In rich Gulf states, if you belong to a wealthy oil family, or royalty (or
both), and if you are so inclined, you can pretty much snap your fingers and
have a young boy summoned; you pick the age.
The smoother skinned ones are at a premium.

Dubai thrills pop singer Michael Jackson
Mon Aug 29, 6:41 AM ET
Pop star Michael Jackson, on a private visit to Dubai, is reportedly
thrilled by the Gulf Arab emirate which is in the midst of a construction
boom.
Local newspapers reported on Monday that Jackson has been touring the
emirate, the Gulf region's trade and tourism hub, for the past week in the
company of the Dubai-based Arab rally driving champion and friend Mohammed
bin Sulayem.
"Michael had a wonderful time and he was surprised and impressed by what he
found in Dubai," the papers quoted Sulayem as saying.
Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, is building what it says will be the
world's tallest tower, three man-made islands in the shape of huge palm
trees and a slew of other projects aimed at luring foreign tourists and
investment.
Jackson, who was acquitted in June of child sex abuse charges, is currently
living in the Gulf Arab kingdom of Bahrain as a guest of the royal family.
The 46-year-old pop star of "Thriller" fame is popular in the Gulf region.
