VatsyayanaVatsyayana: Writer of the famous treatise on love, the Kamasutra.
Two thousand years ago, sage Vatsyayana wrote his landmark manuscript, the Kamasutra (erotic codes).
Page Last Updated: December 24,2006 The author establishes that the erotic arts spread all over India are not just based on the famous Kamasutra of Vatsyayana.
Indeed, Vatsyayana's list of the arts to be cultivated by a man and a woman, as essential to the fulfilling experience of kama, is so very long that one might feel discouraged in ever hoping to be a successful lover.
Vatsyayana is thoroughly realistic in advising that one should mate with one's own type, of temperament and feeling, and also physical make-up.
Above all, Vatsyayana says: "At all times, the man must carefully observe every action of the woman he loves, and so gauge her passion and preferences, and act accordingly, to give her the greatest pleasure." Nothing is to be hurried; nothing is tobe forced.
