Contrary to popular opinion, the Kama Sutra is not a glossy coffee-table collection of sex positions and ways to use a peacock's feather. In truth, it's an ancient and holy text covering everything from genital piercings to cheating: there are chapters regarding sex work, the effects of various intoxicants on sexual intercourse, sadomasochism and much more. For something so old it really does justice to the depth and complexity of human sexuality.

The pared-down versions sold in sex shops the world over can be fun, but they're not quite the real deal - you'll have to hunt a little more carefully for a fuller translation. Flicking through the sex positions in the usual abridgements can be fun, but you'll learn a lot more from truly delving into the concepts behind tantra as a sexual philosophy.

What is the Kamasutra? 

An ancient Hindu text written by Vātsyāyana that is seen as a textbook on human sexuality. It contains some practical advice on sex but is mostly prose with some poetry added in. However, it is much more than a sex manual it is a guide to living a virtuous life that includes love and desire.

What is the Kamasutra all about?

‘Kama’ means desire and is one of the 4 goals of Hindu life and ‘Sutra’ literally means a thread holding things together but in this context is most likely to mean a collection of aphorisms. So there are pictures and instructions for complex sexual positions in the Kamasutra but that isn’t its only purpose. Most of it is philosophical, talking about what sparks desire and how to maintain it. There is a strong connection in the book between sexuality and spirituality. And many themes around pleasure and family life are covered from courtesans to finding a wife.

Are the Kamasutra positions usable?

Some of the more ambitious ones may depend on your flexibility but others are staples of sex tips articles. If you’re inspired, give one a go. Anything that encourages a bit of fun and spice in your sex life is a good thing.

Has the Kamasutra got anything to do with BDSM?

It isn’t a BDSM play book but there are themes in the Kamasutra which could enrich your BDSM play. It teaches respect for all partners and offers positions that emphasise dominance and submission.

Tantric sex - an Indian practice originating from the writings of the Kama Sutra - is not usually associated with fetish or kink. In some ways it's almost its opposite: tantra focuses on gentle touch, slow movements and equal bonding. That doesn't mean that the ancient sexual arts have nothing to teach us, though! Time spent working on sensation and intimacy can do wonders for the bond between a dominant partner and their submissive, and who doesn't like the idea of achieving the fabled "hour-long orgasm"? If you're interested in a little exploration, it's worth seeking out a professional teacher. There's plenty of information available online, make sure to check out the yab yum position and the tantric chair. Finding a teacher who has learned the traditions in the traditional manner is however essential to really get the best results.
The usual story goes that 'foreplay' is all the stuff you get up to during sex that isn't, you know, mechanical thrusting. You've probably heard a lot of stuff about how women need it more than men do, too - as though generalisations like that are either helpful or accurate! Here at Fetish.com, we're huge fans of all the activities involved in what people call foreplay - but not necessarily of the concept itself. Sex isn't always between one person with a penis and another with a vagina, it doesn't always start and end with perfectly defined boundaries and the literal fucking doesn't always have to be the most important part! Rather than looking at your sexual encounters as a three course meal where the PIV is the main event, think of them as a buffet: you can try a little bit of everything, go back as often as you like, and have things in any order you fancy.
Pornography isn't always visual. For many people, the hottest porn of all is to be read rather than watched - and erotica is huge business. There are plenty of specialised publishers putting erotica out, so whatever your tastes you'll be able to find erotica that works brilliantly for you. Just don't be afraid to shop around a little before finding an author you love - everyone has their own style, and there's something out there to get you going if only you can find it! Have a look through some free samples to find an author you like, and then see if there are any other authors they recommend as similar to them.
