point taken, i'm quite mature in matters of sexuality (did studies in the subject at both graduate and undergrad levels), but i was actually shocked at the phenomenon of pedophilia and predator culture that not only exits, but is not a cause of shame. this is something that i think most westerns have a disdain for.

guess i should have been more clear Wink

Dear elmoro,

I think some of us may have been misled (I know I was) by your euphemism:

"freelance boy pediatricians"

I assumed that it simply meant young males of about the same age engaging in sexual dalliance since little/no private contact with females is permitted.

Perhaps I and others are not as subtle as we should be. Smile

Regards,
John

I suspect elmoro is a non-native speaker who studied in the West. I said "suspect," as in speculate.

VS, a lot of young girls get lesbian tendencies in all-girl schools, n'est pas? It's not just a boys-will-be-boys phenomenon. A very lovely Filipina gf of mine from days past said she was a bit of a (nonpracticing) lesbian in school but she grew out of it. And she didn't even go to an all-girls' school.

When I taught Saudi air force recruits ("cadets") in Jeddah in the early '90s, they commonly told me wishful-thinking stories of chasing "young fat boy" down the corniche. I wrote that up and Cleo thought I had made it up. Nope.

At my current base, I am gratified to note that the Saudi officers I teach are mostly mad about WOMEN. Yup--me too.

I can confirm that the women's colleges do have lesbian activity (one director walked in on a couple "interfering" with each other Shocked Shocked as he put it). We were instructed to discourage such goings on. Like we were going to get involved in any way shape or form Rolling Eyes

speculations VERY wrong. apple pie and baseball baby!!! american born and raised from the mid-west and a convert to islam. and a veteran i might add! Shocked

i well aware of lesbian and gay culture. i repeat, i was referring to the pedophilia and predator culture that i have been investigating here (have a degree in sociology also). i was just trying to be subtle considering there are many thin skinned people on the internet, but like most americans, i really prefer to say it as it is. considering i have had my share of run-ins with the pc gestapo, i try to be as subtle as possible sometimes.
