Quote 166 of 495

Later that day, I met with a small group of students I had grown to
like, hoping that, away from their teachers, they would talk a
different talk. Meeting students out of class had already made for a
number of interesting moments: I had, for example, been asked for sex,
as had Laurent Van Der Stockt, the photographer with me. Sometimes the
propositions were intimated; sometimes they were unusually blunt,
especially given the Taliban's official position on homosexuals, which
is that they should be killed. Those few students who knew a bit of
English seemed most interested in talking about sex. Many of them were
convinced that all Americans are bisexual, and that Westerners engage
in sex with anything, anywhere, all the time. I was asked to describe
the dominant masturbation style of Americans, and whether American men
were allowed by law to keep boyfriends and girlfriends at the same
time.
