MADRAS,, India — India is a land of strange contradictions. It is where the "Kama Sutra" was written centuries ago. It is also where some of world's most renowned erotic sculptures are found in sacred Hindu temples. Yet, kissing is frowned upon in cinema, and any form of man-woman intimacy is discouraged in public.
In a nation where women once showed off their feminine attributes, today they are asked to dress in a fashion that would put the Taliban to shame.
Sex may pervade many aspects of life in India — in its folk music, classical dances, literature and in its very way of living — yet the nation of a billion-plus people appears coy when it comes to sex education.
