"Although homosexual sex is a crime in India _ and prejudices remain widespread _ 37 per cent of men surveyed said they'd had at least one homosexual experience."
Well, that could mean anything. They could have attended a performance of A Chorus Line, or held their wife's purse while waiting for her to try on a sari at Macys. Or went ice skating. Who knows what they consider a "homosexual experience"? I consider patting a teammate's ass during a football game pretty gay. Is that a "homosexual experience"?
It is if it's done right!

That explains why Bombay Dreams ran so long on Broadway.

Wait, "straight" guys pick up chorus boys after shows? Straight guys GO to shows? Do they wait by the stage door and ask for an autograph and a bj?
About the whole "homosexual act" thing- it's tricky to define what that constitutes to them. Straight men who are friends often hold hands walking down the street.
one must consider that in traditional indian culture boys and girls are kept separated until quite a late age, many probably until marriage. boys do things like dance together because dancing with a girl is not allowed. i would imagine that many indian males end up having at least one "homosexual experience" by "default" because of this phenomenon. i wonder if indeed most of the same-sex experiences reported happened at a young age.
i first read this thread as "$0% if Indiana Men...."
I first read this thread title: Almost 40% of Indina's Man Had Gay Sex. Naturally, I wondered what 40% of Taye was gay.
Next time i am on the phone i will have to ask...
Next time i am on the phone i will have to ask how true this is...
Interesting. Well, I like gay. I like Indian.
Unlike some around here.
It can be a little too spicy for me at times, but I rather like Indian, myself.
(He says hello, btw, and wonders when you and yon Other Half will be coming over for din-din again.)
If he's cooking gay Indian food again, you name the date, since I'm not always allowed gay and Indian, much less at the same time.
Well, that is ABHORRENT, darling.
You know that homosexually-oriented Subcontinental-cuisine dinners (PARTICULARLY as functions of one's fete de naissance!) are ALWAYS welcome in my (spacious and tastefully appointed, if I do say) home.
I mean, after all, we did gay Indian on MY birthday, as you well know...who's to say we can't repeat the experience on a lark for a dear friend?
I'll bring the champers.
mmmm and then West Indian. yum yum
I don't know. I thin I heard somewhere that West Indian might be worse than Indian and gay combined!
Do NOT make me put my foot in a pot up in here...
I am not afraid to throw down with some rice and peas, honey.
WHERE have you people gone?
Is there going to be a samosa food fight?
We went that and back again, which apparently isn't a hobbit's tale any longer.
mmmm, samosas.

Let's get back to that 40% of Indian men.
Love4Cheno, what percent of them do you think are acquainted with the teaching of the Kama Sutra and Tantric Sex? In my experience, with my limited sampling of two, I would have to estimate 50%.
But, boy-oh-boy, could that boy Tantra!

Sondheim's subsequently cut contribution to the score of Bombay Dreams?
Sting's famous anser to the reporter's question about just how long the Tantric sex Sting and his wife Trudie had could last:
"Sometimes 7 or 8 hours...including dinner and a movie."
PalJoey- I think you hit the rupee-mine on yours.
Most Indians (in India, at least) don't even speak of or mention sex openly.
This is the country in which an actress, once married, often retires from the film industry, as it is taboo for men to find a married woman desirable.
