I spoke to a psychiatrist here once, she's from the States and came here in open her practice, and one of her first patients was a Qatari who wanted her to turn him straight. She was appalled at the thought, but took him on in the hopes he would learn to accept his sexuality. Turns out that after a few sessions she realized that he actually was straight but didn't know how to treat a woman. He'd only ever had sexual encounters with men and when he married and was confronted with his wife he was scared to touch her even though he wanted to and was more sexually attracted to her than to men.
