Turkish Oil Wrestling

[foxy]

I'm going to Turkey in a few weeks so I've been looking around the internet doing some research. This is one of the more interesting sites I found. I think I like this sport.

this is certainly VERY homoerotic. I like the photos of the wrestlers lolling around on the grass between bouts looking rather intimate. They all look very close. Could you imagine a tradition like this in the homophobic USA?

 

I this description of the rules:

 

"(3)Since a wrestler is not restricted from placing his hands inside his opponent’s kispet (he may not grab his balls or invade his rectum, however), he can also use the waistband to hold the other man in place. Occasionally the kispet is yanked so far below his hips that the fighter being held cannot rise without exposing himself. Having lost his trunks he also loses the match.

.

A wrestler may grab his opponent’s kispet in any way which helps him with a throw, or to control or for a pin. Sometime he will thrust his arm down the other’s kispet up to his armpit in order to obtain leverage. Despite this freedom, the intentional fouling of a wrestler is almost unheard of."
