Irreligious Urges

Egypt does something to you.

You visit mosque after mosque after mosque, not to mention the churches and synagogues randomly thrown in. Instead of enjoying the religious symbolism, the majestic architecture, the awe-inspiring continuity of it all, I find myself thinking of the possibilities of a make out session in a minaret. The women's quarters in a traditional family home - with their harem window shading and secret passages - present themselves as the perfect place for a certain set of clandestine activities.

Oh land of the sexually repressed, what hast thy done?
