Love huts to temporary marriage: 7 weird sex rituals around the world that will make you curious

Sex word is a taboo in many parts of the world. It’s a three letter word that is talked of in hushed tones both inside and outside the bedroom not just in our country but other nations as well. Be it because of the cultural factor or the general shyness associated with the topic, there’s something weird about the word that often discourages people from talking about it. Even though there’s an ‘air of abnormality’ associated with the topic, many places across the globe practice weird sex traditions that will make you scratch your head (literally!).

Here’s a list of some weird traditions that will make you go WTF:

1) Temporary marriage in Iran

We all know that Muslims practice some of the strictest marriage laws in the world. However, contrary to popular practices, young couples in Iran are allowed to get intimate before they are ready to marry by requesting for ‘temporary marriage’ or ‘Nikah Mut’ah‘. A private contract is signed with a declaration of intent to marry.
