  • The Love Teachings of Kama Sutra
  • By Vatasyayana
  • -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Lying Down Positions:
  • --------------------
  • Indrani draws up both her knees
  • until they nuzzle the curves of her breasts;
  • her feet find her lover's armpits.
  • Small girls love this posture,
  • but becoming a goddess takes a lot of practice.
  • She cups and lifts her buttocks with her palms,
  • spreads wide her thighs,
  • and digs in her heels besides her hips,
  • while you caress her breasts:
  • this is "Utphallaka" (The Flower in Bloom).
  • Grasping the ankles
  • of the round hipped woman, whose buttocks
  • are like two ripe gourds,
  • raise her beautiful thighs
  • and spread the thigh-joints widely.
  • Full of desire, saying sweet words,
  • approach her with your body stiff as a pole
  • and drive straight forward
  • to pierce her lotus and join your limbs:
  • experts call it "Madandhvaja" (The Flag of Cupid).
  • Catch hold of her two feet,
  • raising them till they press upon her breasts
  • and her legs form a rough circle.
  • Clasp her neck and make love to her:
  • this is "Ratisundara" (Aphrodite's Delight).
  • Lift the lady's feet until her soles
  • lie perfectly parallel,
  • one to each side of her slender throat,
  • cup her breasts and enjoy her:
  • this technique is "Uthkanta" (Throat-high).
  • Your lovely wife, lying on the bed,
  • grasps her own feet
  • and draws them up until they reach her hair;
  • you catch her breasts and make love:
  • this is "Vyomapada" (Sky-foot).
  • The round-thighed woman on the bed
  • grasps her ankles and raises high her lotus feet;
  • you strike her to the root, kissing
  • and slapping open-palmed between her breasts:
  • this is "Markata" (The Monkey).
  • She lies flat on her back,
  • you sit between her parted knees, raise them,
  • hook her feet over your thighs,
  • catch hold of her breasts, and enjoy her:
  • this is "Manmathpriya" (Dear to Cupid).
  • Lying-down Positions - Samputa Group:
  • ------------------------------------
  • If your penis is too small for a woman,
  • the "Samputa" group of postures should be used:
  • "Samputa" (the Jewel Case),
  • "Pidita" (the Squeeze), "Veshtita (the Entwined)
  • and "Vadavaka" (the Mare's Trick).
  • In Samputa your legs lie along hers
  • caressing their whole length from toes to thighs.
  • Your lover may be below you,
  • or you may both lie on your sides,
  • in which case she should always be on your left.
  • In Pidita the lovers' thighs
  • are interlaced and squeeze each other in rhythm.
  • In Veshtita she crosses her thighs
  • or rolls each one inward,
  • thus greatly strengthening her yoni's grip.
  • When, like a mare cruelly gripping
  • a stallion, your lover
  • traps and milks your penis with her vagina,
  • it is "Vadavaka" (the Mare's Trick),
  • which can only be perfected with long practice.
  • When she uses it, a woman
  • should cease to kiss her lover
  • and simply hold the lock.
  • Courtesans are adept at Vadavaka,
  • and it's a speciality with ladies from Andhra(*).
  • *The South-Eastern state of India.
  • From The Medieval Texts:
  • When lovers, with legs stretched rigid
  • and feet caressing feet,
  • make love according to their hearts' desire,
  • "tantra" scholars call it "Sampada" (Equal Feet)
  • and agree it is a way to ecstasy.
  • Stiff as a pole in the bed's center,
  • she lies making love,
  • cooing and warbling like a woodpigeon,
  • the jewel of her clitoris well-polished:
  • this is Mausala" (the Pestle).
  • When she lies on her back
  • with her two thighs pressed tightly together
  • and you make love to her,
  • keeping your thighs outside hers,
  • it is "Gramya" (the Rustic).
  • If, encircling and trapping
  • her thighs with yours,
  • you grip so hard that she cries out in pain,
  • it is "Ratipasha" (Love's Noose),
  • a device most charming to the ladies.
  • Her limbs, entwined in yours
  • like tendrils of fragrant jasmine creeper,
  • draw taut and slowly relax
  • in the gentle rhythm of linga and yoni:
  • this is "Lataveshta" (the Clinging Creeper).
  • She draws her limbs together,
  • clasping her knees tightly to her breasts,
  • her yoni, like an opening bud,
  • offered up for pleasure:
  • this is known as "Mukula" (the Bud).
  • When she draws up her knees
  • and you clamp yours about her raised thighs,
  • trapping them in a tight knot
  • while riding saddle upon her buttocks
  • and kissing her, it is "Shankha" (the Couch).
  • -----------------------------------------------------
  • Sitting Positions:
  • -----------------
  • Seated, mouth to mouth,
  • arms against arms, thighs against thighs:
  • this is "Kaurma" The Tortoise).
