Introduction
The Kama Sutra is an ancient text that has been around about 2,000 years. It would be foolish to believe that the book in its entirety, still rings true today. The Kama Sutra was one book in a group of books known as the Kama Shastra, though the Kama Sutra is the only one most of us are still familiar with. Although the book was written thousands of years ago, there are some aspects of the book that still pertain to modern, developed societies. Most of the book is based on love, desire, and relationships; only a small portion is attributed to sex positions. Although this is the case, many people still believe the Kama Sutra is mainly a book on sexual positioning and pleasure.
Coming to terms with the fact that sex and sexual fulfillment isn’t just equated to penetrative sex is the first step in satisfying yourself and your partner. This book will take you in depth on different facets of the Kama Sutra and how they can create a more satisfying sex life for you and your partner. Along with various direct excerpts and quotations from the original, ancient Kama Sutra text by Vatsyayana, this book also has modern interpretations and practices commonly participated in by couples in today’s society.
One thing to keep in mind when reading this book is that aside from some of the bizarre and almost comical parts (charms, recipes, and potions), there are a lot of aspects that are used in today’s society and other developed worlds. It is interesting to see that populations over 2,000 years ago were still making love and performing oral sex and foreplay. Although women weren’t seen as equals to men, in the bedroom they were highly respected and were to be made certain they were pleasured at the end of sexual intercourse.
I hope this book not only gives youinsight into the past sexual practices that were spoken of and engaged in during ancient times as written in Kama Sutra text, but also shows you how much we relate to individuals who lived so long ago. This book will give you the tools you need to fulfill your sexual fantasies and desires along with a bunch of extra, historical information to share with your lover – maybe even practice?
Chapter 1: General Principles Of Kama Sutra
Kama Sutra is a well-known, historical guide to the principles of lovemaking, desire, sexual position and all around general sexual behaviors. This guide, though relatively dated, still applies to many facets of modern day sexual practices. Most of the Kama Sutra is dedicated to different principles and guidelines both male and female must abide by to have the most fulfilling sex life. There are also lots of talk and theory on the root of desire and passion. Some of the most common principles of Kama Sutra are still widely used today.
The Indians believe in following four most important principles of life to master your senses and achieve fulfillment in life and sexually. The four principles (or goals) are Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. Taken from the sacred texts of the original Kama Sutra by Vatsyayana, the four goals should be practiced as follows:
“Man, the period of whose life is one hundred years, should practice Dharma, Artha, and Kama at different times and in such a manner that they may harmonize together and not clash in any way. He should acquire learning in his childhood, in his youth and middle age he should attend to Artha and Kama, and in his old age, he should perform Dharma, and thus seek to gain Moksha, i.e. release from further transmigration. Or, on account of the uncertainty of life, he may practice them at times when they are enjoined to be practiced. But one thing is to be noted; he should lead the life of a religious student until he finishes his education.
Dharma is obedience to the command of the Shastra or Holy Writ of the Hindu’s to do certain things, such as the performance of sacrifices, which are not generally done, because they do not belong to this world, and produce no visible effect; and not to do other things, such as eating meat, which is often done because it belongs to this world, and has visible effects. Dharma should be learned from the Shruti (Holy Writ), and from those conversant with it.
Artha is the acquisition of arts, land, gold, cattle, wealth, equipages and friends. It is, further, the protection of what is acquired, and the increase of what is protected. Artha should be learned from the king's officers, and from merchants who may be versed in the ways of commerce.
The Kama is the enjoyment of appropriate objects by the five senses of hearing, feeling, seeing, tasting and smelling, assisted by the mind together with the soul. The ingredient in this is a peculiar contact between the organ of sense and its object, and the consciousness of pleasure which arises from that contact is called The Kama. Kama is to be learned from the Kama Sutra (aphorisms on love) and the practice of citizens.
When all the three, viz. Dharma, Artha, and The Kama, come together, the former is better than the one which follows it, i.e. Dharma is better than Artha, and Artha is better than The Kama. But Artha should always be first practiced by the king for the livelihood of men is to be obtained from it only. Again, The Kama being the occupation of free women, they should prefer it to the other two, and these are exceptions to the general rule”.
