Kama Sutra

Introduction

The Kama Sutra is the world's oldest and most widely read guide to the pleasures and techniques of sex. It was compiled in the fourth century A.D. by Brahmin and religious scholar named Vatsyayana who worked from texts dating back to the fourth century B.C. The Kama Sutra deals with all aspects of sexual life, including marriage, adultery, prostitution, group sex, sadomasochism, male and female homosexuality, and transvestism. And by dealing with all aspects of sexual life Kama Sutra describes and demonstrates the pleasures and techniques of sex in each of the different situations. Through the text as the Kama Sutras concepts toward the pleasures and techniques of sex are explained and demonstrated to the reader, some of these concepts do not satisfy and convince the reader about the Kama Sutras assertions of the pleasures and techniques of sex.

Discussion

As I read the Kama Sutra I found couple of interesting parts of the text where I had to agree and disagree with Kama Sutra. I will first write about my disagreements with Kama Sutra. The first thing that I disagree with Kama Sutra is the art of scratching where it states that, "scratching increases excitation " Why I disagree with this idea of scratching is because besides pain I don't see any part of the scratching giving any kind of pleasure or increasing of excitation to the man or woman during lovemaking. By reading the chapter on scratching I learned something new because in my whole life I have never seen or heard anything about scratching during lovemaking. The part of the text where I also disagree about scratching is when it states that, "Scratches left on the body reminds the woman of the man and the moment when she and her mate were making love " Why I disagree with this is that because its true that marks on a body reminds a person in detail the background of that mark, for example, when I was a kid I accidentally cut myself with a knife and now I have a mark on my left hand, and whenever I see that mark I get a little flash back of how it happened, the pain, the blood and the feeling that I had. And that is why I disagree with the scratching because it is the same with sex and what I mean by this is that if I have sex with my lover and I scratch her and if the sex was not good she is going to see that scratch and she is going to remember about the sex and that it was not good and because of that she will not want to make love with me and have sex with me again. It could also be the other way around in other words if the sex was good and the women sees the scratch later on she is going to remember the good sex and she is going to want more of ...