  • If the lovers' thighs, still joined, are raised,
  • it is "Paravartita" (Turning).
  • If within the cave of her thighs
  • you sit rotating your hips like a black bee,
  • it is "Markata" (The Monkey).
  • And if, in this pose, you turn away from her,
  • it is "Marditaka" (Crushing Spices).
  • She sits with raised thighs,
  • her feet placed either side of your waist;
  • "linga" (penis) enters "yoni" (vagina);
  • you rain hard blows upon her body:
  • this is "Kshudgaga" (Striking).
  • When your wife sits
  • with both knees drawn tight to her body
  • and you mirror this posture,

  • If, with left leg extended,
  • she encircles your waist with her right leg,
  • laying its ankle across her left thigh,
  • and you do the same,
  • it is "Svastika" (The Swastika)*.
  • *An ancient good-luck talisman based on the symbolism of a
  • cross whirling sun-wise. The Nazis used it the wrong way
  • round, whirling widdershins, and the Indian pundits
  • always said this was sacrilegious and would doom them.
  • Sitting face to face in bed,
  • her breasts pressed tight against your chest,
  • let each of you lock heels
  • behind the other's waist,
  • and lean back clasping one another's wrists.

  • one foot to point vertically over her head
  • and steadies it with her hands,
  • offering up her "yoni" for lovemaking:
  • this is "Mayura" (the Peacock).
  • If, sitting facing her,
  • you grasp her ankles and fasten them like a chain
  • behind your neck, and she
  • grips her toes as you make love,
  • it is the delightful "Padma" (the Lotus).
  • Sitting erect, grip your lover's waist
  • and pull her on to you,
  • your loins continuously leaping together
  • with a sound like the flapping of elephants' ears:
  • this is "Kirtibandha" (the Knot of Fame).
  • Kneeling between her thighs,
  • tickle her breasts and under her arms,

  • ----------------
  • Oral Pleasures -- Fellatio Techniques:
  • -------------------------------------
  • When your lover catches your penis
  • in her hand and, shaping
  • her lips to an 'O', lays them lightly to its tip,
  • moving her head in tiny circles,
  • this first step is called "Nimitta" (Touching).
  • Next, grasping its head in her hand,
  • she clamps her lips tightly about the shaft,
  • first on one side then the other,
  • taking great care that her teeth don't hurt you:
  • this is "Parshvatoddashta" (Biting at the Sides).
  • Now she takes the head of your penis
  • gently between her lips,
  • by turns pressing, kissing it tenderly
  • and pulling at its soft skin:
  • this is "Bahiha-samdansha" (the Outer Pincers).
  • If next she allows the head to slide
  • completely into her mouth
  • and presses the shaft firmly between her lips,
  • holding a moment before pulling away,
  • it is "Antaha-samdansha" (the Inner Pincers).
  • When, taking your penis in her hand
  • and making her lips very round,
  • she presses fierce kisses along its whole length,
  • sucking as she would at your lower lip,
  • it is called "Chumbitaka" (Kissing).
  • If, while kissing, she lets her tongue
  • flick all over your penis
  • and then, pointing it, strikes repeatedly
  • at the sensitive glans-tip,
  • it becomes "Parimrshtaka" (Striking at the Tip).
  • And now, fired by passion, she takes
  • your penis deep into her mouth,
  • pulling upon it and sucking as vigorously
  • as though she were stripping clean a mango-stone:
  • this is "Amrachushita" (Sucking a Mango).
  • When she senses that your orgasm
  • is imminent she swallows up the whole penis,
  • sucking and working upon it
  • with lips and tongue until you spend:
  • this is "Sangara" (Swallowed Whole).
  • Oral Pleasures -- Cunnilingus Techniques:
  • ----------------------------------------
  • With delicate fingertips,
  • pinch the arched lips of her house of love
  • very very slowly together,
  • and kiss them as though you kissed her lower lip:
  • this is "Adhara-sphuritam" (the Quivering Kiss).
  • Now spread, indeed cleave asunder,
  • that archway with your nose and let your tongue
  • gently probe her "yoni" (vagina),
  • with your nose, lips and chin slowly circling:
  • it becomes "Jihva-bhramanaka" (the Circling Tongue).
  • Let your tongue rest for a moment
  • in the archway to the flower-bowed Lord's temple
  • before entering to worship vigorously,
  • causing her seed to flow:
  • this is "Jihva-mardita" (the Tongue Massage).
  • Next, fasten your lips to hers
  • and take deep kisses
  • >from this lovely one, your beloved,
  • nibbling at her and sucking hard at her clitoris:
  • this is called "Chushita" (Sucked).
  • Cup, lift her young buttocks,
  • let your tongue-tip probe her navel, slither down
  • to rotate skilfully in the archway
  • of the love-god's dwelling and lap her love-water:
  • this is "Uchchushita" (Sucked Up).
