Persian men

[Rudynate]

The "Arab" label seems especially divisive. I've often accidentally offended Arabic-speaking escorts (mostly North African in Europe) by calling them Arab.

 

 

Just don't discuss ethnicity and its smooth sailing. I have always noticed that, if I avoid talking about something, I think of it less and less until I hardly think about at all. It's that way with ethnicity. I barely think about it.

The whole Persia/Persian People/Persian Language vs Iran/Iranian People/Farsi Language is interesting. In 1935 for a whole bevy of reasons the Persian government decided to change the country’s name from Persia to Iran. Iran is, in fact, the Persian/Farsi word for Persia. The entire issue is a little like the difference between Peking (European) and Beijing (Chinese). During the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution (1978-1979) many followers of the deposed Shah escaped the country and did not want to be associated, in any way, with the new government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Many Iranian refugees, at that time, resorted to calling themselves Persians. That tendency to make the change became even stronger after the U.S. Embassy Hostage Crisis of 11/4/1979 to 1/20/1981.

 

It is my understanding that anybody whose national origin is the country of Iran is Iranian and speaks Farsi. Of course the bottom line is they can call themselves anything they damn well please.

Persian carpets

Carpet weaving is an essential part of the Persian culture, and Persian rugs are said to be one of the most detailed hand-made works of art.

 

Achaemenid rug and carpet artistry is well recognized. Xenophon describes the carpet production in the city of Sardis, stating that the locals take pride in their carpet production. A special mention of Persian carpets is also made by Athenaeus of Naucratis in his Deipnosophistae, as he describes a "delightfully embroidered" Persian carpet with "preposterous shapes of griffins".

 

I want to have sex with a Persian stud on a Persian rug embroidered with griffins with Persian cats on the side watching. Can anyone make that happen for me ?

Not everyone speaks Farsi as their first language, they make up about 60% of the population. About 20% are Azeri (a Turkic language) and 10% are Kurdish. There are smaller groups of Arabs and Turkmen amongst others. The history of Iran/Persia is complicated with all sorts of nuance both implicit and explicit. When I was in the UK in the late 70s, the Daily Telegraph still referred to the country as Persia.

Arad is Persian and will correct you if you say he is Iranian.

I can't tell the difference between Persians and Arabs. Generally, that part of the world produces some startingly sexy men.

I am currently readying Iran: A Modern History by Abbas Amanat. Considered by many to be the best book out on the subject; it came out in 2017. It is 900 pages long, incredibly through and not all that easy a read but very interesting. After 200 pages I've only reached the beginning of the 19th century. I recommend it if you are at all interested in the subject.

I've been around them. It's nothing like southern California but the SF Bay area has a Persian community as well, mostly in the East Bay and the South Bay. Plenty of Persian engineers in Silicon Valley.

 

I had a mad crush on a Persian. He was studying filmmaking at SF State and worked at a restaurant I frequented. He was kind of skinny, painfully handsome, and had a thick mat of black chest hair, which he showed off by leaving his shirt unbuttoned to the center of his chest.

In my college days, one of my dorm mates was a member of the Iranian royal family. He was incredibly cute and and sweet. He expected to have a political career back in Teheran, but the revolution changed that. He ended up as a gastroenterologist in Dallas.

Just stumbled upon this thread. This man is so sexy but I had no idea who he was. Fortunately an image search revealed it's Davood Ghadami, who is apparently well known "across the pond" but perhaps not so much in the USA.

Huge Persian community in SoCal. There are also lots of Persians in Silicon Valley - San Jose, Santa Clara, etc., but nothing like LA.

Lot of Christian and Jewish Persians in Cali. that got away when Iran turned.
