Saudi TV sex boast man arrested



A Saudi Arabian man who went on an Arabic television talk show to boast about his sex life has been arrested. The man, named as Mazen Abdul Jawad, prompted more than 200 complaints from Saudi viewers.
He was arrested for "publicising vice", police said, after he spoke about his experiences and displayed sex toys and a sex guide at his home in Jeddah.
Mr Abdul Jawad had publicly apologised, saying producers at the TV station had tricked him into some of his accounts.
During the show on Lebanon's LBC, the father-of-four told how he first had sex with a neighbour when he was 14.
He also described how he used the Bluetooth function on his mobile phone to pick up women in the kingdom.
A police spokesman in Jeddah said Mr Abdul Jawad's appearance had violated Saudi Arabia's Islamic sharia law code and was against Saudi customs.
He was detained at his apartment at the Red Sea port city before being fingerprinted and turned over to criminal investigators, according to media reports.

Another reason why I never want to go there.

I'll take note of that

[Yosemite]

heh i'm fine with people not talking about their sexual lives, but

saying producers at the TV station had tricked him into some of his accounts.

is pretty bad

[Orko]

Oh, yes. People SA are executed for not wearing enough clothes every day but this is outrageous.

He also described how he used the Bluetooth function on his mobile phone to pick up women in the kingdom.

Sounds like quite the guy. Must have been one of those with the vibrator function.

[VALIS]

At least he won't get his..........(wait for it).................head cut off, that would really complicate his sex life.

I hear this was a thread to make fun of Muslims, amiright?

No, but thanks for the idea.




This makes me wonder, what happens if they actually have sex?

Nothing. Saudi Arabian people lie side by side on the bed fully clothed like the German couple from a while back.
The Saudi government artifically produces thousands of babies in laboratories to spare the poor moslem people the dishonour of having to have god-hating and evil bodily contact.

You know somewhere deep beneath the desert sands someone is trying to make this come true.

[Tiberios]

So, what can you do in SA that does not break some mysterious law?

[Каие]

Idiot. The unwritten rule in Saudi Arabia is do what you want, but don't advertise it. The laws themselves are draconian and oppressive, but in reality it all happens, all the time, and is very widespread... as long as it's private.

[Amry]

I don't get it.

The Saudi government censors the contents of television programmes. Like all other governments. So... the point is... ?

The OP will be telling us next that the Pope does not approve of us using Durex, and I am not talking Australian Sellotape.

What brand does he prefer then?

[mongrel]

What brand does he prefer then?

I believe that this brand meets the Holy See's exacting standards.

[Angrychris]

We had rules and regulations on issues of sex appeal in the past 100 years (tv/movies/radio) that were against the law in AMerica.

This is true throughout the Gulf Region. Even the devote muslims who don't drink or smoke and quote the prophet in public, don't shy from talking dirty in private.

Some of it is for cultural reasons, but a lot of it is also political. There is no seperation between church and state, so publically defying Islamic rules also means you are publically defying the leadership, which always carries risk in a dictatorship.

Because they are allowed to do that as devout Muslims.
