Man detained over alleged sex confession

? Many in this ultra-conservative kingdom, where husbands and wives rarely even kiss in public, have been scandalized by a Saudi man who spoke frankly about sex on a satellite TV program, showing off erotic toys and fantasizing about joining the mile-high club.

More than 200 people have filed legal complaints against Mazen Abdul-Jawad, dubbed a “sex braggart” by the media, and many Saudis say he should be severely punished.

“His punishment should be as harsh as his sin,” said lawyer Mohsen al-Awajy. “He has outraged everybody.”

Abdul-Jawad was detained last Friday for questioning. But his lawyer, Sulaiman al-Jumeii, said the interview, which was aired on the Lebanese-based LBC satellite TV station, was manipulated. He also said his client was not aware in many instances that he was being recorded.