  • Stirring the root of her thighs,
  • which her own hands
  • are gripping and holding widely apart,
  • your fluted tongue drinks at her sacred spring:
  • this is "Kshobhaka" (Stirring).
  • Place your darling on a couch,
  • set her feet to your shoulders, clasp her waist,
  • suck hard and let your tongue stir
  • her overflowing love-temple:
  • this is called "Bahuchushita" (Sucked Hard).
  • If the pair of you lie side by side,
  • facing opposite ways,
  • and kiss each other's secret parts
  • using the fifteen techniques described above,
  • it is known as "Kakila" (the Crow).
  • Role Reversal:
  • -------------
  • During lovemaking, ten types of blows
  • may be struck with the penis,
  • but of these only "Upasripta" (Natural),
  • which is instinctive even to untutored cowherds,
  • results in full clitoral stimulation.
  • It is a gentle forward stroke
  • which may be varied for depth and speed,
  • allowing a subtlety, rhythm
  • and spontaneity which
  • the other nine each lack to some degree.
  • If you grasp your penis and move it
  • in circles inside her yoni,
  • it is "Manthana" (Churning).
  • When you strike sharply down into the yoni,
  • it is "Hula" (the Double-edged Knife).
  • If, when her hips are raised by a pillow,
  • you strike a rising blow,
  • it is "Avamardana" (Rubbing).
  • If you hold your penis pressed breathlessly
  • to her womb it is "Piditaka" (Pressing).
  • If you withdraw completely
  • and then strike her violently to the womb,
  • it is "Nirghata" (the Buffet).
  • Continuous pressure on one side of her yoni
  • is "Varahaghata" (the Boar's Blow).
  • If you thrust wildly in every direction,
  • like a bull tossing its horns,
  • it is "Vrishaghata" (the Bull's Blow).
  • Quivering in her yoni is "Chatakavilasa" (Sparrow Sport),
  • which usually heralds orgasm.
  • The involuntary shuddering of orgasm
  • is called "Samputa" (the Jewel Case).
  • But no two women make love quite the same way,
  • so orchestrate your rhythms
  • to the moods and colors of each lover's "raga" (emotions).
  • If long lovemaking exhausts you
  • before your lover has reached her orgasm,
  • you should allow her
  • to roll you over your back
  • and sit astride you, taking initiative.
  • If the posture gives her deep pleasure,
  • or you enjoy its novelty,
  • she may transpose into it as a matter of course,
  • taking great care, however,
  • not to expel the linga from the temple of love.
  • Consider: she climbs upon you,
  • the flowers dropping from her tousled hair,
  • her giggles turning to gasps;
  • every time she bends to kiss your lips
  • her nipples pierce your chest.
  • As her hips begin to churn,
  • her head, flung back, bobs ever faster;
  • she scratches, pummels you with small fists,
  • fastens her teeth in your neck,
  • doing unto you what you've often done unto her.
  • When she takes the man's role,
  • your lady has the choice
  • of three famous lovemaking techniques:
  • "Samdamsha (the Tongs),
  • "Bhramara" (the Bee) and "Prenkholita" (the Swing).
  • If she uses the Mare's Trick,
  • gripping your penis with her yoni's vice,
  • squeezing and stroking it,
  • holding it inside her for a hundred heart-beats,
  • it is known as "Samdamsha" (the Tongs).
  • If, drawing up her feet,
  • she revolves her hips so that your penis
  • circles deep within her yoni,
  • you arching your body to help her,
  • it is "Bhramara" (the Bee).
  • If she now swings her hips
  • in wide circles and makes figures-of-eight,
  • swaying upon your body
  • as though she were riding on a seesaw,
  • it is "Prenkholita" (the Swing).
  • When her passion has ebbed,
  • she should rest, bending forward to lay
  • her forehead upon yours
  • without disturbing your yoked bodies:
  • it won't be long before desire stirs again.
  • Catching your penis, the lady
  • with dark eyes like upturned lotus petals
  • guides it into her yoni,
  • clings to you and shakes her buttocks:
  • this is "Charunarikshita" (Lovely Lady in Control).
  • Enthroned on your penis,
  • she places both hands on the bed
  • and makes love, while you
  • press your two hands to her thudding heart:
  • this is "Lilasana" (Seat of Sport).
  • She sits upright upon you,
  • her head thrown back like a rearing mare,
  • bringing her feet together
  • on the bed to one side of your body:
  • this is "Hansabandha" (the Swan).
  • The young woman has one foot
  • on your heart and the other on the bed.
  • Bold, saucy women adore this posture,
  • which is known to the world
  • as "Upavitika" (the Sacred thread).
