Quote from this book "The taste which Arabs have for young boys is of universal notoriety. So says Paul Reboux in Sens Interdit, (Paris, 1951). There is some disagreement whether or not they inherited this taste from their conflicts with the Greeks. Certainly, the nomads who came into the rich cities from the desert enjoyed all the luxuries they conquered, including pretty young boy servants and the boys in brothels. There was also a tradition in the Arab world which permitted a man to do what he pleased with his slaves and which allowed for prostitution. It is more likely that strong emphasis on protecting women, rather than Greek influence, led to the training of Arab boys as entertainers sexual objects. [sic] At any rate, the Arab world has continued the traditions of brothels and the ancient schools for training boys in vice for profit. (See Farago, Arabian Antics, N.Y., 1938, re the existence of such a school in the 1930's.)" p71 Secondhand booksellers |
