Today we’ll talk about Kama Sutra or the oldest Sanskrit textbook about erotic love. Written by Vatsyayana – an Indian philosopher that over the time became the guru of intricate sex position- this famous go-to guide to intimate sex can still make people blush even today. So, if you want to learn more details about the most famous 10 sex positions from the Kama Sutra, we’ll be your guide and give you all the details you need.
Although the manuscript itself is more of a spiritual book that talks about how to sustain a healthy, happy relationship and less a guide dedicated to actual positions, that section is definitely a heavy one. That particular chapter teaches men how to prioritize women’s pleasure by focusing on the way they touche her and the whole physical connection.
Of course, the book also contains intriguing sex positions that require flexibility and athletic features but if you’re less agile there are also several moves that will spare your spine. Because good sex is not about crazy backbends but about experimenting with your partner positions that you can adapt to or give your best shot.
