Iraq is a conservative country. I'm guessing the soldiers return straight to their base because hanging out in town may lead to hanging off a bridge...or worse. How do these soldiers release stress? Are there prostitutes that come to the base or do they go to Kuwait?

There were not too many options when i was there; either you took care of yourself ;) or try to find a female soldier; there were even reports of some of the US female soldiers forming prostitution rings on some of the larger FOB's (I cannot personally verify this).

Lots more female soldiers than in the past, I saw many come back pregnant during Desert Storm.

As for this war possibly trips to the Emirates, Kuwait, etc. , and I also heard the Green Zone.

But I don't think it is anything near like Japan, Korea, Vietnam, or Europe.

Imagine the uproar if they were doing with the muslim girls what they were doing in previous wars including marriage with the nationals.;)

If you're married, and loyal, you jerk off a lot.

If you're single, or married and disloyal, you find yourself a soldier of the opposite sex to hang out with on the FOB (good luck!)... AND jerk off a lot.

it's that simple.

you're an odd one Narmer... but i guess i should say thank you for your concerns about our sex lives...?!

Nothing odd about such a question. Somebody carrying around a loaded gun has to release his stress somehow. You can't have that built up in you or you might explode. Even this has to be of concern to the commanding officers.

Loaded gun? I just call it MSB (massive sperm buildup) Some of us long time married guys get it too, and we don't even have to leave the country. :)

Let me guess, some guy in high school gave you the blue balls story and you believed him...

Yeah, a lack of sex turns people in murderous savages. :roll:

You never have to wait long for some lefty crackpot to start saying crazy shit in this forum, that's for sure.

Get a Jihdist laid and see if he feels like suicide anymore. Also, I fail to see how a question about sex makes you a "lefty". Oh right... you "righties" hate the naughty no-no parts.

Surely you have empirical evidence to back up your assertion. I'd love to see your data.

The question doesn't make him a crackpot lefty. That he is a crackpot lefty is simply a fact, and if you'd bother to read his other posts that much would be clear. And really, the issue isn't with him being a lefty, it's more about him being a crackpot. The left has plenty of things to get angry about when it's comes to the current administration. Making sure soldiers get laid isn't one of them.

And don't get too excited about thinking you just "burned" a "rightie", I'm far from it. In fact I'm about as kinky as they come. If there's something two people (or three, or more) can do together sexually I've probably done it. That doesn't change the fact that the OP is just a fool dredging for something ridiculous to turn into an issue.

It wasn't political until you made it political. And stuff about getting suicide bombers laid was referring to how Islam (and Christianity) hates sex. The sexual retardation of Muslim society is indicative of deeper problems within the religion.

And what was he dredging for exactly? I don't get what the nefarious, liberal endpoint of the OP's line of questioning is.

I kinda of wonder if some folks coming back from Iraq are turning to SAME SEX to relieve stress. To me that's disgusting, but I bet it happens more then you'd think. I'm all for legalization of prostitution and they should send a bunch over to Iraq.... No sex for 6 months to a year or more must really suck... Tho, I would never be getting my jollys off turning to same sex personally but I can see it happening, probably promoting it.

there are prostitutes in Iraq.

I hope they would bring them to the green zone.

or they find one and bang while their boys look outside.

at least that is what I'd do.

Nothing wrong with masturbation for those who don't want total celibacy, and it beats, no pun intended, complications from impersonal sex, IMO.

Unfortunately, there are also many stories of women soldiers fearing rape there.

"The attitude of Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez [ground commander in Iraq] permeated the entire chain of command: The women asked to be here, so now let them take what comes with the territory," said Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, the commanding general of the 800th Military Police Brigade...

The task force also found that in the past two years there have been 2,100 reported sexual assaults in the U.S. military.

By the way, sex CAN have a positive impact on terrorists - you might enjoy the following, a story of how a terrorist group used marriage to convert terrorists to peaceful citizens:

The same way you managed for all of your life? Masturbation.

I haven't been involved in anything major since 94 but back then i spent almost three years exclusively away from home and trust me, sex is the least of your worries.

Keep your fantasies to yourself, you're creeping me out.

Seriously, when i was deployed in Sarajevo there was this woman who i really really wanted to screw, but i didn't, i waited and as time passed it was ok just to jack off in the loo and then keep talking to her, i had no protection and it was not easily available, i wouldn't have worried much about diseases but i could have gotten her knocked up and sure, i would have left, but i cared about her.

There are opportunities all over, women and men don't stop being women and men in war zones but only really stupid men get involved in war zones, sexually or otherwise and i hate to break up your gay gangbang fantasies elriclp but that just doesn't happen.

I'm looking at Craig234's sig a couple of posts down and was just wondering if this reply by you comes close to meeting the definition of 'irony'.

I'm guessing, compared to me, you are sane and actually understand the difference between right and wrong? If you believe your tripe, back it up or go away.

In case some of you haven't noticed . . . most of the dead soldiers and Marines are males under 30. Speaking from experience (before the married with kids), reasonably frequent sex (with a woman) was rather important. Silent Sam can attest to how easy that was in Chapel Hill.

Obviously, life for service people in Iraq sux on multiple levels but it's not like they spend 24/7 on patrol. During those all too infrequent intervals of reasonableness, I'm sure a few guys (and gals) would say swimming, watching movies, hitting the weights, going for a run, listening to music, and even calls to the states are GREAT . . . BUT . . .

IMHO, this is the first time where sex may be an issue when soldiers want a little R&R. I thought it'd be a good discussion topic and I was wondering how the soldiers are coping. It's an honest question for the curious.

Soldiers are resticted at all times, what makes you believe that a soldier on leave in a foreign country isn't on specific restrictions?

Here's a clue numbnuts, forget the movies you watched and realize that pretty much everything you do while wearing the uniform is restricted to what you are allowed to do, sex is not one of the things that is even included in the code of conduct you have to follow.

Does it happen? Sometimes, it pretty much always leads to dishonorable leave of the force you are presently in, but it can come down to spending a few years in jail since ALL such cases have to be investigated and if she does not agree (if she's and officer, why would she, it would basically end her career) then you will be charged with rape.

My only advice to anyone is that the gun in your hands is for talking and the gun in your pants is for the day you get out of the shithole you're currently in.

Whats "FOB"? This is the second time it has been brought up. I could ask a couple buddies that are ex-marines, but we only talk once a month or so.

Fuck Only Buddy, it's not a military term and quite frankly after reading the rest of the crap that he has written i have a hard time he's ever been in the military.

Geting involved with a female soldier gets you kicked out so fast it will make your head spin, and yeah, there is pretty much always some jealous a-hole who will tell.

Try three year long deployments, it shouldn't happen but it has.

Three years, fortunantly we were on OOU leave three times during that time, but man, how do you NOT flirt with a beautiful woman rubbing your crotch?

You tell me.
