What about livestock?

And despite the questions about masturbation, they are not nearly as pious as they sound. A “wife” in Iran could be a 1-hour fling in one of the state run whore houses and brothels licensed under the name “Chastity House.”

Iran may hang and stone its female adulterers, but a man can have sex with practically any woman he wants other than his wife provided he keeps the total number to less than four and he gets an Islamic official to sanctify the ceremony (rather easy – usually a few words next to him). There have been cases of religious police picking up prostitutes and “temporarily marrying” them, then reading Koranic verses and releasing them from the vows. It’s not considered sex outside of marriage because temporary marriage is part of a Shia belief called mutah.

So forgive me if I feel a little bit confused about a people who are so restrained by Islam that they have to ask a political thug about masturbation, yet who engage in prostitution with full support of the state.

But sounds like the only explaination.

A fast means you don’t eat or drink anything for 24 hours. Christians and Jews fast regularly and fast on the Day of Atonement / Yom Kippur.

Maybe a moose limb fast is different because they can invalidate a fast by masterbating. What? Do they eat it?
