"Fatin Shop for Ladies Indoor Clothing" is a famous shop in Old Damacus souk. Westerners would call it a sex shop but the deeply conservative and religious society of Syria proudly sees the shop as temple of "leisure wear".
BBC's journalist Martin Asseris delighted as he sees first the musical knickers proudly displayed in this shop. The garments come in many different shapes and colours, and play little tunes, or other extraneous noises like telephone ringtones, all made by small electronic devices hidden in the lining. Forthright displays of the some world's kinkiest lingerie have long been a feature of Syrian souks though many tourists don't notice the crotchless knickers and PVC French maid outfits among the more traditional inlaid backgammon sets and textiles. It stems from the Syrian tradition for brides-to-be to be given a trousseau of exotic underwear, sometimes dozens of other kinky items, usually by girlfriends, aunties and cousins, to add spice to their wedding nights, honeymoons and beyond. Now two London-based Arab women, Rana Salam and Malu Halasa, are shining a spotlight on this little-known local speciality, with a new book called The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie. "The point of the book is to go beyond politics, to break stereotypes and celebrate Middle Eastern sexuality and pleasure. Call it kitsch, call it whatever you like, but I think this attire is superb, spontaneous, pure art", Ms Salam told Martin at the launch party of the book. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. What may be a new discovery to outsiders is that Islamic sexual mores are not only about veiling women, segregating the sexes and austerity. On the contrary, sex is there to be enjoyed to the MAXIMUM by Muslimsas and there are numerous religious exhortations on the importance of foreplay, mutual titillation and satisfaction for both partners. Indeed, if a husband fails to satisfy his wife sexually or vice versa, it is considered grounds for divorce under Islamic law. Martin Asser paid a call on one of Syria's most established lingerie makers, Ali Nasser, in his cramped workshop in the Sheikh Saad neighbourhood. He was amazed how fast a brand new red satin bra and g-string takes shape from Naseer's old sewing machine, his expert eye and skilful hands honed by more than 30 years in the business. In Indian cultural contexts, this might seem something like a den of vice, but Mr Nasser, a devout Muslim, insists it's more a public service and religious duty. "Our work is all about igniting the desires of a husband for his wife, so he doesn't go looking elsewhere. It's a good thing and there's nothing wrong it. There's no shame in religion." Welcome to the no-frills Islamic world of Syrian lingerie, no frills, but plenty of tassels, and feathers, and zips, and bras which open like curtains, and...
