Here is a study of heterosexual desire and practices of Indian women, especially from non-metropolitan areas. In the process, it counters some of the stereotypes of Indian women generated over the last century by colonial perceptions and policies, but also nationalist narratives of authenticity, and scholarship on gender in the post-colonial era. No longer figures of piety whose main job is to affirm the self-representation of western (or westernized) women as sexually liberated, women from the small towns of India here come across as sexual agents in their own right.
As the intimacy level increases, the gap declines between big and smaller towns. Data on unmarried women who had kissed a person of the opposite sex and those who kissed for the first time between the ages of 16 and 18 shows that women from non-metros are on a par with their metro counterparts in pursuing romantic interaction with the opposite sex.
"The INDIA TODAY-Nielsen Sex Survey of four metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai) as well as 12 towns (Hisar, Moradabad, Kota, Kolhapur, Jamnagar, Ratlam, Salem, Kottayam, Guntur, Asansol, Baleshwar and Aizawl) throws up some interesting facts about how people from India's small towns behave between the sheets.The 10th annual sex survey highlights the state of India's sexual health in the country's far flung extremities. However, what came off the survey are startling facts that you did not know. Here are some that we have compiled from an excerpt put up by India Today and some from Sandip Roy's article in the First post."- The survey has found that a remarkably high level of respondents (79 per cent) from Mizoram's capital Aizawl reported a satisfactory sex life.
