06/14/2008: "Sex trade thrives in Afghanistan"

Afghanistan is one of the world's most conservative countries, yet its sex trade appears to be thriving. Sex is sold most obviously at brothels full of women from China who serve both Afghans and foreigners. Far more controversial are Afghan prostitutes, who stay underground in a society that pretends they don't exist.

Customs meant to keep women "pure" have not stopped prostitution. Girls are expected to remain virgins until their wedding nights, so some prostitutes have only anal sex.

[ This hypocrisy shows the nature of Afghan men. They have no respect for women. Their religion tries to give them guidelines to protect them from degenerate behavior, but their nature is at odds with that. ]
