What is Kamasutra?

Question

please give me some serious and detailed answers

Answer 1

It's an Indian book on life. It's NOT just a sex manual! It just happens to have a chapter about having a fulfilling sex life! Kama is the Hindu god of love, and a sutra was the equivalent of a book at that time.

Here's some snippets about it;

"it was written between the 1st and 4th Centuries AD by a man called Vatsyayana, who lived in the North Indian city of Benares - now called Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh"

"Only about 20 per cent of the book is devoted to sexual positions. The remainder gives guidance on how to be a good citizen and insights into men and women in relationships, a bit like Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus."

"Code breakers also find the Kama Sutra fascinating as it contains instructions for making messages unreadable"

Answer 4

A Sanskrit treatise setting forth rules for sensuous and sensual pleasure, love, and marriage in accordance with Hindu law.

Believed to have been written sometime in the third century,c.e. by a sage named Vatsyayana and composed in a state of "highest meditation", this most well-known of Indian texts on the Art of Love, the Kama Sutra has long had a reputation for being a racey sex manual for the uninhibited hedonist, when in actuality this amazingly timeless collection of teachings is suprisingly broad in it's counsel on all aspects of love.

Many assume that the Kama Sutra is exclusively about how to achieve the ultimate in sexual satisfaction, when actually the section that deals with sexual positions and the sexual act itself is only one of the many sections in this "best known Indian book outside of India".

Originally translated by Sir Richard Burton in 1876 and published by the Kama Shastra Society in Great Britain in 1883, the Kama Sutra was declared illegal and banned in England until it's official publishing date of 1963 when it sold like hotcakes. It's popularity at the time is most likely due to it's graphic (and Victorian) depictions of sexual positions in what could possibly be termed at the time as Hindu pornography.

A more recent translation, published in 2002 (Oxford University Press by Doniger & Kakar) newly interprets even the title, transforming it from, "Aphorisms of Love" to "Pleasure Treatise".

In the Kama Sutra, the only bad sex is sex shared poorly, (i.e. when one is inattentive to one's lover.) The main element of the sexual positions mentioned (of which there are 64) is that the position facilitates kissing. It being important that the lovers (both) spend time to deepen their bond and connection with each other when making love-no quickies in the Kama Sutra, unless and until the lovers have established a long-time & loving practice
