I agree. The persisting "abuse" the Orthodox HERE get over it, can be boggling. Who cares about the truth when the put-down is SO much more amusing. You can just keep on telling this story to yet another generation of kids, and put down "those primitive religious" while you're at it.
The usual story is that the [Ultra]-Orthodox use these "sheets with a hole in them" to have "ultra-modest" sex with. There are "only" three major problems with this claim:
If so, why would ALL males over the age of 3-4 wear them all day long (rather much overkill of "Be Prepared" ??). I've actually taken mine off a few times to demonstrate this point, mostly before I was married (when I wasn't supposed to be having sex in any case).
One is actually required to be fully naked during sex.
Judging by the size of the "holes" in these "sheets" (you get your head through them), Orthodox men must be REALLY well endowed, otherwise a hole that big makes the "sheet" rather futile as a covering.
