Contradictory, bewildering, revolutionary and hypocritical, Red-Light Nights, Bangkok Daze is a collection of articles on the complex and fascinating world of sex in Asia.
For the past few years, the multicolored canvas of sex and sexuality in Asia has been portrayed in all its aspects—the good, the bad and the ugly—by William Sparrow on his website AsianSexGazecte.com. Asian sex sites abound, of course, but ASG shunned pornography and blazed a new trail: "sex journalism", a rare attempt at honest, agenda-free coverage and analysis of actual news events linked to the sex trade and sex practices in general, on the world's largest, most populous and most diverse continent.
