Kamasutra – lying down positions
May 15, 2008
Sage Vatsyayana’s Kamasutra is the much ancient and referred text in the art of lovemaking. The love positions as explained in this holy text have made the physical pleasure a more thrilling and unique experience for its followers. This article series is an humble attempt to explore the lovemaking positions as explained in the most read text.
In the Kamasutra, when a woman, clinging to a man as a creeper twines round a tree, bends his head down to hers with the desire of kissing him and slightly makes the sound of sut sut, embraces him, and looks lovingly towards him, it is called the ‘twining of a creeper’.
When a woman, having placed one of her feet on the foot of her lover, and the other on one of his thighs, passes one of her arms round his back, and the other on his shoulders, makes slightly the sounds of singing and cooing, and wishes, as it were, to climb up him in order to have a kiss, In the Kamasutra it is called an embrace like the ‘climbing of a tree’.
In the Kamasutra these two kinds of embrace take place at the time of sexual union:
When lovers lie on a bed, and embrace each other so closely that the arms and thighs of the one are encircled by the arms and thighs of the other, and are, as it were, rubbing up against them, this is called an embrace like ‘the mixture of sesame seed with rice’.
In the Kamasutra when a man and a woman are very much in love with each other, and, not thinking of any pain or hurt, embrace each other as if they were entering into each other’s bodies either while the woman is sitting on the lap of the man, or in front of him, or on a bed, then it is called an embrace like a ‘mixture of milk and water’.
Babhravya has thus related to us the above eight kinds of embraces. Suvarnanabha moreover gives us four ways of embracing simple members of the body.
On the occasion of a `high congress” the Mrigi (Deer) woman should lie down in such a way as to widen her yoni, while in a `low congress” the Hastini (Elephant) woman should lie down so as to contract hers. In the Kamasutra an `equal congress” they should lie down in the natural position. What is said above concerning the Mrigi and the Hastini applies also to the Vadawa (Mare) woman. In a `low congress the woman should particularly make use of medicine, to cause her desires to be satisfied quickly.
When she raises her thighs and keeps them wide apart and engages in congress, it is called the `yawning position”. When she places her thighs with her legs doubled on them upon her sides, and thus engages in congress, In the Kamasutra it is called the position of Indrani and this is learnt only by practice. The position is also useful in the case of the `highest congresses’. The `clasping position” is used in `low congress”, and in the `lowest congress”, together with the `pressing position”, the `twining position”, and the `mare’’s position”.
When the legs of both the male and the female are stretched straight out over each other, it is called the `clasping position”. It is of two kinds, the side position and the supine position, according to the way in which they lie down. In the Kamasutra in the side position the male should invariably lie on his left side, and cause the woman to lie on her right side, and this rule is to be observed in lying down with all kinds of women.
