09/being-gay-in-saudi-arabia/ Informed comment and commentary about Saudi Arabia, reform, and its relations with the US Tue, 22 May 2012 20:17:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: secret http://xrdarabia.org/2007/04/09/being-gay-in-saudi-arabia/comment-page-1/#comment-27283 secret Sat, 16 Jan 2010 08:37:06 +0000 http://xrdarabia.org/?p=3010#comment-27283 We have to be cautious on what we are doing. This would be the first line in what would be my innermost opinion about the gay life in Saudi Arabia. Gays are gays, in whatever perspective you would want to put it. Which mean that gays are prone to do acts which could make them happy but made them feareful and paranoid because of the fact that they have to consider the strict Islamic sensibilities and trepidations that shrouded the society they're living in.First hand, I know, I lived, savored but suffered the gay life Riyadh. How long I miss to be in the big arms of these arab men whose sex life has been curtailed since Islamic rules dictates that you can never have sex with a woman unless you are married, so they kinda channel this frustrated emotions/passion ( aside from their enormous hands that helps a lot) to men themselves, until such time that it becomes habitual ( I mean having sex with men) and the next thing they knew was that, their sexual gratification can be achieve towards men , which makes them gay... It was a wild chase by the way, and full of roller-coaster emotions with all those of brohuha of being gay in that area,,, but I lived to tell the tale. We have to be cautious on what we are doing.

Cultural differences will be manifest in which particular weakness and strengths are at play, but we're all carrying the same human genome. For some, it's sex; for others, alcohol or gambling. For some, it's buying too many books or articles of clothing; for others, the tendency to tell others how to live their lives.

All of this happens in Saudi. Lesbianism is rampant. My sister in law is a professor in Jeddah. The Lesbian girls there wear certain clothing that lets everyone know they are gay. Prostitution, drugs, alcohol, it is all in Saudi. Heck, in Riyadh they even have a "lovers lane" of sorts. An area where unmarried people go to have sex. Yes, in Riyadh. I guess what bugs me the most are the people, both Saudi and non Saudi, who think Saudi is immune to these things. Did you hear about the gay marriage that was stopped in Medina?
