Sex
and Dubai
Flower Power
When not out shopping, socializing or getting stylish in the
city’s salons, many women turn to the hidden, forbidden, but still pleasurable
pastime of carpet munching.
For those unfamiliar with the term, this isn’t some mad diet; it just means
that lesbianism is peeking out of the closet in Dubai. While we are both on a
steady diet of sausage, that does not stop the bean flickers from trying to
get us to swap sides.
Layala was innocently waiting for the elevator at Grosvenor House on her way
up to 44 when the hot Lebanese girl standing next to her asked her if she knew
where the cash machines were. Always helpful Layala gave her directions but
the girl stepped into the elevator anyway. Layala was perplexed, but it didn’t
take long for the penny to drop when the girl invited her up to her room to go
muff diving together.
Noora has also had her fair share of fishy experiences . On a recent shopping
expedition at Mall of the Emirates, we felt obliged to stop by Harvey Nichols,
where we headed straight for the lingerie section. After picking out a few
seductive bits, Layala went to the fitting rooms while Noora waited for her
outside. She soon became audience to another type of show when the Emirati
girl in the next room decided to showcase her best assets, modeling one bra
after another for her and even asking her opinion. After Noora complimented
her on a particularly cute number, the girl offered Noora a more in depth
view. Needless to say, Noora had no intention of dining on fish fry that
night.
While we are not homophobic in the least, we do wonder: in a city where
homosexuality is outlawed, does the segregation of the sexes only serve as
cover for these illicit activities? Or is rug ravishing the only alternative
when faced with the poor quality of men in Dubai?
