WATER RUNS DEEP

Sex and the “victorious” city!

   
Suddenly, the only thing people talk about is sex! (at least in Egypt as far as I know).
- He/She is sexy, there is no beautiful, cute or attractive anymore. Either sexy or nothing at all.
- I have to cook up “sexy” headlines.
- All jokes have sexual aspect in them.
- And of course, I wont get started on films, songs, and the “new line of Egyptian fiction”.

I don’t know why I think it is absolutely weird that it takes this much part of our daily talk. Psychologists say frustration, but I cannot agree.

And to talk about the non-stop sexual harassment is going to take forever.

But the most recent thing I came across, is that i discovered that the notorious “sheikhs” who sell cheap cassettes on the streets for the ignorant to listen to are now using sexuality in their “religious” discourse!

Few days ago, the taxi driver was listening to one of them. for 30 mins - it was a long way, slow traffic as usual in Cairo - the “sheikh” was speaking about the “pretty, sexy, fair women, pious men will get to enjoy in heaven”.

The story was about a “pious” man who went to heaven and he sat there in a luxurious place “enjoying” (that’s the word he used) three women sitting around him. While he was “enjoying,” suddenly the most “pretty, fair and …. (all the synonyms for sexy you can imagine) woman appeared above him and called him to go up to her”.
The “pious” man went up, then asked her “who are you?”
she said: I am a “pious” woman, who was not that beautiful in life, but now I am rewarded for my piety.

I don’t remember the exact last line, but the story ends in something like “they lived happily ever after” and of course don’t forget to add “enjoying” each other!

WTF!
WAKE UP PEOPLE.