Translated to more modern terminology, Dharma is described as virtuous living. Whether these virtues are diving in origin or virtues that we have developed for ourselves is a matter of discussion. The definition of virtue is said to be the essence of our character and our morals or “the moral excellence of a person”; keeping to these
morals every day equates to living virtuously. If you are religious, follow the holy virtues whereas individuals who aren’t of religious backgrounds can develop morals of their own, usually relating to or in the attempt at moral excellence.
Artha pertains to the obtainment of material prosperity. For an individual to live and embrace the goal of Artha, they must seek to obtain wealth and many items others would see as wealthy. In modern day society, Artha could be seen as prosperity alone, not specified to material only. Individuals believe to be prosperous if they have a roof over their head, food in their fridge and bills paid. Prosperity can mean different things to different people because we all come from different backgrounds and upbringings. Living as if one is prosperous regarding attitude would put one far ahead of most humans today. In a world full of satisfaction, it would be wise to find prosperity in one’s life outside of the shroud of material items.
The Kama is defined as “desire” and what we find desirable as human beings. What is interesting about Kama Sutra is that, historically, the desire was said to be something you can create and build on; not merely something that sparks when you meet a person. Kama Sutra described the difference between lust and desire, stating that we have the ability to create both. In modern times, we deem certain people to be desirable and cast out everyone else who doesn’t have the particular features that we find helpful. This goes to show how over time, our view on love, desire, and lust has grown to be a bit shallower than previously intended.
This could be partly because there was a high amount of arranged marriages in ancient times so being able to make someone desirable to you out of necessity to reproduce would be a good trait to have. As time went on, arranged marriages in most developed worlds are seen as taboo and are no longer practiced. No arranged marriages mean the ability to choose, thus creating our vision of what we find desirable in a mate.
Moksha is liberation; freedom of ignorance. To follow Moksha, you need to seek wisdom and learn from everything you encounter. Strive for self-awareness, self-realization, and self-knowledge. Knowing who you are, what you stand for and what you want out of life falls into line with Moksha. A feeling of liberation and all-encompassing knowledge about who you are as an individual.
If one is unable to practice all of these at once, it is instructed that one should focus on living virtuously and being a good person before focusing on materialistic things and pleasure. According to Vatsyayana “A man practicing Dharma, Artha and Kama enjoy happiness now and in future. Any action which conduces to the practice of Dharma, Artha, and The Kama together, or of any two, or even one of them should be performed. But an action which conduces to the practice of one of them at the expense of the remaining two should not be performed.”
There is a delicate balance when it comes to following Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. According to Vatsyayana, the original Kama Sutra author, there shouldn’t be any conflict with practicing all of the goals, but if the conflict should arise, pleasure needs to focus on last. One of the biggest teachings this book is meant to educate individuals on is the importance that we as a person have on our lives. We create good days, and we create bad days; we are in control. Bettering oneself doesn’t come easy and isn’t something that happens overnight; certain aspects of life need to be learned through experience and mistakes.
The Kama Sutra knows the impact that common factors have on your sexual desire and drive. Someone who is stressed out, angry with themselves and unhappy is going to have a less than fulfilling sexual experience, regardless if they are with the person they love. Becoming aware of who we are as a person will have a profound effect on our ability to satisfy ourselves and our lover. Knowing yourself and loving yourself need to come first.
Chapter 2: Classifications And Love
The Kama Sutra states that there are several classifications of both men and women that are integral in the compatibility of couples. Both men and females are categorized into three different animals. The males are classified based on the length of their penis, and the women are classified by the depth of their vagina. The male classifications are: Shasha (hare), vrisha (bull), ashwas (horse), and the women are classified as mrigi (deer), vadavas (mare), hastinis (elephant).
