Kama Sutra

Kama Sutra

According to the web encyclopedia, the Kama Sutra… "is an ancient Indian text on human sexual behavior, widely considered to be the standard work on love in Sanskrit literature."

The text is believed to have been written sometime between the 1st and 6th century, A.D. Sanskrit literature is India's oldest language, and is considered to be the mother of all Indian language.

The book itself consists of 35 chapters, sub-categorized into seven parts and each written by an individual considered to be the expert in each field.

The introduction is four chapters long and discusses love and its place in mans existence along with a classification of women.( maidens, women twice married, and public women)

This is followed by 10 chapters on sexual union and discusses the art of kissing, foreplay, orgasm, sexual positions, oral sex, and sex with one or more partners at the same time.

Acquisition, or "how to get a wife, Hindu style" is discussed in the following 5 chapters, and how she should behave takes up the next two.

There are six chapters on seduction, six on courtesans ( a prostitute of high status), the last two chapters are entirely devoted to how to become attractive to other people, and is what this article is about.

Kama Sutra as an alternative health topic includes nutrition and exercise geared toward increasing your sexual prowess and enjoyment.

The foods you should eat include drinking milk with honey at sunrise every morning (increases sex drive), grinding pumpkin seeds and then mixing them with almonds and sugar cane root, strips of bamboo and then poured into the milk and honey, and eating wheat flour cake ( also made with honey and pumpkin seeds.

Why rice pudding is traditionally served as a dessert in East Indian meals? Thickened with cream and mixed (once again) with wild honey, it is believed to give lovers strength. (It's the East Indian way of saying "thanks for eating dinner at our restaurant, now go home and have a great evening!")

If you need a scientific reason for the pumpkin seeds and honey, pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of zinc, which is necessary for sexual function in men.

In fact, a zinc deficiency can cause impotence. (By the way, oysters contain very high levels of zinc, in case you were wondering.)

Honey also contains a level of zinc, but research shows that honey is considered and aphrodisiac not only for the level of zinc, but mostly for its consistency, sweetness, and color.

It will also give you the sugar boost you may like to temporarily increase your energy.

In both men and women, the inability to reach orgasm has to do with lack of histamines. To increase your histamine production you can eat foods with a high level of vitamin B6 and 12, and anything with a high concentrate of folic acid( such as asparagus, peanuts, mushrooms and egg yolks.

I advise a large mushroom and asparagus omelet.)

One of the most basic exercises of the Kama Sutra is how to breathe correctly. This is handy not only for increasing sex drive, but can help ease stress and nerves throughout the day.

To breathe better you must learn to breathe deeply and slowly. This is best practiced at first by lying on your back in loose fitting clothing with your hand on your lower stomach.

Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Notice how much your stomach moves as you practice this, as it should rise and fall with each breath.

Now that you know how to breathe correctly you may move onto other Kama Sutra exercises, the PC muscle is located between the genital and the anus.

To find it, make your self start and stop peeing. Feel that muscle? That's the one. Practice contracting it 30 times in rapid succession, (to the count of one.)

Not only is that all there is to it, you can do this exercise pretty much anywhere at anytime.

Kegal squeezes use the same muscle, and the contractions are shorter and held for a longer time, to the count of three.

To end this article with a little bonus hint: According to the Kama Sutra, size really does not matter.

What matters is the type of stimulation a woman receives in the first three inches of the vaginal wall.

Be careful out there.
