Russian Military searches for ‘penis face’ tattoos on soliders’ genitals
The Russian Defence Ministry has recommended that new soldiers be checked for tattoos that could indicate that they have had gay sex, specifically recommending that genitals and buttocks be examined.
Damon Murray, co-editor of the “Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia Volumes I-III”, says the recommendations reflect traditions in the Russian prison system.
“This is a form of ‘lowering,’ basically degrading an inmate, forcing him to become a passive homosexual who could be raped,” said Mr Murray, adding that tattoos are sometimes applied to inmates by force...
As well as checking for tattoos, their list of ways to investigate a recruit’s sexuality includes asking whether they have a girlfriend, asking to describe their sexual experiences, and questioning whether they think faithfulness is important.

They're entering a whole new level of crazy with this one. I'd be the first to jump at the chance of perusing gay Russian military men's equipment in the bedroom, but someone pretty high up is way to concerned about gay people. Just saying.
