I find it rather amusing, in a twisted sense, that Muslim men are obsessed with sex and, according to scripture, are entitled to overdoses beyond belief. Women, on the other hand, well, what's a few stones hurled at your head while you're buried shoulder deep.

I wonder if the English word whore has it's roots in the Arabic houris, or alternatively, both words have a common root in some ancient Middle Eastern language?
