Red light area
If you've ever eaten at an opulent Chinese diner, you'd clearly remember the sensuous red tint that seemed to fill the entire area, thanks to rare, crafted hanging lamps. Mock the effect in your bedroomu00a0many furnishing stores would offer you different options to do up the bed-space in intense ruby-hued rays. We promise it'd pump up the passion pronto!
Larger than life
Low and lonely? An East-Asian blow up doll would do the trick. Life-sized and lovely, these plastic playmates come in various shapes and sizes, so you can take a pick from whatever fits your fantasy the best. Where to find them? The Net, if not our very own Palika Bazaar.
Hentai is a Japanese genre of sexually explicit comics and animation that can go a long way in arousing you and your partner, provided you share an interest in perverted reading. The series also has plenty of queer action for those who have alternate inclinations.u00a0
Ever heard of a sex fest? It happens in China every year, and over 50,000 people attend it to see what's the latest sex stuff up for grabs. Since we assume you haven't been lucky enough to attend the Sex Culture Festival yet, you might as well lay your hands on a popular inventionu00a0the 'erotic butterfly,' designed especially for women. The vibrator flutters its way inside you to give pleasure. Wondering where you can go fishing? The Web, of course!

Go geisha
Sexy scarlet lips, fairytale kimonos and a passionate performance can go a long way in wooing your man. Give the traditional thick, white face foundation a miss, since the aim is to seduce, not entertain. Get your hair poker-straightened, stretch the kohl strokes up your eyelids and start with the traditional tea ceremonyu00a0only this time, make sure what you're pouring out isn't jasmine tea but whiskey. Use Holly hit Memoirs of a Geisha for better visual guidance.u00a0u00a0
Historical high
If you've had enough of the desi Kamasutra, seek inspiration from the China Sex Museum in Tongli, that puts on view 1500 exhibits that cover 9000 years of Chinese sexual history. The extremely explicit installments are divided into 4 categories: Prehistoric times, Women and marriage, Sex in everyday life and Unconventional sexual behaviour.
