The phrase "women for procreation, boys for recreation" may sound disgusting to some, but in some Muslim cultures, boys are prized higher than gold. In places like Afghanistan, wedding singers are in huge demand. They are usually pre-pubescent boys who with their voices and dance skills entertain guest at a wedding party. However, anybody with money can easily buy off 'extra' services if they choose to do so. According to Wahid, cameraman who makes his living filming wedding parties , this is their profession and they are used by men.

It seems odd a culture that despises homosexuality would engaged in such acts with young boys. I assume it is one of those things you know happens, but you don't talk about.

Below is the article. Anybody has more information on the topic? I would like to know how often does this occur?

You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.
