Mideast Piece

I tried participating, but they wouldn’t let me in without a blonde wig.

In July 2005, some folks in Berkley got together for a protest and some old fashioned exhibitionism. (This link is probably not work safe and you may go blind too.) The protest was called Breast Not Bombs and featured lots of bare chested women. Men got into the action too and dropped their pants for the cause.

These peace protesters weren’t the prettiest naked people I’ve seen, but I guess peace comes at a high price…

Thanks to a tip from our friend P, we learned that an aide at the Israeli consulate to the UN quit his job over his outing as a gay porn star. According to this article from the New York Post’s Page Six,

Dror Barak, a k a Roman Ragazzi, worked in the administrative offices of the Israeli consulate while moonlighting as a “model” and gay porn star.

I googled “Roman Ragazzi” and that’s where I found these hot pics. If you’re in NYC or Israel and read Hebrew, you can check out “Roman’s” Atraf dating page here. According to his profile he’s a single, non-smoker and passive. He’s a self-described optimist and independent.

I don’t approve of violence, but if it’s kinky and gets Jews and Arabs together. . . maybe.

According to a CNN report, Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after authorities there found him in the yard of his residence, tied up, gagged and drunk. He was wearing several sex toys at the time, the media reports said. After he was untied, he told police he was the ambassador of Israel.

Israel Foreign Ministry ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel said the reports were accurate and that the ambassador has been recalled although he did not break any laws.

“We’re talking about behavior that is unbecoming of a diplomat,” she said.

I love it! The lesson to be learned here is if you’re going to be tied up, do it inside and remember the safe word!

Just a word of warning - the links in this post (and many links on this site) will take you to adult content. There you have it. Proceed at your own risk.

On of our favorite blogs here at Mideast Piece is The Perfect Phallus. It’s a site where men get to share pictures of themselves (specifically their woowoos) and then Mrs. Candy, the blog author, and readers comment on how hot they are. Love it!

Mrs. Candy even has an appreciation for Arab men. She featured Ali, a 21 year old “straight” guy living in Lebanon. She calls him her Arabian Faun! Here are some hot excerpts from Mrs. Candy’s interview with Ali.

As i have noticed, you don’t yet have any Arab Phalli on your page, and I’m sure that many viewers would like to have an idea, especially when that Phallus comes from Lebanon, the Arab country which is known for the beauty of its people, we have the hottest guys, and the sexiest girls.

By the way, although Im straight, I am VERY interested in appreciating other phalluses ..

So there you have it folks. To see hot pictures of a sexy Lebanese guy, check out this post on The Perfect Phallus. They were just too hot to post here - even with some creative cropping!

In researching for Mideast Piece, I come across all sorts of surprising things that even I - a seasoned veteran of the Fertile Crescent - did not know.

For instance, many countries here have a long tradition of men dressing as women to perform in public. This surprised me because things like homosexuality and men “acting” like women are pretty much deplored in this part of the world, with beating and/or death doled out regularly in punishment.

Some of this drag dancing has historically been done for interesting purposes, such as giving the bride some sex education (!). After all, if it’s illegal for women to do naughty dances, who better than men to dress up as women to do the dances for them, and offer an anatomy lesson to boot?

The famed Egyptian khawal boys of the 1800’s were known for embellishing women’s dance with acrobatics and sex-oriented movements, and they often fooled European tourists into believing they were actual women (then again, how swift are the French, really?).

Nothing like chicks with dicks to cool down during a hot Arabian afternoon!

A couple of years ago, Israeli model Dudi Balsar (picuted above) was voted “Sexiest Israeli” in condom maker Durex’s sex survey. While Durex isn’t really pulling a Kinsey, their survey is still pretty, um, revealing. It’s also disturbing how “straight” the survey is - I mean, it’s very hetero in its questioning and published results. Who cares how many times a year straight people have sex?! I mean, really! According to this article, Four out of ten people say they look for new ways to spice up their sex lives. The most common are: pornographic films and magazines (41% worldwide, 34% in Israel), aromatic massages (31% in the world, 37% in Israel)… 49% of men said they prefer pornography as a stimulus.

Now it’s your turn - tell us what turns you on! Who do you think is the sexiest person in the Middle East (or of Middle Eastern descent)? Leave us a comment or send us an email!

Call me crazy, but American audiences are ready for a West Side Story-esque musical set in the Middle East featuring star-crossed lovers - an Arab man, and a Jewish man.

How timely and relevant would this gay romp around the pyramids and Saudi oil fields be? Very timely and relevant! Picture Brokeback Mountain, Arabian-style. I have decided to call this pet project, Arabian Knights. I am not wed to the concept of a musical; however, I think it will be easier for our sandy hunks to express themselves in flashy production number with names like, “I Feel Jittery” and “I Like to be in Jerusalem.”

I would like to officially launch casting for this future Oscar-winner by inviting all Middle Eastern hotties to send us photos of themselves in a state of semi-dress. Acting skills are quite secondary, as long as you’re hot. Also, please let us know if you have any skills such as camel-riding, turban-knitting or temple-excavation. We will post the hottest photos and let our rapidly-growing pool of readers decide.

Oh, and I’m also not wed to the concept of a big studio production. I feel there is also potential for a C-rate porn here, the kind that plays on big screens in gay bars before the dancers start humping the pole, you know? It’s time for a creative, vision-filled change. How many locker room scenes can the gay community continue to endure?
