Sure it’s possible! Not only is it possible, it’s very common! When I worked in the Middle East many years ago, I came across more men who wanted a sexual experience than I have ever encountered in the West! Had I not been raised in such a conservative home, and had I been out at that time—I came out of the closet much, much later—I could have had a ball! 😊
Many Arab men are very handsome; they are also very sensuous. Western men could learn a lot from them! Western men are far too cautious and timid.
So, despite Islam forbidding and condemning homosexuality, there are gays aplenty in the Muslim world. In fact, I would go as far as to say that the strict segregation of men and women in Islamic societies even fosters homosexuality. — © Mark Alexander
