It was not silk and spices or any other commercial product that kept Marco Polo in China for years and have continued to attract huge numbers of people (especially men!) to the Orient. It was the sensual side of Asian cultures, particially the charms of young women, says the author of this book. [China, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines have more beautiful women per capita than any Western country, he adds, and has obviously made a detailed study of the subject--his books include Women of the Orient!). This account explains why so many Western men prefer the charms of Asian women to women from their own ethnic and cultural groups.
