Mainstream Actors Escorting

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.

Mumbai is so close to Asia. In another news flash, France is so close to Europe... 😄

India is Southeast Asia. Asia is huge and I was referring to east Asia, what used to be referred to as "the Orient" which is no longer PC in the USA to call it such since younger generations looking to be offended and slighted by something jumped on the bandwagon and decided "oriental" was offensive. 🙄

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).

Is the term Asia Minor still in use? I used to think of India and Pakistan as that. But never been to the region so just remember references in literature.

Asia Minor was generally used to refer to the Anatolian peninsula (most of what is now the Asian part of Türkiye) but I don't think the term is in common usage any more. (Apparently, Asia Minor was earlier a Roman province in Western Anatolia.)

(The term 'The Orient' in English usage was originally used for Palestine, what is now Lebanon and Syria (now included in the Middle East). China and Japan, even in my lifetime, were referred to as the Far East.)

And now we can return to the subject at hand (or we can dream that they are), mainstream actors escorting.

It drives me nuts that decorating shows now use the term 'principal' bedroom because 'master' bedroom is un-PC.

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?

In summary

You like decorating shows  and Batman, but  don't like the Superbowl  or  Ethel Merman in Annie Get Your Gun and Gypsy on Broadway

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 )

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.

I'm still not sure to which countries you were referring. Did you mean China, Japan, and South Korea?

Only in areas where there's a lot of copper, gold, or other mineral and ore deposits.

Since I live in Ontario, I consider Quebec and the Maritimes to be the Orient.

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'.

If it meant I'd get to see a young Brad Pitt strip and give me a lap dance (or more) .. I'd do drag to get in the door. 😜

Yes it is but few in North America use it for lack a geographical knowledge.

Many of them since you want to nitpick. A lot of people with money now live all over Asia. Some still think of Asia being impoverished but many very wealthy live in places like Singapore, Malaysia, China, Korea, Brunei and other countries. 🙄

Somebody should think about making a movie about all those rich Asians.  Some of them are probably crazy.

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.
