How to Experiment With Kama Sutra Sexual Positions

The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text that was written to guide men on how to have a happy marriage. The Kama Sutra has seven sections, but only the second—"On Sexual Union"—is of any interest today. "On Sexual Union" is illustrated with numerous drawings to show couples many different ways to make love to one another. All of the positions are yoga “asanas” (poses). While most of the asanas have unusual names, all are created for the pleasure of both man and woman.
