    Wrestlers oil one another prior to matches as a demonstration of balance and mutual respect.

    If a man defeats an older opponent, he kisses the latter’s hand (a sign of respect for elders in Turkey).

    One thing SatW gets right is the general sluttiness of Denmark. And I mean that without any negative connotations.

      In my experience the Finns are more open to impromptu wrestling that gets strangely erotic depending on the amount of inebriation.

      The homo eroticism is mostly subconscious, though (the inebriation level is such that there is a case for plausible denyability).

      I must stress that this is not denieing and sluttiness from Denmark.

      I lived there for several years, must admit the attitude towards sex and sexual things is very very liberal compared to any other place I’ve seen.

        Same, spent a few years there studying. The general casualness towards sex was… very refreshing, if unusual at first.

    Oil wrestling shows up in the classic heist film Topkapi.

      Highly recommended watch if you like Mission Impossible. There’s so many direct references.
