Asians in general don't have much problem with male to male or female to
female displays of affection although they might find male-female public
displays uncomfortable. Personally, I don't like any of my pals coming
near me and shrink away from any physical contact with them at all
unless we're doing something manly like working on car brakes or playing
rugby. Of course, who the hell plays rugby?
My gut feeling is that people's attitude about this will change in the
future i.e., the Asians will start to see that male to male contact is a
basic affront to one's masculinity. :-)
