Sush!
"I am too careful
to get pregnant.
If it happened accidentally,
I may just decide
to have my lover's Baby!"

Just How Sexually Liberated is
Sushmita Sen! She was the perfect choice of our questionnaire. Bold, uninhibited, give-a-damn, Sush has always been a frank and forthright woman of the nineties who tells it like it is and minces no words. When it came to talk (and that includes sex talk) the 'Sen'-suous former queen of the Universe has never been one to hold back or do a coy number. Typical hindi film heroine she ain't.

So when she breezed in for our photo-session, hair flowing, stunning in tight blue jeans and a white halter-top and was unceremoniously confronted with the bold questionnaire, Sush did'nt let us down. There was no double-takes, no shocked gasps, no demurring. Her only scream was one of pure excitement. "I'm game!" she yelled excitedly. And then proceeded to scan the questions, giggling loudly she did so, blushing occassionally at the odd question, protesting, "These are too bold even for me!"

But sport that she is, Sush obligingly answered each and every question and did'nt cry off a single one, no matter how bold she may have found it.

Readers, a suggestion for you. If you want to find out how sexually liberated you are, do the questionnaire along with Sushmita. Discover as you go along whether you're deliciously abandoned - capable of letting go under almost any circumstances, or whether you're the type who freezes when faced with a night of love play! Believe us, it'll be fun to find out.

To get back to Sushmita, the cover-shoot was barely through when she demanded a Polaroid to show her "baby". We were flummoxed. Baby? Turned out Sush was referring to her boyfriend. "After making me fill out this questionnaire, you've reminded me of him," she told us. "So now I'm rushing off to him!" And with a toss of her tresses, she dumped the baby in our laps and zipped off to her other baby.

And now, the questionnaire......

If you found out some of your married friends who considered normal, are very experimental in their sexual life, will you be horrified? If you walked into their bedroom and found a set of handcuffs, your reaction would be:

Sushmita:"No, I would'nt be horrified. I mean what people do in their bed, is their business. And If I found a pair of handcuffs in their bedroom, my reaction would be: Anxiety laced with a liberal dose of curiosity."

Someone you know very well, is on the brink of a break-up. The cause, physical incompatibility. Because of a partner, who is very passive in bed. What tip would you give your friend?

Sushmita:"I would advice my friend to be more explicit about her needs to her lover, I would tell her that maybe it would help if she shared her wildest fantasies with her lover and if she asked him to participate. Physical incompatibility can be bridged.

How often are these words used by you while in bed? Are they necessary, often or never?
a."Like this..."
b."Don't Stop!"
c."Don't mind about me.."
d."Could I give you a rain check?"

Sushmita:"Everyone has their own 'often' and 'never' in their beds. It is a matter of personal choice. But according to me. "Don't stop' qualifies as 'Often'."


"I would like to have a man who makes love not just to the body but also the mind and the soul."

Which of the following according to you, gets people fastest into the mood?

i. Scented oils or creams
j. Whipped cream and the like
k. Fantasy - the naughtier the better

Sushmita:"I think the fastest way to get people 'into the mood' is: Music, Dancing, Sexy lingerie, a sensuous shower or bath, a silky message. I would'nt know about the others."

Sushmita: "Only when your emotions are engaged."

Sushmita: "The morning after, I am likely to feel fabulously fulfilled."

JUST HOW SEXUALLY LIBERATED IS Ms. Universe: SHOWTIME Analyses! Taking into consideration Sushmita's uninhibited answers, one can say that the sensuous actress is exquisitely experimental in her outlook. Still, rampant as she is to the vast array of life's impassioned joys, she's equally receptive when those fine-tuned instincts tell her not to indulge. No wonder her sexuality brings her such satisfaction. With the emotional and erotic sides of her body and soul in perfect alignment, feeling good has to mean feeling good about herself.
