Let's talk about sex in Egypt
A video by young Egyptians about sexual repression has gone viral via social media.
CAIRO — A well produced viral video starring several young Egyptians has been making the rounds recently on social media sites, sparking heated discussions around issues beyond the well known problem of sexual harassment of women in the streets and on public transport.
It talks about sex — specifically the cause and effect of sexual repression in Egypt as perceived by the creators of the satirical video, and a number of people sharing the video enthusiastically on Facebook.
"A funny, smart, refreshing exposé of some of the rampant sexual hypocrisy here and a brave attempt to shed some of the taboos around it," wrote an Indian woman who is dating an Egyptian man in Cairo on Facebook.
The video begins with a young Egyptian man who says that sexual repression has become so engrained in Egyptian culture that it has resulted in daily, and absurd, judgments about everyday behavior.
