Who's telling Turkish couples to quiet down during sex?
Turkey's ruling party shrewdly raises sexual and chauvinistic topics whenever the going gets tough.
It's long been said that government has no business in people's bedrooms. Government, however, hasn't always agreed.
But this time, at least, it appears to be blushing.
On Dec. 15, Turkish parliamentarian Fatma Kaplan Hurriyet, from the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), brought a thick book to parliament. The book’s title was “Marriage and Family Life.” Hurriyet explained to her colleagues that this book is handed out as a gift to all newlyweds in Kutahya province. In Turkey, all legal marriages are conducted in civil ceremonies by the municipality.
As the legislator highlighted, the book is filled with rather extraordinary sexual scenarios, so much so that it rocked Turkish social media.
