Our quickly-becomes-boring Western get-on,<br />
get-in, get-off type of sex cannot begin to<br />
rival the sex described in the Kama Sutra because<br />
the latter is about the entire sexual experience.<br />
get-off type of sex cannot begin to rival the sex described in the Kama Sutra<br />
because the latter is about the entire sexual experience.<br />
Kama Sutra sex has a beginning, middle and end – instead of just<br />
focusing on the middle, like Western sex does.<br />
First, the Kama Sutra gives instructions on how to prepare yourself<br />
and your environment for lovemaking. It then talks about multiple ways to<br />
have foreplay in order to “energize” the woman (yeah!).<br />
It then shows many different options for positions. <strong>The</strong> possible<br />
combinations are endless, enabling you to mix sex up each and every time.<br />
You may be asking, “If Kama Sutra sex is so great, why aren’t more<br />
people jumping on the band wagon?” Well, if you want to be authentic, you<br />
read Richard Burton’s original translated version of Vatsyayana’s work –<br />
and it is deadly boring. Did I mention it’s also complicated? He talks about<br />
yonis and bulls and other euphemisms that are unfamiliar to our Western<br />
sensibilities. It’s intimidating and off-putting for the average couple.<br />
Luckily, Anne Hooper came out with Kama Sutra for 21 st Century<br />
Lovers. It’s the best version I’ve seen on the store shelf because it is written<br />
in understandable language and the photos are superb. Or if you want to be<br />
more authentic, Deepak Chopra is trying to cash in on his name with his<br />
own beautiful version of Kama Sutra.<br />
If you’ve done the math, then yes, Kama Sutra takes more bedroom<br />
work. Time-starved couples look at it, roll their eyes and say, “No thanks.”<br />
Please remember though, good sex gives you and your relationship a<br />
much-needed injection of energy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 10 or 15 minutes of extra time required will take your sex from<br />
blah to bravo. MP<br />
