i dont' know about westernize culture is about guy w/earring except dat it consider a hot fashion tend but i know for a fact cuz i got this from my vacation last year to visit my homeland . Anywho , my mom side of the family are farmer living in the countryside and i have a cousin who really in to Thai stars and she was telling me about dis star and so and so and den she mention why this one thai actor have to wear earring and i ask her is there a problem cuz it a fashion tend for guys now a day . My cousin den say over here in the countryside guy with one ear ring on his ear mean he have only 1 Ball . LOLLLLL!!!! If he wear both earring dat mean he have no ball . It kind like a belief or a traditional medical treatment for guy dat lost one of his ball or born with 1 ball he have to wear a earring for the side he doesn't have a ball so dat it will "complete" him ... like to balance him so he won't tip over or something. I thought dat was the hilarious thing ever !
