Imagination has no bounds

At work, I get to profile books. Lots of books, actually. It's a nerd's dream come true, except you don't really get to choose which books you look up on the internet. Every now and then, you get books like The Monsters of Templeton, which I want to read, and often times, you have to look up a book like PHP Web Development with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, which is not as exciting. But every now and then, you stumble upon a little gem of a book like The Kitchen Kama Sutra.

When I saw it, I thought it was a cook book, because I was in a cook book mood. I had just finished profiling a bunch of cook books, and for some reason thought this particular book would be one because it had the word "Kitchen" in it. So I clicked on it to investigate.

It's not a cook book.

Just to illustrate, an excerpt from the book description:

A Lover’s Guide to Domestic Bliss.

Is there anything sexy about a washing machine? Does an armchair, more often associated with napping than nookie, fill the heart with lust? No, you say? Well, Kitchen Kama Sutra will give you a whole new perspective about the space in your home- from the coatrack by the front door to the space beneath the basement stairs- and bring a whole new meaning to the term “domestic bliss.”

Taking the themes and lessons of the Kama Sutra to a place never before explored, the Kitchen Kama Sutra offers up erotic games and scenarios that will turn every room in your home into a scene fit for seduction. Learn how to:
- Use your staircase as your platform to create The Marjara (“The Cat”)
- Turn your bathroom into a warm, wet, relaxing hideaway
- Make your cooking extra spicy with The Tiger’s Claw
- Reinvent your living room as a courtesan’s palace

With creative ideas that cater to both the timid and the bold, you and your partner are sure to find yourselves heating up the kitchen, sharing bliss at bath time, savoring lust in the living room, and quickly turning your humdrum household into a saucy lovers’ den.

After reading this, I only had one question. The coat rack by the front door? Are you serious?! (Ok, that's two questions).

I doubt that Dantzel and I will need a book as "saucy" as this one to spice up our love life when we're married, but I half contemplated buying this book, as my only oh-so-human characteristic called curiousity continued to wonder (to no avail) how one could use a coat rack to enhance the act of making love past realistic and logical expectations, as this book claims.

It's probably something best left alone.
