How much longer can the Iranian Theocracy survive in view of such changes in wider society?

This article is thought provoking, given that it is an official report that contains this information:


Sexual mores in Iran: Throwing off the covers | The Economist

QUOTE: " An 82-page document recently issued by Iran’s parliamentary research department is stark in its findings. Not only are young adults sexually active, with 80% of unmarried females having boyfriends, but secondary-school pupils are, too. Illicit unions are not just between girls and boys; 17% of the 142,000 students who were surveyed said that they were homosexual.

In Tehran, the capital, long known for its underground sex scene, chastity is plainly becoming less common. The scope and pace of change are challenging the government and posing a headache for the clerics who dispense guidance at Friday prayers."/QUOTE



I pose this question for discussion:

syed sahib People in Iran are having sex, and they dont care what Mullahs think. whats their to discuss as long as this is consensual and is between Two adults.

None of our business. Why do we Pakistanis want to find out how many girl friends and boy friends Iranians have? This same culture of meddling into other peoples lives is quite apparent in Pakistani homes.

The important point here is that it is the Mullahs who are making it their business, and failing to assert themselves. This erodes their theocratic hold.

Mullahs have no one,but themselves to blame.

Could Mutah be a factor? I know nothing about it apart from the meaning and controversy. Could someone knowledgeable throw light on this?

Mutah isn't being girlfriend boy friend or casual sex. This is Iranian saying to mullahs go bleep yourself. more power to the people

It is clear from all of human history that it is impossible to legislate on control human sexuality of a large population according to the perceived morality of a select few. The same seems to be happening in Iran, regardless of what religious cover is given to such practices.

Be it IRan KSA Pakistan. Mullas are a reason why people are so tired of this constant micromanaging of their life. Their dictation fails, often in their own homes. I have met, known, seen plenty children of Mullas who are the anti thesis to what they preach.

It's the age old problem, the more you shove religion down their throats, restrict them from doing something supposely "wrong" the mroe it will back fire and leave a bad taste.

Anyways Theocracy has never taken a hold in our country, although we got plenty canon fodder for mullas. But i do not see Iranian overcoming mullas anytime soon. Sprinkle Islam on their power grab, private militias ready to kill civilians, personal army ( IRGC ). Yeah Mullas aint going no where.

No...it's just that people don't see how a bunch of horny teenagers can overthrow a regime.

And yet the subject was important enough for an official parliamentary report.

Yeah, that's because that country is ruled by weird people who believe that they can govern people's lives through religion.
