Status: offline 		why aren't the Indian members interacting much on forums? plus most of them are looking for just online play and so many profiles are fake. Aren't there any serious east Indian BDSMers

Status: offline 		I daresay a lot of Indian folks (including the OP) are better at written English than most native born Americans.

Unfortunately, that isn't saying a hell of a lot.

All my Indians coworkers.

Some are in India and some have recently come to the US.

certainly there are well educated Indian people (US corps wouldnt be able to outsource to there if they werent) but as a percentage of the entire population, how many are? same thing with Asia or Latin America.. I am just saying that for many (not all, of course), there is a language barrier.. I dont think its only cuz this is a bdsm site, most other sites i have been on are the same, very few if any from those countries... the possible exception that i have found are sites that primarily discuss immigration/expat issues..

eta- another possible reason is that its cultural.. not all Indians, Asians, etc want to integrate, they may prefer to stay in their own culture.. I dunno.. I have never travelled to those countries so my views are more from those people that i have met in North America.. unless they are young and well educated, they stay within their own communities.. btw, i have been on sites that were mostly Indian posters.. they do have their own websites also.. I wonder if they ask why there arent many Americans posting on those websites.. again, few Americans speak anything other than english so would not be able to communicate if the site wasnt also in english..

eta- this is interesting- I dont really think 11,000 hits from India is a lot, given the population there.. there are Indian bdsm sites tho so maybe those are preferable to international sites..
"Details of BDSM are mostly conveyed through the Internet, often with pseudonyms, for couples are wary of social censure, the law and stalkers. “Unnatural” sex is punishable by law under section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. Few figures are available on how prevalent BDSM is in India, but dozens of Indian sites cater to the interests of the community. One international site on BDSM has had over 11,000 hits from India."

Status: offline 		most people from india who come online are okay with English but i guess they might have issues with the slang and american phrases. I think one issue is that there are many fake ids and secondly most subs are male. I think its more of a cultural thing
