Kamasutra sex
Medically Reviewed by Dan Brennan, MD on June 29, 2021
The term Kama Sutra comes from an ancient Hindu textbook written in Sanskrit about erotic love called The Kamasutra . Very little is known about its author, Vatsyayana Mallanga, other than his name. It was written probably sometime in the third century.
Contrary to popular belief, The Kamasutra is not only a book about lovemaking and different sex positions. It covers other topics such as the art of living well, the nature of love, finding a life partner, and taking care of your love life. The sexual concepts that most people associate with the Kama Sutra became known in Western culture at the end of the 19th century, with the adaptation of the Kamasutra manual by a British explorer named Richard Francis Burton.
While considered in retrospect a wildly inaccurate and misleading translation, the sexual positions described in Burton’s version are what caught people’s attention. That’s one reason people still think of the Kama Sutra as only a book of exotic sex positions.
The Kamasutra was written in an abstract and vague form of Sanskrit, which has made it hard to accurately translate it to modern English. It is made up of 1,250 verses that are split into 36 chapters. The overall book is separated into 7 different parts:
The book begins with an introduction and history of the four aims of Hindu life. It includes advice and philosophy on topics such as how to live an honorable life and how to acquire knowledge.
2. Suvarnanabha — Amorous Advances and Sexual Union
Part two goes straight into the sexual content that many people associate with the Kamasutra . There are details on 64 different types of sexual acts, everything from embracing and kissing to more aggressive acts like grabbing and slapping. 
Part three focuses on the life of a bachelor and ways of courting a woman for marriage. They are mostly based on astrological compatibility and the benefits of marriage for the families involved — in accordance with the social caste system in India.
4. Gonardiya — Duties, and Privileges of The Wife
Part four discusses the author’s view of the traditional duties of a wife: cooking, cleaning, and catering to her husband. This section seems out of place with modern relationships and views about gender roles, but keep in mind that it was written thousands of years ago, in a different time and place.
5. Gonikaputra — Friends and Family
Part five outlines roles of different genders in non-sexual relationships. It teaches how to understand emotions and discusses ways to deepen bonds between family and friends.
Part six explores a man’s use of courtesans, or prostitutes, to build confidence in his sexual abilities before pursuing a wife. It also gives advice on fixing past relationships with friends and lovers, how to become wealthy, and what to look for in a committed partner.
The book finishes with a section on sexual legends, myths, and practices. This includes personal grooming, the use of perfumes and oils, and homeopathic remedies for sexual problems. 
While most of the poses are complex and difficult, there are some that are easy enough for most people to try. Examples include: 
This position is similar to the reverse cowgirl position. To begin, one partner lies down on their back, and the other climbs on top, sitting upright but facing toward their partner’s feet. The person on top rocks back and forth, controlling the pace and depth of the penetration.
One partner sits in a chair, preferably one with no arms. The other partner sits on top of them, facing away.
This position is a variation of the missionary position. Both partners lie down across a comfortable surface, their legs stretched out, and aligned. One partner lies on top of the other, bellies touching, while the other partner thrusts from the bottom position.
One partner lies on their back with knees bent to the chest. The other partner positions their thighs on the outside of the other person’s bent legs and leans forward.
One person stands and balances on one foot, then wraps their opposite leg around their partner’s waist for support.
One person stretches out flat and shifts their weight to one side, then raises a leg up and rests it on their partner’s shoulder. Their other leg remains stretched out underneath their partner.
One partner sits on a firm surface like a table and reclines back slightly. The other partner leans in, lifting the other person’s pelvis up, and cradling it securely. Then the seated person clasps their feet together behind the standing partner’s back.
Contrary to popular belief, the Kama Sutra explores many aspects of love, marriage, and a connection with a partner. 
Only strong, very flexible people can do Kama Sutra sex positions.
While some positions in Kama Sutra are pretty physically challenging, there are plenty that do not require more than average flexibility. 
Make sure you and your partner are physically able to try some of the Kama Sutra’s positions. If you feel any pain or discomfort in a pose, stop and try something else.

Plus, experts weigh in on the actual purpose of the text.
Text your group chat about mixing up your sex life, and they’ll recommend it. Do a quick online search, and you’ll be directed to it. Ask your sister (if that’s the kind of relationship you two have), and she’ll send you a link to order it online . I'm talking about the Kama Sutra , an ancient Sanskrit text that, over the years, has become the go-to guide for intricate sex positions.
The Kama Sutra, written by Indian philosopher Vatsyayana, has garnered a lot of attention for acting as a guidebook to what seems like every sex position ever (some waaaay more adventurous than others). But that’s not really the point.
