Hey Everybody...

You maybe surprised to know that even in the orient and esp. the Middle east media talks about BDSM...

Well, it's true but they speak about it in a covered way..

For example, in the sitcom "Tamer and Shawqiya", this sitcom is about 'Tamer' the classy sissy boy and his wife 'Shawqiya' the agressive figure that came from a bad neighborhood...

in one of the episodes, Tamer wanted a favor from a g/f.. they made an agreement that he shud do whatever she wants to do him this favor... after the deal everything Tamer did or said was a v. clear proof that he is her slave.. For example:

* i have been under ur feet for weeks
* he polishes her shoes.. (and this is not common here at all)
* he does all the shopping for her..
* whatever she orders him, he says immediately yes ma'am
* she orders him to go for buying some goods for her, drive the car 4 her fiance, and he obeys immediately...
* if she shouted at someone, he repeats the same words..
* he is usually standing behind her not even beside..

I believe that someone in the staff of this sitcom is in the lifestyle.. but whoooooo?!

Slavery is as old as humanity, probably.

BDSM is something different, and this sitcom is definitely not vanilla. However, it might just be role reversal, since male authority/female submission roles in Egypt are a lot more strongly defined than they are here.

We have no idea where slavery first began. Any claim that once society did it first would be a matter of drawing on written records and for personal issues that would be the middle eastern world it seems.

But in terms of this show, the summary said his girlfriend is his dom not his wife? Is that correct because if so it seems like the same old, same old, guy is free to have extramatrial affairs while the wife is expected to be monogamous. Nothing unusual or even unvanilla if that is the case in my opinion.
