Turkish Oil Wrestling

Social Studies lesson of the day:

The official sport of Turkey is oil wrestling. How it’s played is that men put on a kisbet, or a pair of leather pants made for wrestling, oil themselves up and then wrestle other shirtless men in kisbets.

They will try to wrestle each other to the ground by putting their hand up the other one’s pants.

NOW WHEN THE FUCK CAN I GO TO TURKEY???

Sebastian: I only stick my hand down men’s pants for the glory of the Maker:

this is going to be my favorite sport ever. Thank you @nerdlingwrites for the inspiration for another trash art. Also now my headcanon is that it was Sebastian to suggest them the oil wrestling.
