Just a quick note regarding the use of the forbidden B-word and its implications. In Asia, especially in those countries that have strongly adopted Confucian values from the Chinese, you are not technically a man unless you are married and/or have begotten offspring.
Even if you died unmarried at the age of 80, you would still be considered a b% and, technically, a virgin. you would be buried with the same funeral rites as those of a child...unless there was proof that you'd sired one out of wedlock.
Which is why, if you cruise gay dating sites, you'll find so many 30, 40 and 50-year-old Asian men unashamedly referring to themselves as "b%s"
