Middle East is one culture that has existed and still exist out of contemporary America’s geography as well as History. It is the part of area where sexual norms are almost the complete opposite of sexual norms that exist in Contemporary America. We can simply observe in such areas that males prevail over female and even after such radical modernization throughout the world where female have become equals to male and are able to work as well as compete at the same level, females in the middle east are still seen as someone inferior to males and to abide by whatever males demand. We see young marital ages when it comes to females and high adult marital ages for the same couple. This is alarming as it shows that the sexual norms in middle east still allow huge age differences between a couple.
Moreover these age differences are probably the primary factor behind the male’s dominance over females in this particular culture. Furthermore, not only are female seen as inferior, they are often seen as someone unable to fulfill the male’s sexual desire. This leaves a gaping hole in the sexual genders’ bond and leads to increased homophobic activity within countries like Kingdom of Saudi Arabia . Such a raise in homophobic activities in states where same sex marriages or activities are strictly prohibited implies that the sexual norms of Middle East are changing dramatically but only in the favor of men from time to time. Such scenarios only seem on a constant rise and have no signs of ceasing to exist .
The effect that this culture’s sexual norms and changes in such sexual norms indicate that this culture has had a very drastic effect on human sexuality. It has made it evident and fairly buoyant that females have lost the will to fight back in the Middle Eastern culture. The few who do stand up against such sexual animosity are silenced in an instant, never to talk about any decisions again. Not only have these sexual norms make females inferior when it comes to the sexual gender preference, these sexual norms have also deprived females, in the Middle Eastern culture, of any form of proper sexual activity. This produces a mass differentiating gap between the human sexuality of males and females within the Middle Easter culture, causing all kinds of uncertain problems for females as well as kids.
The human sexuality of male has become powerful yet distanced itself from heterosexual activities. Instead, the human sexuality of male finds minimum pleasure in females when compared with the past. It finds solitude and adventure in having constant human sexualities with fellow man instead. This effect on the human sexuality from the sexual norms of such a culture has proven that if a human sexuality is left neglected or unbalanced, it can topple over itself and create an entirely new human sexuality preference, be it male or female. Such drastic changes also elaborate how secret sexual norms develop underneath the current sexual norms and overlap in the preference of human sexuality when it becomes highly acceptable to the sexual genders of such society.
These human sexualities, diverting from heterosexuality, have not only restricted males and their preferences to secrecy or advisory anymore. These preferences off human sexualities have increased into other aspects of the culture as well, affecting every part of the culture as a whole .