  • If, with one of her feet
  • clasped in your hand
  • and the second placed upon your shoulder,
  • your young lady enjoys you,
  • it is "Viparitaka" (Reversed).
  • If your lover, seated above you
  • with feet lotus-crossed
  • and her body held erect and still
  • makes love to you,
  • it is known as "Yugmapada" (the Foot Yoke).
  • If she strides you,
  • facing your feet,
  • brings both her feet up to your thighs,
  • and works her hips frantically,
  • it is known as "Hansa-lila" (Swan Sport).
  • Your lover places one foot
  • on your ankle, lodges
  • her other foot just above your knee,
  • and rides you, swinging and rotating her hips:
  • this is "Garuda" (Garuda).
  • If you lie flat on your back
  • with legs stretched out
  • and your lover sits astride you, facing away
  • and grasping your feet,
  • it is called "Virsha" (the Bull).
  • Clasping each other's hands,
  • you lie sprawled like two starfish making love,
  • her breasts stabbing your chest,
  • her thighs stretched out along yours:
  • this is "Devabandha" (the Coitus of the Gods).
  • Lying upon you, your beloved
  • moves round like a wheel,
  • pressing hands one after the other on the bed,
  • kissing your body as she circles:
  • experts call this "Chakrabandha" (the Wheel).
  • If, by means of some contraption,
  • your lover suspends herself above you,
  • places your linga in her yoni
  • and pulleys herself up and down upon it,
  • it is "Utkalita" (the Orissan).**
  • **I must admit that this is kind of far fetched. However,
  • there is an illustration on the next page depicting this
  • position and showing two women pulling the woman up!!
  • Love Potions and Sex Aids
  • -------------------------
  • To Enslave a Lover:
  • ------------------
  • Anoint your penis, before lovemaking,
  • with honey into which
  • you have powered black pepper,
  • long pepper and "datura" (the green thorn apple) -
  • it will utterly devastate your lady.
  • Leaves caught as they fall from trees
  • and powdered with peacock-bone
  • and fragments of a corpse's winding-sheet
  • will, when dusted lightly
  • on the penis, bewitch any woman living.
  • If you crush milky chunks of cactus
  • with sulphur and realgar,
  • dry the mixture seven times, powder it
  • and apply it to your penis,
  • you'll satisfy the most demanding lover.
  • And if, to these powerful ingredients,
  • you add a monkey's turd,
  • grind them together and sprinkle the powder
  • on your unsuspecting lover's head,
  • she will be your devoted slave for life.
  • To Increase Potency:
  • -------------------
  • Honey-sweetened milk in which
  • the testicles of a ram
  • or a goat have been simmered
  • has the effect, when drunk,
  • of making a man as powerful as a bull.
  • Pumkin seeds ground with almonds
  • and sugarcane root,
  • or with cowhage root and strips of bamboo,
  • and stirred into honeyed milk,
  • have the same arousing effect.
  • The sages say that wheat-flour cakes
  • baked with honey and sugar
  • and sprinkled with the powdered seeds
  • of pumpkin and cowhage
  • give one strength for a thousand women.
  • The yolk of a single sparrow's egg
  • stirred into rice pudding
  • that has been thickened with cream,
  • wild-honey and "ghee" (clarified butter)
  • has the same invigorating effect.
  • Enlarging the Penis or "Yoni" (Vagina):
  • --------------------------------------
  • First rub your penis with wasp stings
  • and massage it with sweet oil.
  • When it swells, let it dangle for ten nights
  • through a hole in your bed,
  • going to sleep each night on your stomach.
  • After this period use a cool ointment
  • to remove the pain and swelling.
  • By this method men ... of insatiable
  • sexual appetite, manage to keep
  • their penises enlarged throughout their lives.
  • By applying an ointment made from
  • crushed barleria leaves
  • to her "yoni", the elephant (large) woman
  • can spend at least one night
  • discovering the delights of being a doe ("small" woman).
  • Likewise the doe can use honey
  • mixed with powdered roots
  • of lotus, madder, "sal" (tree of aromatic gum),
  • the blue lotus and the mongoose plant
  • to accomodate a stallion for one night.
  • To Cope With Impotence:
  • ----------------------
  • A man who climaxes too swiftly
  • should arouse his lady
  • by caressing her clitoris with his fingers
  • and flooding the well
  • of her yoni before he enters her.
  • If, during lovemaking, the erection
  • cannot be sustained because
  • the man is old, or simply exhausted
  • he should use the delicate
  • oral techniques given in an earlier chapter.
  • The man who is utterly unable
  • to achieve an erection
  • should pleasure his wife/lover with a phallus
  • crafted from materials like
  • gold, silver, copper, iron (!!), ivory or horn.
  • The artificial phallus should be shaped
  • to your natural proportions.
  • It will be more arousing for the lady
  • if the outside is studded
  • with a profusion of large, smooth nodules.
