"Behind the Veil of Vice" undermines stereotypes about Arab sexualities that have become entrenched in the English-speaking world, partly by reminding readers that we still have plenty of sexual hang-ups in the West, too.

The supposed licentiousness of the West is forever being contrasted, to my mind, in wholly spurious ways, with a sexually barren Middle East. You frame your book as a look at the cultural sexual similarities between Arabs and Westerners. I recently spoke with Bradley about child brides, temporary marriage and Islamic feminist perspectives on the sex industry. This fascinating and comprehensive book guides readers through the seedy underbelly of the Middle East - from prostitution in Bahrain to temporary marriages in Iran - but it is just as much a reflection on Western sexual mores. The more nuanced truth, he says, is that these seemingly oppositional cultures have far more in common than we often admit: Both "live under rulers who, under different pretexts and with varying degrees of severity, seek to curb the unruly sex urge as a way of maintaining social control." There is also a shared "gap between propaganda and reality" and "a vast gulf between public and private morality," he argues. Bradley, author of "Behind the Veil of Vice: The Business and Culture of Sex in the Middle East."īradley, a journalist with an expertise in the Arab world, crushes the popular perception of the Middle East as erotically stifled, and the West as the land of sexual expression and freedom. But what about Egypt, Iran or Saudi Arabia? These would be equally accurate answers, according to John R. If asked to identify a country with a thriving sex industry, ubiquitous exposure to pornography and rampant homosexual sex, most would point somewhere in the Western world.
