Academic Claims Gay Men Have a Worm in Their Backside That 'Feeds on Semen'

A Kuwaiti woman, who describes herself as an academic, has claimed gay men have a worm in their backside that 'feeds on semen', according to local media reports.

In a bizarre clip, posted on social media by US-based MEMRI who covers stories from the Middle East, Mariam Al-Sohel reportedly said she has found a 'cure' for homosexuality. 

Speaking on Scope TV, a broadcaster based in Kuwait City, the purported anti-gay researcher said her 'cure' is based around 'therapeutic suppositories', inspired by 'Islamic prophecies', and founded in science.  

She is said to have added that gay people develop a 'sexual urge' after being 'sexually attacked' and this persists as there is a worm in their backside which 'feeds on semen'. 

The purported academic also claimed that there were four genders - 'male, female, feminine gay men and butch lesbians', the news agency reported. 

'So, what I did was to produce suppositories, which are to be used by certain people at a certain time,' Mrs Al-Sohel reportedly said.

She later shows other guests and hosts of the discussion panel samples of the suppositories pills that she has made.
