In the days, when people hunted mammoths, sex might resemble coupling of wild animals. But time has passed, man developed, culture developed, as well as the culture of sex relations between men and women. India is a country, which has always had very developed erotic culture and no wonder, that right this country is the motherland of the first encyclopedia of sex – the Kamasutra. Though this book described for the first time in details techniques and different sex positions, in general, its content embraced much wider spectrum of issues about relations of men and women. Unfortunately, modern world takes the Kamasutra only as a collection of sex poses, leaving without attention the bigger and more important part of this ancient Indian cultural creation.

‘HASTAMAITHUNA’

The history of masturbation describes broad changes in society concerning the ethics, social attitudes, scientific study, and artistic depiction of masturbation over the history of human sexuality. The sexual stimulation of one’s own genitals has been interpreted variously by different religions, the subject of legislation, social controversy, activism, as well as intellectual study in sexology. Social views regarding masturbation taboo have varied greatly in different cultures, and over history.

‘PADMA’
…………………………………………………………………………..
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).

‘HIRANA’
…………………………………………………………………………..
If the lady, eager for love,
goes on all fours, humping her back like a doe,
and you enjoy her from behind,
rutting as though you’d lost all human nature,
it is “Hirana” (the Deer).

‘RATISUNDARA’
…………………………………………………………………………..
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).

‘BAHUCHUSHITA’
…………………………………………………………………………..
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).

‘SANGARA’
………………………………………………………………………….
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).

‘MANMATHPRIYA’
………………………………………………………………………….
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).

‘KIRTIBANDHA’
…………………………………………………………………………..
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).