For men, the classification components are as follows:
Shasha or hare-man, have an erection that is no longer than six finger breaths, or three inches in length when erect. It also describes his figure to be short but well-proportioned, and his penis is darker than the rest of his skin. His hair is also said to be silky and his teeth to be short and fine. He does not have a ravenous appetite for food, and he is a humble man with moderate carnal desires.
The vrisha or bull-man has a penis no longer than four inches in length when erect. He is said to be robust with a body like a tortoise with a hard belly and a fleshy chest. He has large eyes and a high forehead, the palms of his hands are pink, and he has a cruel and violent disposition.
The ashwas or horse-man has an erection around six inches long with a large framed body and a hard, muscular body. He desires his women to be hard and muscular as well as opposed to delicate; his knees are crooked, and he has very long extremities. He is known to be gluttonous, passionate, lazy and loves to sleep.
For women, the classification components are as follows:
The origin or deer woman has a vagina that is six fingers deep; she is a girly and delicate woman with a small head and perky breasts. Her legs are large and rounded, as are her arms. She has dark, curly hair and dark eyes and she tend to be jealous in nature. He vagina smells like a flower, her mind active and her demeanor is passionate when it comes to making love to her partner.
The vadavas or mare woman has a vagina that is nine fingers in depth. She has thick arms and broad shoulders and breasts. She is graceful in her walk and has a calm demeanor, dark eyes, long straight hair, and red hands and feet. Her vagina is said to smell of a lotus, and she has difficult reaching orgasm through penetrative sex.
The hastinis or elephant woman has a vagina that is twelve fingers in depth. She has large breasts, and a long nose, throat, and ears. She has yellow-tinged eyes and dark, long and thick hair while never thinking twice about committing a sin. She has long lips and a harsh voice while her hands and feet are short and fat. Her ejaculatory juices are abundant in nature and suffers from extreme gluttony while still being unable to achieve satisfaction in the bedroom.
The compatibility chart for each of these different classifications is as follows:
Equal pairs would be the hare and the deer, the bull and the mare, and the horse and the elephant. Unequal pairs would be hare and mare, hare and elephant, bull and deer, bull and elephant, horse and deer, horse and mare. The reason there are optimal compatibilities is that everyone is different and these certain classifications provide the ultimate pair. A short vagina and a long penis would have difficulty pleasuring one another because the penis would be painful for the women and the vagina would not be able to withstand deep penetration for the man.
It is common for women and men to contain several traits from one or more classifications; just like there is a wealth of continued knowledge on the topic. There is also classification based on stamina; the short timed, the moderate timed and the long timed. The man should also arouse the woman earlier because it takes women to climax. The Kama Sutra states that “by union with men, the lust, desire or passion of women is satisfied” and that women must reach climax before or during the climax of the male. The Kama Sutra describes four kinds of love
1) “Love resulting from constant and continual performance of love. In other words, love acquired by habit. Love resulting from the constant and continual performance of some act is called love acquired by constant practice and habit, as for instance the love of sexual intercourse, the love of hunting, the love of drinking, the love of gambling, etc., etc.
2) Love that comes from the imagination - love that proceeds from ideas, and emphasizes embracing, kissing, stroking, and scratching. Love
which is felt for things to which we are not habituated, and which proceeds entirely from ideas, is called love resulting from imagination, as for instance that love which some men and women and eunuchs feel for the Auparishtaka or mouth congress, and that which is felt by all for such things as embracing, kissing, etc., etc.
3) Love that is mutual on both sides and has been proven to be true. The love which is mutual on both sides, and proved to be true, when each looks upon the other as his or her very own, such is called love resulting from belief by the learned.”
4) Love resulting from experience - love that is known only to others because it is never analyzed as such (and is, therefore, the superior form of love). In the Kama Sutra, the love resulting from the perception of external objects is quite evident and well known to the world. Because the pleasure which it affords is superior to the pleasure of the other kinds of love, which exists only for its sake.”

Love is also constituted as an art form and with such, the following 64 arts (according to the Kama Sutra) need to be studied to understand the art of love. The following 64 studies are taken directly from the original Kama Sutra:
“Singing
Playing on musical instruments
Dancing
