India may have produced the world's most famous sex manual in the Kama Sutra, but the country is still inhibited when it comes to talking openly about sex, says an intimacy coach who lives there. She says she only discovered self-pleasure in her early thirties and now wants to encourage other people to talk more freely about sex, saying it's still the 'elephant in the room' in many Indian households. 'People think that if we talk about sex, we're actually talking about porn and people don't want to be associated with porn so they don't talk about it.' She says the Kama Sutra, believed to have been written in India around 1,600 years ago, has been exploited and unlikely to be found in many modern households. 'We're the land of the Kama Sutra but we're as ignorant as people in any other country.
