There's probably a college psychology paper somewhere in there about how men in a sexually repressed, ultra-religious society become radicalized due to their sexual frustrations and religious guilt complexes (jihad in atonement for their guilty consciences?). No wonder they want their 70 virgins that badly as well. There's a parallel in all the cases of pedophilia and molestation in Catholic churches where the clergy are not allowed to marry or have sexual relations leading to frustration and depravity being vented in destructive ways.

Men having hidden porn stashes is a pretty common thing across all countries and cultures.
This discovery just illustrates that everyone on this planet has a lot more in common with each other at a base level than we might want to admit, with culture or political beliefs somewhat moot . . . . . . hence my earlier comment that this news was going to be the least surprising thing I was going to hear all day.
At a base level, we all want food, shelter, family, safety, occupation, a sense of community and to a varying extent, spirituality. It doesn't matter where you are, what cultural influences you have in your life . . . .
And another commonality . . . . . guys are guys when it comes to their porn stash.
