Danny-Darko Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, kko123 said: This isn’t uncommon among Bollywood actors in Mumbai currently usually somewhere between 1-5k USD for a meeting. I don't doubt that some Bollywood actors on their early rise to fame might agree to a discreet "Meet & Greet" while having a polite cup of tea with a fan of some means. But for that to transition to the fans bedroom so he can perform a naked bhangra in and around the bed might not be his understanding of "meeting" with a fan. It's probably happens, but for it to be "not uncommon" I wouldn't be so sure. We'd probably would have heard a lot more whispers about it since $1-5K USD is not really all that much for a very wealthy person especially with the Gulf States and EAST Asia so close by. In the west somebody who regularly hires at $350 per hr, 1k+ would be like an overnight or a weekend on the higher end of 5k! Mumbai would be commonplace "sex tourism" for wealthy gay/bi men. Now if the "fan" were a director, a producer or could influence his career then that would be a completely different story. That happens all the time everywhere! In the west female actresses once achieving fame and wealth, and unsuccessful or washed-up male actors are calling it #metoo now.

I think it's more common to refer to the region south of the Himalayas and from Pakistan to Bangladesh as South Asia. South East Asia is more commonly used to refer to the countries on the mainland from Burma to Vietnam, and the archipelagic states including Indonesia and the Philippines (but not Papua New Guinea). + FrankR, Marc in Calif, Danny-Darko and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine if somebody said they wanted to decorate their master bedroom Oriental style? The world would end from all the hullaballoo it would cause.

I always thought Oriental was fine in reference to things, but not to people. So I would describe a room decorated in the Oriental style. But I'm old, so what do I know?

The new P.C. perspective: "Rugs are Oriental / People are Asian" ( Although Americans NEVER understand when you group Indians in with Asians when you're talking about ethnicity ) To an American when you say "Asian" you mean EAST Asian. (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese etc) It's a stupid habit to lump three obviously different ethnic groups together. East Asian / South Asian and / South East Asian are very different people ( all with sub sets of differences within the major grouping ) Danny-Darko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Hagen Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 12 years ago there was a very popular escort in LA. I did a threesome with him a few times. Hunky guy. Nice guy. One day I was at the Gay Starbucks (RIP) and he was seated with a group, and it was both clear it was an important meeting and also clear I was not supposed to recognize or talk to him. I did not. Less than a year later I was watching some random, just ok, gay mainstream movie, and he wasn't the star, but he had a major role. After I finished the movie, I imdb'd him, he'd done a lot. I clicked on his name this morning, and he's still working, in acting, but I haven't seen him on the escort sites for some time. + glennnnn and la_connor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuriousByNature Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) I love geography discussions. I tend to consider the following: East Asia: Most of China, Taiwan, Japan, the Koreas South East Asia: Southern fringe of China, including Hainan, Macao and Hong Kong, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, East Timor, and the Philippines South Asia: Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan Central Asia: The rest of the 'stan' countries Western Asia: Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, most of Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories, Kuwait, and the nations of the Arabian peninsula. Northern Asia: Siberian Russia, Mongolia, Northern fringe of China including Northern Manchuria As for the term 'Oriental', I stopped using that term to refer to people of Asian background once I realized how silly it would be to call myself 'Occidental'.

Yes you're absolutely right! I remember on my first trip to Israel right out of high school in early 1980, Israelis used to talk about the Oriental culture and Oriental food etc... At first I was confused because being from the USA growing up in the 60's/70's for me the Orent was a lot further east. Then I remembered it's how the British referred to anything east of the Mediterranean basin historically. Today Israel has lost its old European Jewish flavor and instead the terms Middle Eastern or Arabic/Israeli are used in place of Oriental.
