Little Black Book of Sex Positions

Product Information

Contrary to popular belief, the Kama Sutra explores many aspects of love, marriage, and a connection with a partner. Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra states it has 1,250 verses distributed over 36 chapters in 64 sections organised into 7 books. [55] This statement is included in the opening chapter of the text, a common practice in ancient Hindu texts likely included to prevent major and unauthorized expansions of a popular text. [56] The text that has survived into the modern era has 67 sections, and this list is enumerated in Book 7 and in Yashodhara's Sanskrit commentary ( bhasya) on the text.

Sex Positions For Female Orgasm, Per Experts 17 Best Kamasutra Sex Positions For Female Orgasm, Per Experts

The Drop Box is consideredd one of the best positions for the female orgasm (and your partner will probably enjoy it too). The receiving partner has the option of either wrapping their legs around the penetrating partner, resting their legs on their shoulders, or having them hold their legs in the air — they’re all hot, trust us. The Layer Cake is an intimate grinding move allows for maximum clitoral stimulation, and believe us, you’ll see why. The receiving partner can lie flat on top, either facing towards or away from the penetrating partner (both are equally fun), and grasp the edge of the bed to get some friction going. And this position is nothing if not versatile! The penetrating partner can also be on top, using their arms to pump and grind.

Doing it under a blanket is best if you try a simple but sexy spooning position and wrap your arms around each other. Just remember to wait until the beach clears out for the day!

Superstar

If you don’t have a cool penis ring on hand, never fear! Baring the Sceptor is a position that can elicit that same intense reaction for partners with penises. Simply form a ring with your thumb and forefinger around the base of the penis, pull down so the skin of the shaft is taut and enjoy the increased sensitivity and sensations that follow. If you can keep your hand there during intercourse, it’s a sure way to level-up penetrative sex. This position is a variation of the missionary position. Both partners lie down across a comfortable surface, their legs stretched out, and aligned. One partner lies on top of the other, bellies touching, while the other partner thrusts from the bottom position. Doniger and Sudhir Kakar published another translation in 2002, as a part of the Oxford World's Classics series. [108] Along with the translation, Doniger has published numerous articles and book chapters relating to the Kamasutra. [109] [110] [111] The Doniger translation and Kamasutra-related literature has both been praised and criticized. According to David Shulman, the Doniger translation "will change peoples' understanding of this book and of ancient India. Previous translations are hopelessly outdated, inadequate and misguided". [76] Narasingha Sil calls the Doniger's work as "another signature work of translation and exegesis of the much misunderstood and abused Hindu erotology". Her translation has the folksy, "twinkle prose", engaging style, and an original translation of the Sanskrit text. However, adds Sil, Doniger's work mixes her postmodern translation and interpretation of the text with her own "political and polemical" views. She makes sweeping generalizations and flippant insertions that are supported by neither the original text nor the weight of evidence in other related ancient and later Indian literature such as from the Bengal Renaissance movement – one of the scholarly specialty of Narasingha Sil. Doniger's presentation style titillates, yet some details misinform and parts of her interpretations are dubious, states Sil. [112] Reception

The Private Dancer

The Kamasutra is a " sutra"-genre text consisting of intensely condensed, aphoristic verses. Doniger describes them as a "kind of atomic string (thread) of meanings", which are so cryptic that any translation is more like deciphering and filling in the text. [65] Condensing a text into a sutra-genre religious text form makes it easier to remember and transmit, but it also introduces ambiguity and the need to understand the context of each chapter, its philological roots, as well as the prior literature, states Doniger. [65] However, this method of knowledge preservation and transmission has its foundation in the Vedas, which themselves are cryptic and require a commentator and teacher-guide to comprehend the details and the inter-relationship of the ideas. [65] [66] The Kamasutra too has attracted commentaries, of which the most well known are those of 12th-century [66] or 13th-century [67] Yaśodhara's Jayamaṅgalā in the Sanskrit language, and of Devadatta Shastri who commented on the original text as well as its commentaries in the Hindi language. [65] [68] There are many other Sanskrit commentaries on the Kamasutra, such as the Sutra Vritti by Narsingha Sastri. [66] These commentaries on the Kamasutra cite and quote text from other Hindu texts such as the Upanishads, the Arthashastra, the Natyashastra, the Manusmriti, the Nyayasutra, the Markandeya Purana, the Mahabharata, the Nitishastra and others to provide the context, per the norms of its literary traditions. [69] The extant translations of the Kamasutra typically incorporate these commentaries, states Daniélou. [70] For that sweeping-off-the-countertop (or desk) hot sex moment that you’ve totally fantasized about, the Countertop sex position can utilize just about any flat surface that is the right height for the penetrating partner. Take turns controlling the depth of penetration (the receiving partner can adjust their legs at their partners shoulders as well) and you’ll both be seeing stars. Daniélou, Alain (1993).
