"Burton found the cities of Afghan to be "saturated with the Persian vice" at the end of the nineteenth century. Afghan merchants were invariably, "accompanied by a number of boys and lads almost in woman's attire with kohl'd eyes and rouged cheeks, long tresses and henna'd fingers and toes, riding luxuriously in Kajawas or camel panniers. They are called Kuch-i safari or traveling wives, and the husbands trudge patiently by their sides. Male homosexuality remains common in Afghanistan, as does harem lesbianism."
