Sincerely,
In this webpage we have used the common spelling
'kamasutra'.
Alternative spellings include 'kama sutra, karma sutra, karmasutra and kama
shastra'.
Praised
be the three aims of life, virtue (dharma), prosperity
(artha), and love (kama), which are the
subject of this work.
Kama is the enjoyment of appropriate objects by the five
senses of hearing, feeling, seeing, tasting and smelling, assisted by the
mind together with the soul. The ingredient in this is a peculiar contact
between the organ of sense and its object, and the consciousness of pleasure
which arises from that contact is called Kama. (Kamasutra,
1883)
Kama is to be learnt from the Kamasutra (aphorisms on love)
and from the practice of citizens. (Kamasutra, 1883)
Though a woman is reserved, and keeps her feelings concealed; when she gets
on the top of a man, she shows all her love and desire. A man should gather
from the actions of the woman of what disposition she is, and in what way
she likes to be enjoyed. (Kamasutra, 1883)
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 (Kamasutra), 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. (Kamasutra, 1883)
An ingenious person should multiply the kinds of congress after the fashion
of the different kinds of beasts and of birds. For these different kinds
of congress, performed according to the usage of each country, and the liking
of each individual, generate love, friendship, and respect in the hearts
of women. (Kamasutra, 1883)
.. those things which increase passion should be done first, and those which
are only for amusement or variety should be done afterwards. (Kamasutra,
1883)
When the woman places one of her thighs across the
thigh of her lover it is called the 'twining position'.
When a woman forcibly holds in her yoni the lingam after it is in, it is
called the 'mare's position'. This is learnt by practice only, and is chiefly
found among the women of the Andhra country.
The above are the different ways of lying down, mentioned by Babhravya.
Suvarnanabha, however, gives the following in addition:
When the female raises both of her thighs straight up, it is called the
'rising position'.
When she raises both of her legs, and places them on her lover's shoulders,
it is called the 'yawning position'.
When the legs are contracted, and thus held by the lover before his bosom,
it is called the 'pressed position'.
When only one of her legs is stretched out, it is called the 'half pressed
position'.
When
the woman places one of her legs on her lover's shoulder, and stretches
the other out, and then places the latter on his shoulder, and stretches
out the other, and continues to do so alternately, it is called the 'splitting
of a bamboo'.
When one of her legs is placed on the head, and the other is stretched out,
it is called the 'fixing of a nail'. This is learnt by practice only.
When both the legs of the woman are contracted, and placed on her stomach,
it is called 'crab's position'.
When the thighs are raised and placed one upon the other, it is called the
'packed position'.
When the shanks are placed one upon the other, it is called the 'lotus-like
position'.
When
a man, during congress, turns round, and enjoys the woman without leaving
her, while she embraces him
round the back all the time, it is called the 'turning position', and is
learnt only by practice.
Thus, says Suvarnanabha, these different ways of lying down, sitting, and
standing should be practised in water, because it is easy to do so therein.
But Vatsyayana is of opinion that congress in water is improper, because
it is prohibited by the religious law.
When a man and a woman support themselves on each other's bodies, or on
a wall, or pillar, and thus while standing engage in congress, it is called
the 'supported congress'.
When a man supports himself against a wall, and the woman, sitting on his
hands joined together and held underneath her, throws her arms round his
neck, and putting her thighs alongside his waist, moves herself by her feet,
which are touching the wall against which the man is leaning, it is called
the 'suspended congress'.
When a woman stands on her hands and feet like a quadruped, and her lover
mounts her like a bull, it is called the 'congress of a cow'. At this time
everything that is ordinarily done on the bosom should be done on the back.
In
the same way can be carried on the congress of a dog, the congress of a
goat, the congress of a deer, the forcible mounting of an ass, the congress
of a cat, the jump of a tiger, the pressing of an elephant, the rubbing
of a boar, and the mounting of a horse. And in all these cases the characteristics
of these different animals should be manifested by acting like them.
When a man enjoys two women at the same time, both of whom love him equally,
it is called the 'united congress'.
When a man enjoys many women altogether, it is called the 'congress of a
herd of cows'.
The following kinds of congress-sporting in water, or the congress of an
elephant with many female elephants which is said to take place only in
the water, the congress of a collection of goats, the congress of a collection
of deer take place in imitation of these animals.
In
Gramaneri many young men enjoy a woman that may be married to one of them,
either one after the other, or at the same time. Thus one of them holds
her, another enjoys her, a third uses her mouth, a fourth holds her middle
part, and in this way they go on enjoying her several parts alternately.
The same things can be done when several men are sitting in company with
one courtesan, or when one courtesan is alone with many men. In the same
way this can be done by the women of the king's harem when they accidentally
get hold of a man.
The people in the Southern countries have also a congress in the anus, that
is called the 'lower congress'.

Physics (and thus all human knowledge) evolved from Newton's concepts of particles and forces in Space and Time, which assumes the existence of four separate things. This causes many problems for Humanity because the necessary connection between these things is unknown. Einstein failed to solve this with his unified field theory of matter which describes reality in terms of matter-energy (fields) in space-time. The Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) solves these problems by describing Reality in terms of One thing, Space, existing with the Properties of a Wave Medium. Matter is formed from Spherical Standing Waves in Space which cause the 'particle' effect at their Wave Center. Time is due to the Wave Motion (activity) of Space. Forces / fields are caused by the interaction of the Spherical In and Out Waves with other matter in Space which changes the wave velocity and thus location of the Wave-Center (and which we 'see' as a 'force accelerating a particle').

(George Berkeley, 1710) Nothing seems of more importance,
towards erecting a firm system of sound and real knowledge, which may be
proof against the assaults of skepticism, than to lay the beginning in a
distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for
in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend
to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those
words.
