PUBLIC ATTRACTION, PRIVATE PLEASURES

Hijras (transvestites) entertain at a wedding celebration. In Pakistan, due to strict Islamic cultural rules forbidding women from public appearances, many boys dress up as hijras and entertain men. Many Pakistan male sex workers who dress as females are transvestites, not transsexuals. While many live together in a group, others are married and support children by selling sexual entertainment.
