This has been known since 2009. This US Army Human Terrain Team report is interesting reading, if you find strange & violent forms of misogyny and pederasty morbidly fascinating https://info.publicintelligence.net/HTT-PashtunSexuality.pdf https://info.publicintelligence.net/HTT-PashtunSexuality.pdf

Another example of cultural misinterpretations of Islamic tenants, bent to support homosexuality over heterosexuality, comes from a U.S. Army medic completing a year-long tour in a rural area of Kandahar province.8 She and her male colleagues were approached by a local gentleman seeking advice on how his wife could become pregnant. When it was explained to him what was necessary, he reacted with disgust and asked “How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean, when one could be with a man, who is clean? Surely this must be wrong.”

Surely this must be wrong. The dialogue sounds fishy and constructed to me. Local "gentlemen" surely know the procedure to "get pregnant" and have managed to procreate just as good as anywhere else in the world in the last 30 centuries without asking western medics...
- eru 11y agoOh, hang out on reddit.com/r/sex or /r/relationship, and you'll see that people come up with the strangest questions. (Might still be fake, of course. But I wouldn't bet on it.)
- okasaki 11y agoThere's a lot of fake posts on r/sex and r/relationships too.
- bane 11y agoYou'd be surprised what people without access to education on procreation believe.
- jscheel 11y agoRemember not to place these men in the same socio-economic and cultural categories you grew up in. This comes from the same culture that believes it is not homosexual to penetrate another man (receiving is what makes you effeminate to them). IIRC, this was the same for pederasty in ancient Greece.
- afarrell 11y agoI believe Rome too. I've wondered for a while if this is a long holdover from the short-lived Alexandrian empire.
- anigbrowl 11y agoWhy assume it must originate from a single source? It doesn't seem odd to me that similar social structures might emerge of their own accord under similar social conditions rather than necessarily being learned behaviors from other cultures.
- anigbrowl 11y agoDon't be so sure about that. Only a few decades ago doctors in Ireland (which used to be hyper-conservative on sexual matters) would sometimes encounter couples who were not having any luck conceiving, only to discover that they were attempting to procreate via the wife's navel. Highly religious people have historically not considered themselves to be fundamentally similar to the lower animals.
