Afghan boy toys

[Deleted]

I had never heard of this before, but I came across an article about the bacha bazi, bacha baazi, bacha bereesh… (variations of the same thing) -- "boy toys" or "beardless boys."

They often have long hair, are dressed like women and are generally between the ages of 14 and 18. This custom has disappeared from Uzbekistan but is growing in popularity in Afghanistan. They are a must among the warlords of the north.

These kids come from poor families and act as general purpose servants for a small salary when their "master" (kaatah) doesn't take them to special parties. Of course, these are all male events, since women are not allowed in public. And of course, women are not allowed to dance anymore…

Anybody with any status in society must have his own bacha bazi. The richest and most influential Afghans have several bacha and have them dance during a “qush khana”. The better a boy dances, the more prestige his "owner" obtains.

Some of them wear bells, which is a sign of prostitution. During the night, when the dancing is finished, the boys are shared among the men for sexual favors.

Here are some videos:







Frankly, the hypocrisy of such a culture leaves me speechless.

What struck me about the first two videos, and of a couple I looked at on youtube, what how there is almost no attempt to disguise the masculinity of the boys. Even the dancing doesn't seem to try to mimic feminine movements or gestures. Those guys are being ogled for their male good looks, build, and carriage.
Then there is the last video ....... the horror of seeing that still extremely child-like face!

Yes, that's I feel too. And what some have to do just in order to survive, so sad.

Sick sick people.

Sickening!

Obviously, now that they have relegated the women to the sole inside of their homes, like a prison ... It goes together, doesn't it?

basic respect (or lack thereof) of human beings.

Why are human beings so warped?

Did you read the comments in the first video?

What happens to the boys when they get "too old"?

What happens to the boys when they get "too old"?

In one of the articles one of the boys was asked just that question. His response was that he wanted to become a master himself and have his own boys...

[auntieannie]

that's what he wants... but will he be allowed?
