Hotels gladly service increasing requests from newlyweds for titillating literature and movie DVDs in their honeymoon suites

Newlyweds are abandoning traditional honeymoon suite aphrodisiacs like badam milk, rum chocolates and

oysters for sex magazines and DVDs.






S P Jain, proprietor, Pride Group of Hotels, and president, Hotel and Restaurant Association, Western India, said his group also provides DVD players, music players and romantic movies to honeymooning couples. "But we don't supply porn," explained Jain.

Ambassador Hotel at Churchgate, which earlier kept books on AIDS and safe sex, has however, stopped doing so. "We no longer keep the books in the rooms, but we continue to provide them to guests on demand," said Koustav Mukherjee, food and beverage manager, Ambassador Hotel.

Shubhada Joshi, a member of Travel Agents Association of India, confirmed the trend. "The sensual and emotional fantasies of Indian couples are shaped and fuelled by movies made in Hollywood and Bollywood. The movies also help them unwind and become more open about what they want from their partners," said Joshi.u00a0

Deven Bharti, additional commissioner of police, said demands for magazines and movies are perfectly legal as long as the content is registered and approved by the Censor Board.

Usual demands made by couples
Badam milk, bigger bed, bigger bathroom or a bathtub, chocolates, wine, bed decoration, torch, romantic movies, candle light dinner, spa and room away from lifts
