Vatsyayana's Kamasutra as an ancient acknowledgement of holistic living (1922 words)
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.
