If you actually read Burton's famous 'Terminal' essay on the zone, he says that while endemic in Pakistan, 'le vice' is extremely uncommon in the Hindu regions of India especially the south, where it is looked on as an inexcuable crime.

It's really just the Islamic ones because they remove the foreskins by which they perma-expose the male glans which drives males to stick their open dicks into whatever they can find. Women, other men, children, goats, wasp nests, you name it. Hellenistic pederasty is mostly a myth as far I can tell, rooted in the assumption of Aegean local norms as applicable to the whole of Greek culture.

Why won't Indians realize that they look nothing like Meds and will never be considered to be even remotely like meds because people have actual eyes that can see?
