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.

The basis of Judeo-Christian sexual prohibitions, as well as the sexual prohibitions of religions such as Islam, spring from ancient Jewish tribal law. In those days wives were considered “property” and laws were specifically codified to protect three things: livestock, wives and dwellings.

The priests and the prophets of the Judeo Christian tradition realized that by controlling the sex life of their subjects they would attain a significant degree of control over the people’s personal and spiritual lives. The threat of an eternal hell of fire-and-brimstone not only bolstered this control but it allowed the church to commercialize the forgiveness of sexual sin — a predisposition that was solidly programmed into our “survival of the species” In Islamic countries you need to go back to the pre-Islamic era of countless warring tribes and the efforts of The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) to bring all of them under the banner of the God’s divine teachings. Life is ordered and regulated by God and his messenger, the Prophet (PBUH) has transmitted the word to the people.

Coming to the subject of sexuality, in Islam it is confined to the bonds of marriage Sex is also viewed as recreation but again only within marriage. Islamic beliefs stress that there is divine reward for sex within marriage and that both partners are entitled to sexual gratification. Similar injunctions about wayward sex can be found in Hindu scriptures The book, Bhagvat Gita which means “ Song of the Lord” has this verse: “ O, Son of Kunti, the pleasures that are born out of sensory contacts are sources of pain. They certainly are transient, having a beginning and an end. The intelligent man is wise enough not to indulge in them” (Chap., v: 22) Even the Kama Sutra which is often tarred with the brush of soft porn raises sex to a spiritual level. In Hinduism, Enlightenment is the ultimate goal of life and yet it encourages people to enjoy everything and thus fulfill all material desires. Enlightenment is a long process and can be achieved only when all material desires are quenched. Thus you find two methods, the Way of the Renunciate and the Way of the Householder. Then there is one more method, the Way of Tantra which in its bastardized form is popular with westerners looking for a Quick Fix to all their problems.

Other than just burning fat, Yoga asanas help loads in your sex life too.

By making you flexible enough to have sex in the oddest positions possible? Not just that, there is a lot more to yoga than what you think.

Yoga’s point or meaning is ‘union’. Your sexual drive originates in the mind, the performance in the body, so the union of both results into a very alert, calm and controlled use of your drive and sexual skills.

Now how do you go about this unification? IT TAKES TIME for starters, the point is unification: Do a plough stance and assume you are a plough, what is a plough? it digs, are you digging? what do you want to sprout?

get my point, get over the whole process of doubt, know yourself completely to be in peace.

In physical aspects, maintaining the asanas for a period of time requires endurance and considerable skill and physical focus.

This also builds up flexibility and strength, complete with deep breathing, also increases stamina as well improves the control on the use of stamina.

This is best I can go about online:

try to understand, be creative and mainly, be at peace to put the prescribed exercises to complete use.

* sit down and extend your legs as far as possible
* grab both of your toes
* slowly bring your head to the floor
* breath 5-10 times
* At this point imagine your body sinking deep, dropping things, subtracting the evil from itself, what do you subtract, why, when

Bhujasana

* place your hands near your hips (reverse the direction of the fingers for forearm growth)
* keep raising your back till you feel some pain at the lower back

Halasana

* lie down on your back with your spine and hands completely relaxed.
