Chapter VI. Of Gains and Losses, Attendant Gains and Losses, and Doubts; and Lastly, the Different Kinds of Courtesans Each of these pursuits became a subject of study and led to prolific Sanskrit and some Prakrit languages literature in ancient India. Along with Dharmasastras, Arthasastras and Mokshasastras, the Kamasastras genre have been preserved in palm leaf manuscripts. The Kamasutra belongs to the Kamasastra genre of texts. Other examples of Hindu Sanskrit texts on sexuality and emotions include the Ratirahasya (called Kokashastra in some Indian scripts), the Anangaranga, the Nagarasarvasva, the Kandarpachudmani, and the Panchasayaka. [40] [41] [42] The defining object of the Indian Kamasastra literature, according to Laura Desmond – an anthropologist and a professor of Religious Studies, is the "harmonious sensory experience" from a good relationship between "the self and the world", by discovering and enhancing sensory capabilities to "affect and be affected by the world". [42] Vatsyayana predominantly discusses Kama along with its relationship with Dharma and Artha. He makes a passing mention of the fourth aim of life in some verses.

Written (likely) by the philosopher Vatsyayana possibly around the 2nd century AD, scholars believe his intention was to highlight one of the four virtues of life. Kama, as previously mentioned, indicates enjoying the senses; the other three goals are dharma (virtuous living), artha (material wealth), and moksha (liberation—usually indicating freedom from the cycle of reincarnation). Before moving to the pleasures of life, Vatsyayana first discusses the higher goals.

Among the surviving temples in north India, one in Rajasthan sculpts all the major chapters and sexual positions to illustrate the Kamasutra. Kamasutra více než zřetelně ukazuje, že pouhý sexuální akt bez lásky, úcty a něhy není ničím víc než uspokojením pudů, podobně, jako se žíznivý člověk potřebuje napít vody. Správné pochopení umění lásky spočívá v tom druhého přijmout a milovat a teprve poté se ze vzájemné blízkosti a přitažlivosti mohou zrodit další plody takového vztahu, jako je nasycení sexuální touhy a extáze. V tomto smyslu by se člověk měl seznámit se všemi polohami kamasutry, které osvěží uvadající sexuální život a přinesou i plody vzájemné lásky, tedy děti. Jak lidé přistupují ke kamasutře v současnosti?

The Kama Sutra is divided into 7 books, each dealing with a different aspect of life, love and sexuality.

At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained. One of the enduring appeals of the Kamasutra is that is goes beyond the usual missionary or doggy style positions and provides guidance on how to embrace, where each partner stands, sits or lies, where to put or pull legs, knees, chest and arms. It also advises which positions are best for giving and receiving pleasure for the man or the woman and which positions leave the hands The life of an urban gentleman, work routine, entertainment and festivals, sports, picnics, socialization, games, entertainment and drinking parties, finding aids (messengers, friends, helpers) to improve success in kama, options for rural gentlemen, what one must never do in their pursuit of kamaOther examples include the Nyaya Sutras, an important work on logic and metaphysics from the Nyaya school of Hindu philosophy, and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, which as the name suggests is one of the key foundational texts on the practice of yoga. 2 The author of the Kama Sutra was celibate The author of the `Five Arrows’ was one Jyotirisha. He is called the chief ornament of poets, the treasure of the sixty-four arts, and the best teacher of the rules of music. The Kamasutra, states the Indologist and Sanskrit literature scholar Ludo Rocher, discourages adultery but then devotes "not less than fifteen sutras (1.5.6–20) to enumerating the reasons ( karana) for which a man is allowed to seduce a married woman". Vatsyayana mentions different types of nayikas (urban girls) such as unmarried virgins, those married and abandoned by husband, widow seeking remarriage and courtesans, then discusses their kama/sexual education, rights and mores. [83] In childhood, Vātsyāyana says, a person should learn how to make a living; youth is the time for pleasure, and as years pass, one should concentrate on living virtuously and hope to escape the cycle of rebirth.
