Bush in Iraq but Mid-East Muff hard to find
It might come as no surprise that one of the few niches not overflowing with content is Arab porn. It seems somewhat logical given that women in some Middle Eastern countries can't leave the house without wearing full-length burqas that cover everything but their eyes. Makes one think of Victorian England although I don't think anyone covers the legs on a grand piano in Iran.
Is the only motive modesty? Marianna Beck, Ph.D. describes in her article How the Victorian Era Spawned Pornography's Golden Age that restrictions weren't just about sex but politics too. The growth of erotica in France prior to the French Revolution spurred fears in the English ruling class that too much freedom leads to revolt so the Society for the Repression of Vice was established in 1802. Vice was subversive - subversive was a vice.
Up-to-date info about access to web pornography in the Middle East is difficult to find. Nevertheless, Wikipedia mentions that certain countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Syria, still currently force the majority of surfing citizenry to use a government-controlled proxy that filters out questionable material.
Meanwhile, Aljazeera reports (05/16/05), "Anyone using camera phones to distribute pornography may face up to 1000 lashes, a 12-year jail term and a 100,000 riyal ($26,670) fine under a proposed Saudi Arabian law, newspapers have reported."
Most Arab sex sites I find are on age verification systems such as Adult Check, Sex Key, AVS, etc. Without seeing them first hand, generally these networks offer access to 1000's of small sites but in diverse categories other than Arab. Otherwise, often commercial sites offer Indian or Pakistani women as Arab.
Naked Arab men, both straight and gay were easier to find. For example, we reviewed Istan Boys coming out of Turkey. I guess males feel they can get away a bit more with behaving despite being held to some pretty strict standards too.
Various message boards suggested that Arab women even living in America were unwilling to be models. If there is a black market for naked Arabian babes, it isn't obvious to find… maybe like the speakeasies during American prohibition, you need to know the right, back alley doorway and the correct secret knock to get in.

Actually, Persian refers to being Iranian. Iran is not considered an Arab country, look it up!