"The Kama Sutra has been quite distorted in how it has circulated in translation in the U.S. and other parts of the western world," says Durba Mitra, PhD, an assistant professor of women, gender, and sexuality at Harvard University, and author of Indian Sex Life: Sexuality and the Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought . " Kama Sutra is a book of philosophy on ethics and aesthetics, never just an ancient text on sexual positions and sexual pleasure."
The original set of texts that became known as Kama Sutra "were actually about everything from urban living to statecraft, from perfumes to gardens," Mitra says. The "distortion" of the book happened "in part because the first edition of Kama Sutra in English was done by colonial enthusiast—and Orientalist—Richard Burton in the late nineteenth century," Mitra explains. Burton "wanted to create a fantasy for his English-speaking audience by portraying people of the East as hypersexual and unchanging, without history," notes Mitra. But, she adds, "Unfortunately, people still use these reductive, racist ideas to think about Indian sexuality in the past and present."
The Kama Sutra does address sex positions, but it’s really only in one section, points out Gigi Engle , a certified sex coach. "[It's] about the art of living and loving well and obtaining and maintaining the pleasures of life— including sex and love," confirms sex therapist Debra Laino , DHS.
That said, the section on sexuality is packed with a number of sex positions that promote emotional intimacy between partners by way of touch and physical connection. The ancient text even teaches that men should prioritize a woman’s pleasure over their own (hear hear!), by focusing on making sure she climaxes before even thinking about their own orgasm. The Kama Sutra section on sexuality "was designed to teach a man how to make sure that the woman was fully pleasured," says sex expert Seema Anand, author of The Arts of Seduction . "They believed that if the woman was fully pleasured, sex would go on for longer in a marriage," she adds. "It even says that if a man can pleasure a woman properly, his business will do better because she won’t spend your money needlessly, and that a man would even be a better warrior."
"It’s not so much about going in and being able to do all of these different positions," says Engle. It’s more about finding techniques and moves that you can connect with and that allow you to connect with your partner on more than one level.
Now that you're all caught up...ready to give these 17 Kama Sutra sex positions a whirl?
Kama Sutra is big on giving pleasure, and what better way than with a li'l oral loving? "The entire Kama Sutra talks about pleasure and the build-up to pleasure," Anand says. Get your foreplay off on the right foot by pleasuring your partner and vice versa. You can add cushions under your butt to help your partner reach different angles. Mixing up the angles "changes how you feel and can increase the pleasure," Anand advises.
Do it: Lie down, flat on your back. Then, have your partner climb on top, so they’re facing away from your upper body. Your genitals should be lined up with your partner's mouth, and their genitals should be lined up with yours. (You can also mix up who gets on top to try out even more angles.)
You’re in the driver’s seat here, which means you can control everything from the pace to the angle to the depth of this position. " Kama Sutra says that, when you’re on top, only move your hips and don’t move the upper part of your body," Anand explains. Moving more than just your hips could hurt your back. So, to keep the focus on pleasure, try to isolate your movements.
Do It: Have your partner sit on a chair or the edge of a bed, as you face them and sit on their lap.
Being seated is great because, again, you’re in control here. Kama Sutra was big on having women wear jewelry that could help guide them during sex, Anand says. "For seated positions, you wore a seven or nine-string necklace of pearls," she says. "You want the pearls to move from side to side very gently…the movement of the body will just flow." She recommends leaning back and lifting up slightly so you’re resting your weight on your partner’s knees.
Do It: Your partner sits and you sit on top, facing away from them.
The Spork position allows for plenty of eye contact while you bump and grind, and it also allows you to try a sexy Kama Sutra hack: Perfume different areas of your body. With Kama Sutra , "each part of the body had to be fragranced with a different perfume," Anand says. "You almost become a banquet of smells, textures, and tastes so that it encourages your partner to travel your body."
Do It: Lie on your back and raise your right leg so your partner can position their body between your legs at a 90-degree angle and enter you. Your left leg can lie straight out on the bed, or you can also bend it to manipulate the depth of penetration. For a rear-entry option, lie on your stomach, bend one leg, and have your partner position themselves in between your legs.
This fun, food-inspired position gives you the perks of doggy style while allowing you to gaze into each other’s eyes. "Make it a sensory experience and caress your partner’s backside, reach around and stimulate the nipples and breasts, and amplify the pleasure in this position through direct clitoral stimulation," says Shannon Chavez , PsyD, a licensed psychologist and K-Y’s sex therapist. You can crank things up even more by experimenting with different angles to find the one that’s just right for you, she adds.
Do It: Lie on your right side. Your partner kneels, straddling your right leg and curling your left leg around their left side.
Sure, ~technically~ you’re not face to face when you do it doggy style, but Laino has a hot workaround: Use a mirror. "Looking in a mirror...can aid in the presence of the sexual experience, as well as the eroticism and pleasure," she says. "There is also a very real trust emotion that comes from doing this as the person in the 'doggy' position is in a passive, vulnerable position." Whether you and your S.O. engage in a more aggressive or gentle tempo, both "fall in line with Kama Sutra as they are allowing for different types of pleasure-giving and receiving to and for each other," Laino says.
