I'm a gay British teacher and considering a temporary move to Saudi Arabia and was wondering if there's anything to consider before I move?

Dear euro2010,

If you intend to indulge in your sexual proclivity there, be TOTALLY discrete and COMPLETELY cautious.

And NEVER, NEVER, NEVER get involved with a local.

Regards,
John

Just be discreet, and you will be fine.

This is a gay person's heaven.

MOD EDIT

But best not to get involved with a local, even though my friend didn't get into any trouble.

In a totally sexually segregated society - be it prison or Saudi, the sexes have no choice but to turn to their own sex to meet their needs - whether for sex or just for love and affection...

I always found it sad how they had so distorted the relationships between males and females, but there was nothing in that article that hadn't been explained to me by Arab women friends here in the US in the early 1980s before I went over to the Middle East.

But to our OP, who I assume is male, just be very VERY discreet.
