Synopsis Among all the classical works on erotica, Vatsyayana's Kamasutra is easily the most important and the best known. Vatsyayana, an heir to a rich legacy, scientifically and meticulously incorporated the various schools of thought on the subject in this book. The result is a detailed treatise covering the entire spectrum of love-making: the classification of males and females according to their passion and build, the various possibilities in love-play and sexual union for greater joy and satisfaction, the instruments of love-making, the psychology of sex and the role of a midwife and courtesan. At a broader level, Vatsyayana also paints a vivid picture of the social manners and customs of his time. The book is conceived, with the object of making available to the modern readers, authentic versions of the various classical texts dealing with love and sex in a balanced and beautiful manner.
