The Kama Sutra<
Sinthya bought this book to figure out the truth about this widely discussed phenomenon. Believe or not but the book (the translation of the original one, at least has no illustrations with the fancy positions and tips regarding your intimate life. What the Kama Sutra is in fact a treatise on politics, social custom, love and intimacy. Essentially, it covers many sides of human life way beyond its sexual part. Some quotations…
The Life of a Citizen… Now, the householder, having got up in the morning and performed his necessary duties, should wash his teeth, apply a limited quantity of ointments and perfumes to his body, put some ornaments on his person and collyrium on his eyelids and below his eyes, color his lips with alackataka, and look at himself in the glass….
On different ways of lying down and various kinds of congress …When a men, from the beginning to the end of the congress, though having connection with the woman, thinks all the time that he is enjoying another one whom he loves, it is called “the congress of transferred love”
On biting: … the qualities of good teeth are as follows: they should be equal, possessed of a pleasant brightness, capable of being coloured, of proper proportions, unbroken, and with sharp ends.
However, my flat mate Christian, who was convinced in purely sexual nature of the book, has manage to find some very relevant and captivating passages. I guess, no quotations is needed – his face tells everything.
