Sexy Underwear, Where?

As usual, the final letter published to the Economist this week was quite amusing. In a previous article The Economist discussed Turkey's role in the underwear trade. Interesting article and it confirmed a story I had heard once from a first generation Iranian-American. She said that on visits to the Middle East sexy undergarments were quite popular. It seems that while many in that area of the world dress overtly conservative (Bee-keeper suits as Bill Mahr would say), they are quite unabashed in the bedroom, for their husbands.

Sex sells in America, but the intrigue of sex seems to sell in the Middle East.

Interesting read. Maybe we can find peace in the Middle East through mutual appreciation of women in Victoria Secret.

This article is not quite as sexy as Saddam in his underwear though.
