Kamasutra Love-Making Positions
Kama, sensual or sexual pleasure and delight, is one of the great goals of life. Sutra means aphorism. So the text consists of terse sayings about sex, but about more than that too: fine living and family life and other sides to pleasure for humans. Sir Richard Burton has translated the whole Kamasutra text from Sanskrit into English. The following is a short and quite poetic description of postures. In our days a book with cosy photos of the positions and their details is all in all better for understanding how to do it. The best use of such recipes for love-making is widening of one's mental horizons - without harm - of what is possible. Not everyone is fit for doing all of them, but some are easy enough. "You are not into it for the sake of the postures; rather, the postures are there for your sake." That is the idea. Basically, to the degree that having fun and do things that enhance thriving are into it, well and good. It may be necessary to keep out of the sight of neighbours. Some like privacy.
You may enhance your repertoire: the postures are a buffet, pick and choose from among them as you find it fit. Maybe you could benefit from loosening up a bit first. What follows is a selection of positions that some have a good chance of success at, I guess. And once again, if you want to see the postures illustrated, photos are much more telling than old Indian paintings of postures. Putting a fancy name on many very small variations of what flows and stems from two coupling organisms is not supposed to be an end in itself. Keep yourselves in charge - Names could be used for reference, though. - TK
