The Kama Sutra is attributed to the scholar, Mallanaga Vatsayana (300 BC to 400 AD) and the book is a compendium of leading a cultured and aesthetic way of life. It is only the second chapter that deals with sexual intercourse and positions.   The repressive ideas about sex in the west were released from their shackles through the freely available translations of the Kama Sutra, the Ananga Ranga (11th Century AD), The Perfumed Garden of Sheikh Omar Ibn Muhammad al Nafzawi, The Cabinet Secret, the Mines of the Courtesans and other books like the Tales of the Genji.

But if you were under the impressions that books taught you to drive a woman to the Zenith of sexual ecstasy, then   you would be sadly mistaken. They liberated the man and the woman into accepting that sex was a joyful part of life.

One in five men haven’t a clue about sex and from what I have come to know from my casebook is that they, the man and the woman sort of grope around , fumble around and then sort of tumble into each other and soon enough the stork brings the baby home. Or the man goes like an unguided missile when he visits the local courtesan.  It is not as simple as that.

Generations of males all over the world are told that they have to be able to perform and this pressure becomes more when the man enters matrimony. Most males manage to pass the test but there are a fairly large number who flunk the test. This is where the books come in handy for they help the man and the woman develop a confidence in each other and in them.

The softer side of sex and sexual intercourse can actually be developed through the Love Songs of Ovid, the Poems of Sappho and the Song of Songs for instance.   There are several very old Sanskrit poems on love like this one from Bilhana: Even now;/ The pleased intimacy of rough love;/Upon the patient glory of her form;/Racks me with memory; and her bright dress;/As it were yellow flame, which the white hand;/Shamefastly gathers in her rising haste;/The slender grace of her departing feet.

These are sex books like hard core porn which brutalize sex but erotic poetry that inflame the senses in the most extraordinary way and thus pave the way for a better and more fulfilling sex life.

When you are beginning your exploration into the more sexual aspects of your life one of the first and most famous books that you might hear or read about is the Kama Sutra.

Of course, once you are ready to explore many of the different positions that are in the Kama Sutra you might find yourself ready to invest in a quality personal lubricant.

While water-based personal lubricants are perhaps the safest and healthiest sex lubes that you can choose from, perhaps you are ready to explore a silicone based sexual lubricant since they last longer and would allow you to explore many more sexual positions than a water based lube would.

One of the more popular silicone based personal lubricants on the market today is ironically enough called Kama Sutra Pleasure Potion.

However, before you find yourself buying this silicone based personal lubricant based solely on the name make sure you read the rest of this review to see how good of a product it really is as well as to discover a water-based alternative for those of you looking for a healthier option than what a silicone based personal lubricant can give you.

The first thing that most people look for when looking for a quality silicone based personal lubricant is a product that only has high quality silicones listed as its ingredients.
 
Kama Sutra Pleasure Potion ingredients:

• Cyclopentasiloxane
• Dimethiconol
• Cyclomethicone

As you can tell, Kama Sutra Pleasure Potion only includes high quality silicones, which means it passes one of the most important aspects to look for in a silicone based lubricant.

Of course, the other aspect is actually experiencing the lubricant for yourself or making a decision based on what others think.

When it comes to silicone based personal lubricants the one sex lubes that men and women alike have seem to agree they like more than others is the Oceanus Sensuals line of silicone based lubricants.

Then again if you are a health conscious person and while you understand the benefits of using a silicone based lubricant you still would prefer using a water based natural personal lubricant then consider Carrageenan All Natural Personal Lubricant which has a most like a woman feel to it and provides you with a host of health benefits that go far beyond simply giving you a great sexual experience.

Most people think the Kama Sutra is just an ancient Indian sex which is partly true and we have covered these areas in other articles.

Here however we will look at what the book is famed for the best Kama Sutra sex positions.

Written thousands of years ago, the advice is still strangely appropriate in many ways to today’s society and the sex positions below have never gone out of date..

There are many sexual positions described in the chapter covering the sexual union between couples, but there are three positions which were emphasized and noted as being better than all the others.

These are known as the three secret positions.

Secret Position 1 The Conch Shell and Crab

The woman is lying down on her back. The man raises her legs with her knees at 90 degrees to her upper body, and with her knees parted; the man will hook her feet over his thighs.

The man is on his knees, with his legs spread far apart (for stability) and he enters the woman in this way, his truck in perpendicular to the floor.

The man’s hands will rest on the woman’s breasts, fondling them, while he rocks her (no thrusting), causing an intense stimulation of her clitoris.

The position will drive the woman wild with pleasure, and fill her with love. The man finds this position intensely satisfying and soon arrives to an explosive orgasm and ejaculation.

Secret Position 2 Man Vanquished

The man will sit using his arms to hold his body up, with his legs spread apart. He is totally passive, and the entire active roll is for the woman.

She mounts him sitting thus, putting her legs over his, and supporting herself by resting her hands on his shoulders.

The woman has three basic movements, the Samdamsha or the ‘Tongs’, the Bhramara or the Bee, and Prenkholita or the Swing.

The tongs has the woman grasping the man’s penis in her vagina and not letting go. This requires a great deal of internal control from the woman.

The bee has the woman swiveling her hips and encircling the man’s penis in a round movement.

The swing has the woman swaying on the man’s body, as if she were on a see-saw.

Usually the woman will employ all three movements until her great moment comes for an orgasm of seismic capacity.

Secret Position 3 Inverted Love

The man lies on his back, and the woman, mounts him, but with her head pointed towards his feet.

She is in a crawling position, on all fours, but penetrated by the man.

She rocks back and forth, and the man assists by powerful counter-thrusting as she eases back down on him.

This position stimulates a woman’s clitoris and g-spot with the woman guiding the movement to achieve maximum stimulation.

A simultaneous orgasm for the couple is assured, and one in which both finds love for the other.

The man also has a very stimulating view of the action and his own excitement is raised to new level of pleasure.

Here we have focused on the sex positions but there is much more to the Kama Sutra and any man should read this book

It is a guide for a man’s life, from his adolescence till old age, of which sex is only one element, so read more about the Kama Sutra and you can enhance your whole life not just your sex life.
