/> Dino Morea has never been afraid to address himself to his sexuality. In fact a year back he did a photo-session in a wet sarong in Goa that ranks as the most explicit ever by a male Bollywood actor.

Dino is game for more of the same. "I'm aware that photo-shoot went a little further than I had thought. But it was aesthetically done. Moreover fans like to see that kind of a thing. I don't mind being their object of fantasy at all.

In fact my new website— dinomorea.net—which I started for my birthday (December 9) has a lot of my very candid pictures. Fans will see me the way I am, and sometimes that may mean more of me than normally meets the eye," Dino chuckles.

The ebullient actor who turned 32 has no inhibitions about being a gay icon. "Male or female, it's flattering to be fodder for fantasy. Any celebrity who claims otherwise is lying. I love the thought of people out there getting turned on by me. Isn't providing pleasure the no.1 objective of an entertainer?"

Dino says he has no qualms about stripping. "But with a reason. I won't just take off my clothes for the heck of it. In Raaz I took off my shirt and had my chest being pawed. My website will have pictures of me at home, the way I am, in shorts...or out of it, ha ha.

It'll be hugely interactive website where I'll be in touch with fans 24 by 7. I'll answer all their questions, no matter how frank. But nothing lurid, please. We're a family –oriented society, y'know."

Dino is a pucca family man. To prove it, he headed home to Bangalore to be with his mum and dad for his birthday. "There's no pleasure greater than family. In any case birthdays are a bit of an anti-climax for me. I don't enjoy them. The cakes and candles are not my scene. Nor do I like to party on my birthday. I just like to be with my folks."

Did he make any birthday wishes? "Yes I want my production house to get going as soon as possible. The director and script are in place. Now I'm casting. I want big names."

Dino's brother Santino won't be in the first home production. "But he's getting ready for the big bang. He has lost plenty of weight and is looking like a million bucks. I think I'll soon have stiff competition at home."

Any marriage plans? "I'm only 32. Why do I need to get married? People get married mostly for one thing. And I'm getting plenty of that."
