Your Introduction to Sexual Pleasure
Vatsyayana, an Indian writer, penned down his expertise on sexual pleasure, sexuality, eroticism, and emotional fulfillment. This came to be known as the Kamasutra. Did he know the impact this treatise, written a millennium ago, might have on the modern world today?
I’d like to believe we’re an informed audience. Yet, whenever we think of Kamasutra, we have learned to instantly relate it to sex. What if I told you there is so much more to the Kamasutra than some sex positions? It was written to help readers understand the nature of love, bring emotional fulfillment to their love life, and experience the joy of life through understanding their sexuality, eroticism, sexual desire, and pleasure.
Kamasutra — The Guide to Sexual Desire and Arousal
Kamasutra is not just about the act of sex. It focuses on the sexual desires of the human body, the emotional fulfillment that sex can bring to our lives, and the sexuality and eroticism that can enable these experiences. Kamasutra is beyond just an instruction manual on the sex positions that you can try.
You’d be surprised to find this out—we were surprised too! The original Kamasutra is a philosophical text that has musings on how we can lead a rewarding life and have fruitful relationships. There are sections on the art of living well, the nature of love, finding the right life partner, maintaining one’s love life, and other aspects that support pleasure, sexual or non-sexual, in our life. It’s truly futuristic. Today’s therapists and mental health experts will encourage you to identify non-sexual intimacy opportunities in your relationship and life to make it healthier and more rounded. Vatsyayana did it centuries ago.
What’s special about Kamasutra is that unlike other texts on human living from across the world, it does not shy away from sex or see it as taboo. That makes the text so appealing to people across the world. According to it, sex is a normal, healthy activity that has been performed since life came to earth. Outside of this, the text is a great read if you want to learn about the philosophy and theory of love, what triggers the inner human desire, what sustains it, and what’s good or bad desire. We recommend Seema Anand’s retelling of the Kamasutra for the modern age as your starting point.
Now even though we said it’s not just about sex, you came here to learn more about some positions from the Kamasutra that you’ve not heard of before. We won’t disappoint you. Here are 5 of the most unique sex positions from the Kamasutra that you must try at least once to explore your sexuality, sexual desire, and pleasure.
