Sexuality & Perception...

Through this blog, I will share with you all, the metrosexuality trends in Mumbai. I will share about the trends in my college. Since I have come to Mumbai, I have observed so many examples in colleges, public places etc.

I remember my first day at Xaviers, it was a total disaster as my whole mind set got altered after spending more or less half an hour in the canteen. For me a guy wearing big earings with pumped hairs and pierced eyebrows was entirely unthinkable. Although I have seen feminist males in T.V serials but never thought of facing them in reality.

I think students, youth and general public are getting influenced by T.V serials or lives of celebrities and incorporating them in their real life due to which, in some cases, they end up being more inclined to their own sex.

Discussions on this issue are rather stormy in the West today. Today not only popular stars like David Bowie, David Backham and Philip Stark are inclined to metro sexuality, but even ordinary men in developed countries adhere to the new cult. It is quite natural that, like in the West, the cult will gain great popularity in this country as well.

What is metro sexuality in fact?

A normal man who embraces the homosexual lifestyle, that is, refined tastes in clothing, excessive use of designer hygiene products, etc. Usually, he is on the brink of homosexuality.
In the US, we think men all have to be either dumb gorillas or homosexuals. There is some grey area!

There is an emphasis on not being pretentious in America that itself becomes a kind of pretentiousness. Men who dabble in vanity or in lofty romantic concerns seem less like men when, in fact, they are probably better lovers to women than their traditional counterpart.


Somehow post-2000, the entire television programming in India changed dramatically with regressive soap operas ruling the roost and the channel executives exercising their creative control over every aspect of the project. The director was lost in this corruption of creativity and the race for TRPs..

There has been lots of chatter, lately, about metro sexual maleness. According to the latest TV shows, feminized men and queers are necessary to direct poor, blighted, heterosexual guys to the nearest stylish closet and shave, and queers are the only ones who "get it" when it comes to overall trend-setting and lifestyle enhancement.


Not only in TV shows but also in Indian films this topic has been included which gain interest of many general public. Sridhar Rangayan is the Director of The Pink Mirror (Gulabi Aaina), India's first film about the trans-genders. The queens in Gulabi Aaina give dance performances to the accompaniment of tawaif (courtesan) music from different Bollywood films including Umrao Jaan.
The Delhi Censor Board refused to give this film a censor certificate, rejecting the film in its entirety, with not even any cuts or changes suggested. They termed the film 'full of obscenity and vulgarity'.
Indian cinema has occasionally broken free of the formula-driven heterosexual mode with films like Mahesh Bhatt's Tamana (about hijras--India's traditional transgender community) and Mahesh Dattani's Mango Souffle.


Metro sexuality is spreading fast. And somewhere, TV is also responsible for spreading it. There are many channels showing such issues. And even general public is accepting such bold topics.


At present ‘K’ serials are very popular. If we see the characters, at least we find them portraying a metro sexual man.
