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

The Kuwaiti regime criminalises homosexuality under its 'debauchery' law and can hold lengthy prison sentences.

Cross-dressing is also illegal in the Gulf state.
