Turkish Oil Wrestling

Turkish Oil Wrestling is so called because the wrestlers douse themselves with olive oil. The wrestlers wear only a type of hand-stitched leather trouser called a kisbet. Matches may be won by achieving an effective hold of the kisbet, so the aim is to control your opponent by putting your arm through his kisbet.

Look like Turkey will be my next vacation destination. Where is this on ESPN?

The stink of Turkish BO combined with that oil-no thank you. 🤢🤢🤢

Don't they get baked standing in the sun doused in oil?

They wouldn't want you there anyway, r1.

There is a long sequence of Turkish wrestling in the movie Topkapi, in the early 60s. You can see that Melina Mercuri 's character finds it sensual and exciting.

(The scene is longer than what I fond and linked)

Tell me you gays are not JUST discovering this.

If my college had this type of wrestling, I would've joined the team in a heartbeat.

Good Lord, I've found my new porn!

Hot AND they smell like french fries. What more could a Datalounger ask?!!!

R9, to not be beaten by a self-loathing gay wrestler after he dumped his load in me. Would that be too much to ask?

That smell of oil, ass and pit must be nauseating.

All wrestling is deeply homoerotic. Next time the Olympics come on, do watch the Greco-Roman wrestling!

But the oil-covered Turks take the homoeroticism to another level, I'm told that they're allowed to get much nastier than their Western counterparts. That a good way to win a match is to reach into the other guy's leather trousers and to get your thumb up his ass or a good grip on his dick, that's the way they get enough leverage to throw the opponent down and pin him.

Can they grab balls in order to win ?
