Search Results: changing your man

Today you talk about an LGBT agenda, yet in the past you were pressuring people into heterosexuality. Literally, your ancestors were telling our forefathers: 'Stop this fagg... behavior.' While Turks abandoned sodomy during the 19th century through Westernization, today people are becoming homosexual through Westernization.

The French traveler Jean de Thévenot wrote the following observation about 17th-century Istanbul: 'The Turks are famous for pederasty, and it is a very widespread sin among them. They do not conceal it much, and one of the main subjects of their songs is either this kind of disgusting love or wine.'

During the period when the Ottomans Westernized in an autocratic manner The great 19th-century scholar and official historian Ahmed Cevdet Pasha also mentioned pederasty/sodomy in his work Maruzat: 'Those fond of women increased, while admirers of young men decreased. Homosexuality seemed to disappear into the ground. The long-standing love and interest toward young men in Istanbul turned toward girls. Âli Pasha, fearing foreign criticism, tried to conceal his taste for boys.'

What an interesting world—only the colors change, but the West remains the same West!

Let's say you have a lazy boyfriend, you have to go away for a few weeks to visit family. You expect the place to be disgusting when you come back.

You come in to a spotless apartment with everything stocked exactly the way you like it, exactly where it should be, and before you can remind him to do the laundry, you look an see he's already folding it like a pro and steaming away every little crease that he finds.

How attractive would this be to you, a man stepping up and showing this devotion to you?

Full disclosure, I sucked at chores forever but now I'm downright obsessive with making sure there's not one hair in the bathroom, not one smudge on any mirror, and ensuring plates are spotless and then even still, washing them again.

If I was your boyfriend and stepped up like that, would it change how you see me by showing my willingness to change, or creatinf resentment in the realization I was capable but ignorant?
