What is Indian Kamasutra and its History?

The Indian Kamasutra was written in the 3rd century. It was written by Vatsayan Mallanaga, a north Indian scholar. It also means treatise of pleasure. Kama is the god of love. The other meaning of Kama is desire. Sutra means a guide or a manual. The Kamasutra is an ancient guide to lovemaking. It reflects the sexual and social traditions of time.

Many people think that Kamasutra is only a guide for athletic sexual positions. But it has a lot of historical importance attached to it.  It is not like simple sexual guide.  It is a guide towards satisfaction and sexual fantasy.

According to this text the three main goals of a man’s life are:

• Dharma – Responsibility and duty for the actions.
• Arta- Gaining power from wealth and politics.
• Kama – Pleasure.

According to Kamasutra, a mental connection must be established through ideas and interests. Also a bodily connection should be formed through compatibility and pleasure. It is very essential to develop a soul connection through intimacy, expression and deep healing.

A connection in partnership can be facilitated by an erotic massage. It can be done on great levels. A great importance is attributed by the Kama Sutra to tantric/sensual massage and touch. One can get a lot of love making satisfaction, relaxation and arousal with an erotic massage. Without sensual build up and touch, one cannot rush to climax. It is now a satisfying experience.

Without touch and sensual build up - the rush to climax will not result in a completely satisfying experience.

Through erotic touch and sensual massage one can enjoy and learn to explore every part of the lover’s body. A state of sensual arousal, seduction, pleasure and desire should be maintained for a prolonged period. The love making can be taken to a new level by this.

Kamasutra sex positions
All sorts of challenging positions are offered by this Indian text. An equal level of satisfaction and dual responsibility is given by Vatsyayana to the art of love making.  In some positions, a lot of importance is given to the woman-power. The man’s leading role is usurped and he is brought under the control of woman. Thus a lot of supremacy is given to women. She plays a leading role in love making.

The lying down Kamasutra sex positions  includes three ways:

• Widely opened position.

• Position of Indra’s wife.
