Over at the comments section of our previous blog entry, Mr. Bahmani asks:

"Here's a stereotype: Weak, wussy looking (Iranian) men, wearing clogs,
too much cologne, shirts with stripes, thin wispy
beards/moustaches/chest hair, tweazed eyebrows, greasy skin, channeling
Kamran and Hooman, driving cars they can't afford without leasing,
apparently get the girl. All the girls. Anyone got a decent explanation
for that?"

Fine, Let's Talk about Sex, baby

Sepideh over at Sepideh on Iranian.com has been kind enough to come to my defense on the issue of my dislike of smelly feet and love of Merlot.

Iranian woman slut; Iranian woman prude: blah blah blah

So apparently more than anything else, the topic of my celibacy has become the excuse to re-hash that never-dying question: Do Iranian women put out too much, not enough, or just right?

Fact of the matter is, I can't answer that question, mostly because it's just not a real question. It's more a reflection of the commentator's own issues than anything real. But somehow, it never fails to generate much discussion *yawn*.

Celibacy and Morrissey

Right behind the eternal questions of which came first, the chicken or the egg, and why did the chicken really cross the road, stands the sexuality of Stephen Patrick Morrissey, aka lead singer of the Smiths.

Was he a repressed homosexual as many like to believe or asexual and celibate as he repeatedly claimed?

What do you mean you're celibate?

I have recently taken a vow of celibacy. By recent, I mean REALLy recent. Like two days ago. This blog will be a chronicle of this new and perhaps fascinating (both for myself and for the readers) stage of my young tender life.

No, I am not some kind of Iranian nun: My body does not belong to god.

And nope, I don't think the body is a temple.

I am also not, what is called an "incel," an involuntary celibate. Believe you me, this is all voluntary.
