Which is considered most exotic...a Geisha or an Indian Princess (India circa 16th century)?

Question

I ask this because after seeing both "Memoirs of a Geisha" (2005) and Indira Varma's "Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love" (1996), I've found the Indian dances and style of dress to be the most exotic. It encouraged me to not only learn the historic Indian dances to pleasantly surprise my darling hubby but to ask my mother-in-law to bring me back some of those "genie" outfits (tummy-bearing) from India! ! Ladies, if you had the choice, which would you rather learn to be skillful at? Being a Geisha or learning the 16th Century Indian dances (wear they wear the infamous genie outfits) and why? (Men can answer too--at least which one you prefer!)

Answer 1

I think it is the difference in the culture itself. The Indian culture is more exuberate and ostentatious. The Japanese culture is more reserved and demure. I think men will find both attractive based on what they are aroused by. The Geisha is a perfect doll, while the Belly Dancers are temptrest. The idea behind the Belly Dancing is simple...to be erotic, but it is only an act, not constant. Geisha is a way of life. They are both sensual, exotic, and very powerful figures.

I know that did not explicitly answer your question, but I hope my answer has shown you that there is a larger difference between the two.
