"In Egypt, men in the Gulf region, they always want to have sex in the wrong place," said an Egyptian woman in a low voice to writer Sherin El Feki, while she was studying sexual tendencies in the rapidly changing Arab world.
The comment is about anatomy, not geography.
This shows the Frank lady.
"Sex and Castle" by El Feki is sometimes realized.
Even though she warned her readers that she did not write an encyclopedia or put on a peep show,
El Feki did ask a series of very personal questions about gifts --
Daily sexual relations in Muslim society, with special emphasis on Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco.
Many people tell her that anal sex becomes attractive when a culture attaches great importance to a virgin bride. Ms.
El Feki, both Welsh and Egyptian, was attracted by the theme of her book during her tenure as vice chairman of the United Nations Global Human Rights CommissionI. V. and the Law.
She knows and is curious about sex, but how hard will she try to rock Casbah?
"Sex and Castle" is also a bad thing.
Optimism is supported because it is a presence and the political background will not go far beyond the Arab Spring of 2011.
As a result, the current turmoil in Egypt and the underlying oppressive climate have not been mentioned.
In a book that often mentions the Mubarak government, she does not mention any improvements that President Mohammed Morsi or his rule may bring.
This is, of course, relative.
El Feki started the book in the long run.
She compared the sexy Egypt of the past few centuries with the Arab world's views of prim and unhappy West.
Gustaf Flaubert found a time on the 19 th when he did not write "Madame Bovary --
The century edition of Egyptian sex tourism, described with enthusiasm. (
About one of his husbands: "She is very corrupt, twisted and full of joy, a little female tiger.
I got my car dirty. ”)
He expressed disappointment that the sodomy did not have a worthwhile opportunity to expand his research.
Flaubert is attracted by the rich tradition of the Middle East porn, which has almost disappeared in the present --
Restrictions of the Islamic era.
The arrival of Napoleon's European influence and the subsequent rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1920 s helped this change. Ms.
El Feki cites the remarkable fact that some Egyptian women today have little knowledge of the Arabic words of the female genitals as the subject is considered too shameful to be discussed.
However, female circumcision is also seen as a common practice in Egypt.
El Feki quoted a mother who casually said, "I'm going to let my daughter do it next week.
Although "sex and Castle" is valid enough as an overall survey, it lacks thoughtful consideration to reconcile all the contradictory sexual attitudes it describes. Ms.
El Feki has found a "non-traditional midwife" daya who has done these operations and has also proven the reasonableness of these operations.
The main point of Daya's argument is that circumcised women are less likely to do harm to themselves than full women.
"If her husband died or divorced, would she pull the man out of the cafe? The requirements of Daya.
The world of "Sex and Castle" is filled with such unanswered questions.
The rules of marriage in the Islamic State seem to bring great benefits to men.
A man can establish a temporary marriage with a woman who wants to have sex with him and then say, "I'm divorced from you!
"Three times, it's all over.
There are several other levels of marriage below the most respected version: state-
Recognized, religious, sacred, familyApproved Union
However, Egypt described in this book is by no means a paradise for stallion.
When economic difficulties and the importance of women in the workplace are increasing, anxiety among men increases.
"It is a privilege to be a man, but it is also a great pressure," a man told Ms . "El Feki.
She concluded, "for whatever reason, the result was a twist in the man's tackle.
Sex and Castle are not cheap tricks.
The author begins her introduction by showing the vibrator to six confused Cairo housewives.
The title is from Ms.
El Feki claimed that a taxi driver had her undressed, although she had only asked to be taken to Saladin Castle in Cairo;
The Arab name of the castle sounds like an Egyptian undressed word, she said.
But her investigation covers sex.
Related subjects, such as unmarried in Arab countries (
"It's almost incredible to take home a date unless it's an edible variety ")
Trying to convince a condom
Sex-averse people engage in protected sex, and treatment for prostitution and gays is everywhere.
Every aspect of the book has been influenced by the new universality of Western pornography and the impossibility of secrecy.
Most of her books are general. But Ms.
El Feki did come across some memorable details such as the restored
Virginity racket
The fake hymen filled with red dyes in the Chinese market triggered a 2009 debate in the Egyptian parliament, becoming another stain on Mubarak's government record.
Doctors are facing a moral dilemma in demanding Hymen surgical repair.
"Are they involved in the process of supporting the dual standards of patriarchal and virginity? ” Ms. El Feki asks.
As a doctor in Cairo said: "When I have 10 women coming to consult, I sympathize with at least 9 of them.
They are suffering and I want to help these girls as well.
