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.

Ancient Indian Philosophy of Kama Sutra: On Foreplay
Chapter X Kama Sutra - On Foreplay, Post Coition & Lovers Quarrels
In the pleasure room, decorated with flowers, and fragrant with perfumes,
attended by his friends and servants, the citizen should receive the woman,
who will come bathed and dressed, and will invite her to take refreshment
and to drink freely. He should then seat her on his left side, and holding
her hair, and touching also the end and knot of her garment, he should gently
embrace her with his right arm. They should then carry on an amusing conversation
on various subjects, and may also talk suggestively of things which would
be considered as coarse, or not to be mentioned generally in society. They
may then sing, either with or without gesticulations, and play on musical
instruments, talk about the arts, and persuade each other to drink. At last
when the woman is overcome with love and desire, the citizen should dismiss
the people that may be with him, giving them flowers, ointments, and betel
leaves, and then when the two are left alone, they should proceed as has
been already described in the previous chapters.
Such is the beginning of sexual union. At the end of the congress, the lovers
with modesty, and not looking at each other, should go separately to the
washing-room. After this, sitting in their own places, they should eat some
betel leaves, and the citizen should apply with his own hand to the body
of the woman some pure sandal wood ointment, or ointment of some other kind.
He should then embrace her with his left arm, and with agreeable words should
cause her to drink from a cup held in his own hand, or he may give her water
to drink. They can then eat sweetmeats, or anything else, according to their
likings and may drink fresh juice, 1 soup, gruel, extracts of meat, sherbet,
the juice of mango fruits, the extract of the juice of the citron tree mixed
with sugar, or anything that may be liked in different countries, and known
to be sweet, soft, and pure. The lovers may also sit on the terrace of the
palace or house, and enjoy the moonlight, and carry on an agreeable conversation.
At this time, too, while the woman lies in his lap, with her face towards
the moon, the citizen should show her the different planets, the morning
star, the polar star, and the seven Rishis, or Great Bear. This is the end
of sexual union.
Congress is of the following kinds:
Loving congress
Congress of subsequent love
Congress of artificial love
Congress of transferred love
Congress like that of eunuchs
Deceitful congress
Congress of spontaneous love
When a man and a woman, who have been in love with each other for some time,
come together with great difficulty, or when one of the two returns from
a journey, or is reconciled after having been separated on account of a
quarrel, then congress is called the 'loving congress'. It is carried on
according to the liking of the lovers, and as long as they choose.
When two persons come together, while their love for each other is still
in its infancy, their congress is called the 'congress of subsequent love'.
When a man carries on the congress by exciting himself by means of the sixty-four
ways, such as kissing, etc., etc., or when a man and a woman come together,
though in reality they are both attached to different persons, their congress
is then called 'congress of artificial love'. At this time all the ways
and means mentioned in the Kama Shastra should be used.
When a man, from the beginning to the end of the congress, though having
connection with the woman, thinks all the time that he is enjoying another
one whom he loves, it is called the 'congress of transferred love'.
Congress between a man and a female water carrier, or a female servant of
a caste lower than his own, lasting only until the desire is satisfied,
is called 'congress like that of eunuchs'. Here external touches, kisses,
and manipulation are not to be employed.
The congress between a courtesan and a rustic, and that between citizens
and the women of villages, and bordering countries, is called 'deceitful
congress'.
The congress that takes place between two persons who are attached to one
another, and which is done according to their own liking is called 'spontaneous
congress'.
Thus end the kinds of congress.
We shall now speak of love quarrels.
A woman who is very much in love with a man cannot bear to hear the name
of her rival mentioned, or to have any conversation regarding her, or to
be addressed by her name through mistake. If such takes place, a great quarrel
arises, and the woman cries, becomes angry, tosses her hair about, strikes
her lover, falls from her bed or seat, and, casting aside her garlands and
ornaments, throws herself down on the ground.
At this time, the lover should attempt to reconcile her with conciliatory
words, and should take her up carefully and place her on her bed. But she,
not replying to his questions, and with increased anger, should bend down
his head by pulling his hair, and having kicked him once, twice, or thrice
on his arms, head, bosom or back, should then proceed to the door of the
room. Dattaka says that she should then sit angrily near the door and shed
tears, but should not go out, because she would be found fault with for
going away. After a time, when she thinks that the conciliatory words and
actions of her lover have reached their utmost, she should then embrace
him, talking to him with harsh and reproachful words, but at the same time
showing a loving desire for congress.
When the woman is in her own house, and has quarrelled with her lover, she
should go to him and show how angry she is, and leave him. Afterwards the
citizen having sent the Vita, the Vidushaka or the Pithamarda 2 to pacify
her, she should accompany them back to the house, and spend the night with
her lover.
Thus end the love quarrels.
In conclusion.
A man, employing the sixty-four means mentioned by Babhravya, obtains his
object, and enjoys the woman of the first quality. Though he may speak well
on other subjects, if he does not know the sixty-four divisions, no great
respect is paid to him in the assembly of the learned. A man, devoid of
other knowledge, but well acquainted with the sixty-four divisions, becomes
a leader in any society of men and women. What man will not respect the
sixty-four arts, considering they are respected by the learned, by the cunning,
and by the courtesans. As the sixty-four arts are respected, are charming,
and add to the talent of women, they are called by the Acharyas dear to
women. A man skilled in the sixty-four arts is looked upon with love by
his own wife, by the wives of others, and by courtesans.