Do It: Get on all fours. Then, have your partner kneel behind you, with their upper body straight up or slightly draped over you.
The face-to-face element is great here, Laino says. She recommends talking and sharing fantasies—yup, even while you’re having sex—"for the ultimate intimacy experience." You can also rub your partner’s nipples, lock eyes, and kiss to ramp up the intimacy, Chavez says.
Do It: This is similar to a cowgirl sex position, but slightly different. You kneel on top, pushing off your partner's chest and sliding up and down their thighs. Your partner helps by supporting some of your weight and grabbing your hips or thighs while they rise to meet each thrust.
Called Padmasana or Lotus in the original Kama Sutra text, this passionate position is one that, according to Engle, is best done by grinding against your partner for clitoral stimulation, rather than bouncing up and down. If you're on top of your partner you can lower yourself onto their penis or a dildo, or if penetration's not your thing, you can rub up against them for outercourse .
Do It: Your partner sits cross-legged (yoga-/pretzel-style); you sit in their lap facing them. Wrap your legs around them and hug each other for support.
This is a good choice if you and your partner aren't especially flexible, since the move only requires that you can bend at the waist. And "if you have a height difference , you can put a couple of pillows underneath the other person, or you can utilize a sex pillow ," says Engle.
Do It: With your partner sitting on their knees, lie back with your legs resting on each of your partner's shoulders.
While this scissoring -type move lends itself to penetration, it's also a great one for girl-on-girl sex, where partners can manually stimulate each other with either a toy or their hands, says Engle.
Do It: Your partner sits, legs bent, leaning back on their hands and forearms. You do the same, and then inch toward them until you make contact.
This is another sex position where you might think bouncing is the right move, but grinding is definitely the way to go, says Engle. The Chairman is a great starter move for deep penetration, having your partner kiss your shoulders and your neck, and for nipple play, too.
Wanna take things up a notch? Bring in a sex toy and have your partner reach around you for manual stimulation.
Do It: Your partner sits on the edge of the bed and you sit on them, facing away while leaning back on them.
" Missionary is one of the most underrated positions," says Engle. Sure, it's basic but that doesn't mean it won't make you feel closer to your partner—after all, that's why it's in Kama Sutra . "There are so many different variations," and it's very intimate thanks to all that close eye contact and all those ~feels~, she adds.
Try stacking pillows underneath your pelvis so that your partner on top can thrust in an upward diagonal direction, grinding against your clitoris.
Do It: Lie on your back while your partner lies facedown on top of you.
This is a primo Kama Sutra move for deep penetration, says Engle. However, if you can't hold a bridge position, or your partner can't support your lower body with their arms, maybe move on to something else (because over-exertion is not sexy).
Do It: You get into a partial bridge position (like a pinball machine), with your weight resting on your shoulders. Your partner enters you from a kneeling position.
This one's a little more of a challenge, says Engle, since the natural curve of most penises or strap-ons don't really accommodate this position, but it's doable. (No wonder women tend to hate on this sex position.) Once you get your groove, it's a good time.
Pro tip: To up your range of movement when you're on top, Engle suggests putting a pillow under each knee.
Do It: Your partner lies on their back; you straddle them, facing their feet.
If you're feeling especially adventurous, try the Stand and Deliver. It's a Kama Sutra –approved move that's good for shallow penetration as is. If you're looking for deeper penetration, you can take it down to your knees instead—an adaptation which, Engle says, is a great way to compensate for a height difference.
And if you're the person on the receiving end and you're worried about falling when things get sweaty, Engle says to lean on a table or a chair for support.
Do It: With both of you standing, you bend over at the waist; they enter you from behind.
If balance starts to get tough while you and your partner are going at it in this sex position, don't get frustrated, says Engle. Instead, pivot. "Drop to your knees, and you can give that person a blow job or cunnilingus, or vice versa." The important thing is that you gave it a go.
Do It: Standing on one foot, face your partner and wrap your other leg around their waist while they help support you.
This intimate position is easier than it looks, says Engle. "It's a great opportunity to bring in something like a wand vibrator" for you to use on yourself at the same time. And whoever is in the seated position, rocking back and forth, might also consider using a butt plug for added stimulation.
Do It: Sit on the bed facing each other with legs forward. Lift your partner's right leg over your left and lift your right leg over their left. Come together so they can enter you. Now, both of you lie back, your legs forming an X. Slow, leisurely gyrations replace thrusting. Hello, intimacy!

A few thousand years ago, when Indian writer Vatsyayana was putting pen to paper and writing the text that would be known as the Kama Sutra , he couldn’t have foreseen the impact that his work would have on the world.
