Asians....prudish?

Guess what I found....News and Analysis of Human Sexuality in Asia

One of the notable mention is "Casanovas for hire in Japan". Another professes to be the Chinese Kafka, refer to "China's unrepentant bare-assed blogger".

The Chinese Kafka? Definitly not based on similarities of the butt....

Perhaps she is confused about the use of the adjective "kafkaesque", which has come into common use to denote mundane yet absurd and surreal circumstances of the kind commonly found in Kafka's work. Or is she taking on an interpretation of Existentialism too liberally?

Somehow i think "kafkaesque", the Kafka mystique and his words have been so broodly interpreted that we have labeled stuff that are badly written or badly represented (stuff so bad that we don't understand or profess to understand) to be "kafkaesque"

Anyhow have fun with the website.....Asians aren't prudish! We all have our hidden sides!
