Bahrain’s Newest Tourist Attraction for Neighboring Arabs, about Gulf "Nahasa"……………
“Gulf sex shop offers marriage guidance. Usually veiled and wearing a modest, flowing abaya, Khadija Ahmed looks an unlikely owner of the conservative Gulf's first sex shop. She sees nothing wrong, however, with selling "joy jelly," edible undies or the vibrating accoutrements offered by such niche boutiques around the world, insisting that nothing in Islam forbids the pleasures of the bedroom. "It's not a sex shop in the Western sense," she explained, "but a place to help married couples, and only married couples, enjoy sex to the full." Ahmed, who admits that she cannot, of course, check identity cards to see whether clients are married or not, got the idea for the business as she came to realize how many men and women were having extra-marital affairs. Her shop, named Dar Khadija, aims "to provide a service to married couples by making their sex lives more exciting than the lure of an affair. "Why do married men and women go looking for love elsewhere? Because of the routine that couples fall into."……….”
I know who the majority of her customers will be. The many thousands of thirsty and hungry tourists from across the bridge to Saudi Arabia. Hers will be the most successful new business in Bahrain.
Look out for the Saudi customs authorities to start inspecting cross-border luggage for these erotic paraphernalia. Their philosophy: why allow some of your ordinary citizens to have any fun in the privacy of their own homes when you can ruin it for them? This same philosophy is also common in one or two other Gulf countries. It is called “nahasa” by the natives.
