Every third young Iranian is having homosexual sex

A few years ago Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadnejad declared that there are no homosexuals in Iran.

The world again misunderstood the president. Ahmadinejad likely  meant western homosexual culture that has almost become official. Nothing of the kind is observed in Iran. Anal sex between Iranian men is present, according to the study published in PLoS Medicine scientific magazine.

The article in the magazine is devoted to AIDS and is called “Epidemic among men having sexual intercourse with men: Middle East and North Africa. Systematic analysis and review”.

The table “Anal sex among different groups of population in Middle East countries” indicates: “Iran. Single sexually active young men-29%.

The authors explain that these people are not homosexual. Iran’s problem is that 45% of men at the age before 29 years old, that is on the sexuality peak, are not married, mostly, for economic reasons. In the country where premarital sexual intercourse is strictly restricted, most practice the old eastern way – premarital sexual intercourse between men.
