What is the Kamasutra?

The Kamasutra is a guidebook originating from India, the contents of which are dedicated to the Far Eastern art of love. Based on the idea of giving interested readers suggestions for a varied and fulfilling sex life, the "verses of desire" describe both spiritual and sexual techniques in a very vivid way.

 

Sex positions from the Kamasutra

While the original version of Vatsyayana Mallanaga deals with tips for choosing a partner, instructions for wooing chosen partner, and explanations of kissing, scratching, and biting behavior among other things, the Kamasutra has been appended again and again since its first writings in 250 AD. While there were initially 62 positions presented in the Kamasutra, there are now copies that illustrate more than 200 positions.

Disclaimer: Heteronormativity!

Since the Kamasutra is almost 2,000 years old, it's a little dusty on the whole queerness topic. These positions were all thought to involve a man and a woman; however, that doesn't mean you can't get creative with them whatever gender you identify with or are attracted to! Please excuse the heteronormative language here and be sure to know that JOYclub supports sex positivity in allsexual orientations.
