Escorts In China

[+ Avalon]

I was surprised to see in Daddy's Reviews today that there was an escort from Beijing, Red China. I thought that both prostitution and homosexuality would be illegal there in that version of the workers paradise.

There are plenty of brothels with women escorts in China. I'd be surprised if there weren't any male brothels.

There are lots of web based male escort services in China, in almost all the major cities. Service quality varies though. And homosexuality is now legal in China.

Plus, the concept of “Red China” has been obsolete for 40 years. You probably have been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh. Dongguan, a medium sized city in Guangdong province, was called the sex capital of China. Its “service industry” has optimized and standardized the entire sexual service practice into minute details (like MacDonald’s), which were then copied by any self-respecting brothels throughout the rest of the country.

I still think of Beijing as Peking.

Well, prostitution is. But escorting is just providing companionship, which is legal. You pay for their time.

Then if they like you, something else might happen. At least that is how you can advertise and get reviews.

I posed the question of how the younger generation regarded same sex hook ups in modern China while touring Beijing. The tour guide made it clear that younger Chinese found absolutely no fault with homosexuality. This also sounded like the answer meant for tour guides to deliver. So I asked how he, the tour guide, would react if another guy showed sexual interest in him. At that point all hell by way of homophobic reaction was expressed. On the surface. China is extremely modern and even ultra capitalist but scratch the surface and traditional values bubble up.

On that admission alone your ticket to post about history should be revoked.

 

Your idea of history is a contextless method of reliving perceived past glories of European/Western/white civilization.

 

When my daughter visited China in 2011 on a school trip, the churchgoing girl she stayed with over the weekend they spent at students' homes didn't bat an eye at the idea that she was attracted to girls as well as boys.

 

It's just as likely that homophobia is Maoist as anything else. Confucianism would condemn homosexuality, but Buddhism doesn't, or at least not necessarily. (Buddhism condemns sexual misconduct.)

I am a product of "European/Western/white civilization" and by George am proud of it!!!

Both Peking and Beijing are the same characters written in chinese. It is just a different pronunciation in English. Both mean Northern Capital. Whereas “Nanking” or Nanjing refers to the southern capital.

Yes, I believe Jerry Ford was president.

 

Why would you brag about being forty years behind most everyone one else?

From what you have written, your mother was a truly wonderful person.

She had her problems; she became a diabetic a few years after I was born and that changed her personality.

My brother was only ten when our dad passed away. Our mother never remarried, and lived till age 91. Still, he has never gotten over his death. My brother has blocked every thing that happened in the days after dad's death, including our Uncle's brief presence from a jury on a murder trial. He could only speak to our mom and nobody else. And a guard came with him.

Your reasons for being proud of it are dumb and racist. I challenge you to articulate one drawback to Western culture or the culture of your ethnic forebears. Don't pretend any human group is above critique.

 

Instead of posting here so much, take an online history course from a reputable college. You might learn something. Otherwise your purported love of history is just a cover for your white supremacy.

 

P.S. Here's an example: British foreign policy in the late 19th century amounted to running a drug cartel (Opium Wars). Koreans are comfortable with snap judgment. The Irish have a higher incidence of alcohol dependency than other groups and the IRA is both right in its politics and a terrorist organization. (I would feel differently if they had only targeted British soldiers and police.) Germans value order and efficiency but not always lives.

 

Yes, part of my ethnic heritage is European. It is no skin off my nose to recognize the ways in which that heritage is tainted. Although I am not Chinese, if I believed in the concept of best instead of different, I would say the paradigmatic civilization (not country) is Chinese considering how long their history is and how many firsts they achieved: first civil service, emphasis on scholarship over partisanship and class, love of art and beautiful things, prioritizing strategy over brute force, and early and possibly first restaurants, which requires the existence of a leisure class.

No, it is broke. Using a better pronunciation is showing respect. Or is it just people who are different from you to whom you don't give respect?

 

I guess that if you had a trans friend you would either insist on using their dead name or would want to, and you'd be reluctant to use correct pronouns. Which means you're not a true friend.

@Avalon, stop feeling sorry for yourself and stop living in the past.

 

My mother died unexpectedly when I was 15. I did not let that keep me from growing up or changing.

 

In addition to taking an online course, you might benefit from therapy via telephone. Being that stuck in the past, and treating it as inevitable, is not healthy.

One of England's greatest gifts to the world is the spread of the English language throughout the world.

 

The entire Indian subcontinent was united for the first time in history by the British. That said I think the Partition was one of the greatest mistakes of the 20th century.

 

I think it was wrong to turn Hong Kong over to Communist China. The treaty was made with Imperial China not Communist China.

I will call a person by whatever name they want or use whatever pronoun they want.

The big research university in the capital is still called "Peking University."
