An Erotic Guide for Lovers
The Modern Kama Sutra is a new twist on ancient traditions, showing readers how to find ecstasy as lovers and as partners. It is the perfect guide for creating a sizzling sex life and beautiful lifestyle.
The original Kama Sutra was written in India by the Hindu philosopher Vatsyayana, who is believed to have lived during time of the Gupta Empire in the 4th to 6th centuries CE (or Common Era), although it is difficult to fix the exact date of either Vatsyayana or his work. It’s an old, ancient text for lovemaking, and a way of living. It was only translated into English in the 1880’s, so in terms of how we can understand it, it’s only been around for a relatively short period of time. But it has teachings that will last forever.
What makes it so important today is that it focuses on the fact that sex is all about energy. That natural flow of energy that connects us one to the other is what the Kama Sutra is built on. And that’s what makes sex delicious.
It’s also based on something all couples need to look at, and that is: Her Pleasure First.
We’re going to learn things that allow men to adequately – and hopefully at a high level – pleasure the female in a way that makes her sing.
Then you get to share your pleasure with her! That’s what makes it so special. It is a way of relating to your beloved… to your partner, to your mate, to your lover… in a way that presents an opportunity to fully connect with someone. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t it wonderful to think that you can bring your full self to connecting with your partner? To know that you can learn to explore the full range of pleasure that your mind, your emotions, your body, and your spirit can connect in?
Part of what the traditional Kama Sutra focused on was the size of the “Lingam” – or penis – and the size of the “Yoni”- or vulva, including the vagina. The Yoni is the whole female genitalia. This is the sign of the Yoni (illustration or still) and of the Lingam.
In the ancient Kama Sutra, there were literally three sizes of the man, and three sizes of the woman. It was very important that when they came together they were in alignment. The ancient writings include teachings about this.
The ancient Kama Sutra also focuses on the force of passion and carnal desire. Passion is that energy – the sexual energy – that is a life-flow energy when we unlock our sexual spirits. That’s the essence of the Kama Sutra.
Thirdly, it focuses on the sexual response cycle, meaning where we are and how long it takes us to go from start to finish, or how long it takes to go from arousal to orgasm. We all have different timing, and that is one important reason to use these teachings of the Kama Sutra.
An especially important teaching says focus on her pleasure first. Why is that? Because women burn more slowly than men. Take a moment and take that in. Remembering it gives you the opportunity to think things like:
My partner and I are a similar size, and that allows us to be compatible.
Maybe we’re not really the same size, so we want to play with some positions that give him or her an advantage.
Maybe his passion is low because he’s sleepy today.
Maybe her passion is high because she’s ready for this kind of an experience.
Maybe it’s taking her, or him, longer to get cooking today than it is taking me.
You have plenty of time to practice these teachings, and hopefully you’re going to keep these notions in the back of your mind.
One of the teachings of the Kama Sutra that’s a favorite is that in order to be a good lover you don’t just say, “Hi honey, I’m home – let’s do it!” Right? It doesn’t work quite like that!
There’s a buildup, there’s preparation, and there’s personal preparation. Not just getting your makeup and your hair done, or being concerned with good grooming – those are the logical things. But thinking about preparation of the self.
