kamasutra
The Kama Sutra is the best-known of ancient love manuals, a 1,500-year-old Indian text which
explicitly details both the mechanics of lovemaking and a code of behavior which applies to
everything surrounding it. Originally translated from Sanskrit in 1883 by Sir Richard F. Burton,
the intrepid Victorian explorer who also translated The Arabian Nights and discovered the
headwaters of the Nile, it is thought to have been compiled from a much older oral tradition by
Vatsyayana, a Benares religious student and wise man living in 5th Century India.
Meaning literally “aphorisms on love,” the Kama Sutra is divided into seven parts, 36 chapters
and 1,250 verses. Beyond the numerous sexual positions it delineates (“Cobra,” “Black Bee,”
“Tigress”), it was also the lifestyle magazine or self-help text of its day, recounting kissing
techniques, recipes for aphrodisiacs and a host of advice on seduction, courting, marriage and
courtesans – not to mention “classes of women fit and unfit for congress.” It also offered
instruction in “the 64 arts”: poetry, music, dance, art, conversation, homemaking, the sciences,
magic and many others.
