Introduction / Summary (2018): Hello and welcome to our Sexuality pages. While this is not a pornographic site, it is provocative - founded upon what people search on the Internet (which is very interesting!). We then relate this to our biological and cultural evolution.
Sex is obviously important to people - and if you want to improve your sexual relationships then knowing the truth about our human evolution is the best foundation. By opening our minds to a greater diversity of behaviors, this knowledge will help you creatively cultivate healthy pleasurable moral attitudes and sexy smutty relationships (free from religious guilt & cultural myths).
Support an open honest discussion on the truth of our sexual evolution and behaviour. If you support sex positive, moral, informed sexual behaviour please share this knowledge. (These pages have a diverse collection of fascinating information relating to our human sexual evolution so people will appreciate it - see our 'nice letters' page!).
Sincerely, Karene.
"It is not enough to conquer; one must learn to seduce." (Voltaire) - "Desire is the essence of a man." (Spinoza)
Kama Sutra
Kama Sutra: Pleasure & Pain: Sighs & Blows
Kama Sutra: Sighs and Blows
Sexual intercourse can be compared to a quarrel, on account of the contrarieties
of love and its tendency to dispute. The place of striking with passion
is the body, and on the body the special places are:
The shoulders
The head
The space between the breasts
The back
The jaghana, or middle part of the body
The sides
Striking is of four kinds:
Striking with the back of the hand
Striking with the fingers a little contracted
Striking with the fist
Striking with the open palm of the hand
On account of its causing pain, striking gives rise to the hissing sound,
which is of various kinds, and to the eight kinds of crying:
The sound Hin
The thundering sound
The cooing sound
The weeping sound
The sound Phut
The sound Phât
The sound Sût
The sound Plât
Besides these, there are also words having a meaning, such as 'mother',
and those that are expressive of prohibition, sufficiency, desire of liberation,
pain or praise, and to which may be added sounds like those of the dove,
the cuckoo, the green pigeon, the parrot, the bee, the sparrow, the flamingo,
the duck, and the quail, which are all occasionally made use of.
Blows with the fist should be given on the back of the woman while she is
sitting on the lap of the man, and she should give blows in return, abusing
the man as if she were angry, and making the cooing and the weeping sounds.
While the woman is engaged in congress the space between the breasts should
be struck with the back of the hand, slowly at first, and then proportionately
to the increasing excitement, until the end.
At this time the sounds Hin and others may be made, alternately or optionally,
according to habit. When the man, making the sound Phât, strikes the
woman on the head, with the fingers of his hand a little contracted, it
is called Prasritaka, which means striking with the fingers of the hand
a little contracted. In this case the appropriate sounds are the cooing
sound, the sound Phât and the sound Phut in the interior of the mouth,
and at the end of congress the sighing and weeping sounds. The sound Phât
is an imitation of the sound of a bamboo being split, while the sound Phut
is like the sound made by something falling into water. At all times when
kissing and such like things are begun, the woman should give a reply with
a hissing sound. During the excitement when the woman is not accustomed
to striking, she continually utters words expressive of prohibition, sufficiently,
or desire of liberation, as well as the words 'father', 'mother', intermingled
with the sighing, weeping and thundering sounds. 1 Towards the conclusion
of the congress, the breasts, the jaghana, and the sides of the woman should
be pressed with the open palms of the hand, with some force, until the end
of it, and then sounds like those of the quail or the goose should be made.
There are two verses on the subject as follows:
'The characteristics of manhood are said to consist of roughness and impetuosity,
while weakness, tenderness, sensibility, and an inclination to turn away
from unpleasant things are the distinguishing marks of womanhood. The excitement
of passion, and peculiarities of habit may sometimes cause contrary results
to appear, but these do not last long, and in the end the natural state
is resumed.'
The wedge on the bosom, the scissors on the head, the piercing instrument
on the cheeks, and the pinchers on the breasts and sides, may also be taken
into consideration with the other four modes of striking, and thus give
eight ways altogether. But these four ways of striking with instruments
are peculiar to the people of the southern countries, and the marks caused
by them are seen on the breasts of their women. They are local peculiarities,
but Vatsyayana is of opinion that the practice of them is painful, barbarous,
and base, and quite unworthy of imitation.
In the same way anything that is a local peculiarity should not always be
adopted elsewhere, and even in the place where the practice is prevalent,
excess of it should always be avoided. Instances of the dangerous use of
them may be given as follows. The king of the Panchalas killed the courtesan
Madhavasena by means of the wedge during congress. King Satakarni Satavahana
of the Kuntalas deprived his great Queen Malayavati of her life by a pair
of scissors, and Naradeva, whose hand was deformed, blinded a dancing girl
by directing a piercing instrument in a wrong way.
There are also two verses on the subject as follows:
'About these things there cannot be either enumeration or any definite rule.
Congress having once commenced, passion alone gives birth to all the acts
of the parties.'
'Such passionate actions and amorous gesticulations or movements, which
arise on the spur of the moment, and during sexual intercourse, cannot be
defined, and are as irregular as dreams. A horse having once attained the
fifth degree of motion goes on with blind speed, regardless of pits, ditches,
and posts in his way; and in the same manner a loving pair become blind
with passion in the heat of congress, and go on with great impetuosity,
paying not the least regard to excess. For this reason one who is well acquainted
with the science of love, and knowing his own strength, as also the tenderness,
impetuosity, and strength of the young women, should act accordingly. The
various modes of enjoyment are not for all times or for all persons, but
they should only be used at the proper time. and in the proper countries
and places.'
The Kama Sutra of Vatsayayana, Sir Richard Burton, translator (1883)
