A User's Guide to the Kama Sutra

A 2,000-year-old text can teach you how to have better sex. Explore adventurous sexual positions for a fuller sex life and more intimacy with your partner.

If you want to turn up the heat on your sex life, give the missionary position the night off and experiment with new sexual positions from the Kama Sutra, the ageless text considered the bible of better sex for lovers all over the world.


The Kama Sutra, or the “Rules of Love,” is a 2,000-year-old book written by an Indian Hindu scholar. “This ancient Eastern approach to love has proven itself a timeless love manual and a guide to relationships on how to create harmony, pleasuring, and happiness between the sexes,” says Yvonne K. Fulbright, PhD, MSEd, a nationally known sex therapist and author of several books on sexuality, including Sultry Sex Talk to Seduce any Lover.

Although the Kama Sutra is famous for its description of dozens of sexual positions for better sex, Fulbright says the book goes much deeper than that. “Its universal, timeless message is its presentation of sex as sacred, a gift from God (or a higher power), essential to life and worthy of study,” she says.

The Kama Sutra was written in Sanskrit, the ancient literary language of India, and was translated into English in 1883. In the Victorian era, it was seen as erotica and secretly circulated among wealthy Europeans and Americans. One of the latest translations, The Complete Kama Sutra: The First Unabridged Modern Translation of the Classic Indian Text by Alain Danielou was released in the 1990s and is available online or in bookstores.
 
 Kama Sutra Sexual Positions for Better Sex
You may think you need to be double-jointed or a contortionist to attempt any of the sexual positions from the Kama Sutra, but that’s not necessary. Some are more difficult than others and may require some practice. Fulbright describes some popular Kama Sutra positions and why you should give them a try:

• Piditaka (Full-pressed): “The woman should get onto her back and pull her knees into her chest, resting her feet on the man’s chest as he kneels in front of her. Putting a cushion under her lower back will elevate her, providing more stimulation,” Fulbright says. “With his knees on either side of her hips, she fits snugly into his lap as he kneels before her and raises her hips onto his thighs. As he enters her, he’ll notice a tighter fit since her vagina is narrowed during this position.” 
• Sthitarata (Suspended union): This is a standing sexual position and you will both need some strength. “Supporting himself against a wall, the man lifts his lover onto his penis by locking his hands beneath her buttocks. Once in position, she grips him with her thigh muscles, legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his waist,” Fulbright says. She adds that it can be done more easily with his pelvis pushed out, forming a ledge for her to sit atop. She can rock against him, bracing herself better by putting her feet against a wall. Fulbright adds that this sexual position is great for short lovemaking sessions, but can be difficult to maintain for a long time.
• Jrimbhitaka (Yawning posture): “While on her back, the woman spreads her legs wide into a V-shape. With his knees on either side of her hips, he kneels, grabbing her hands to support some of his weight as he thrusts. She also gets the titillation of being pinned down,” says Fulbright.
• Dhenuka II (Cow-like): This sexual position is most easily attempted from the classic rear position, says Fulbright: “The woman lies on her stomach, legs straight and slightly spread. (Placing a pillow under her pelvis before she moves onto her belly will prevent him from slipping out.) He then stretches himself over her figure, placing his legs outside of hers and pressing his pelvis up against her buttocks. Once he has penetrated her, she can squeeze her legs around his penis, while he angles himself to thrust with an arch in his back. With her position limited, they can rock back and forth.”
• Shulachitak (Fixing a nail): You may have to work on your flexibility for this sexual position. Fulbright describes it this way: “Once she is lying on her back, her lover takes one leg up and moves her into a split, stretching her leg up vertically. As he kneels around her pelvis, he rests her foot against his forehead and begins to penetrate. She then alternates legs, placing her foot against his forehead and placing the first leg flat, and then repeating. This changes the angle of each thrust, with her lover’s chest against the back of her thigh moving her up and down."

Top 10 Healthiest Fruits us..

Strawberries

In addition to being consumed fresh, strawberries can be frozen, made into preserves, as well as dried and used in such things as cereal bars. Strawberries are a popular addition to dairy products, as in strawberry-flavored ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, and yogurts. Strawberries and Cream is a popular dessert, famously consumed at Wimbledon. Strawberry pie is also popular.

Strawberry pigment extract can be used as a natural acid/base indicator due to the different color of the conjugate acid and conjugate base of the pigment.

Apples

Research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Compared to many other fruits and vegetables, apples contain relatively low amounts of vitamin C, but are a rich source of other antioxidant compounds. The fiber content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer.

They may also help with heart disease, weight loss, and controlling cholesterol. The fiber contained in apples reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption, and (like most fruits and vegetables) they are bulky for their caloric content.

There is evidence that in vitro apples possess phenolic compounds which may be cancer-protective and demonstrate antioxidant activity. The predominant phenolic phytochemicals in apples are quercetin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B2.

Apple juice concentrate has been found to increase the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in mice, providing a potential mechanism for the "prevention of the decline in cognitive performance that accompanies dietary and genetic deficiencies and aging." Other studies have shown an "alleviat[ion of] oxidative damage and cognitive decline" in mice after the administration of apple juice.

Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong discovered that fruit flies who were fed an apple extract lived 10 percent longer than other flies who were fed a normal diet.

However, apple seeds are mildly poisonous, containing a small amount of amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside; it usually is not enough to be dangerous to humans, but can deter birds.

Bananas

Bananas contain moderate amounts of vitamin B6, vitamin C, manganese and potassium.

Along with other fruits and vegetables, consumption of bananas may be associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer and in women, breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma.

Banana ingestion may affect dopamine production in people deficient in the amino acid tyrosine, a dopamine precursor present in bananas.

In India, juice is extracted from the corm and used as a home remedy for jaundice, sometimes with the addition of honey, and for kidney stones.
Individuals with a latex allergy may experience a reaction to bananas

Blackberries

Blackberries contain numerous large seeds that are not always preferred by consumers. The seeds contain some oil which is rich in omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and -6 fats (linoleic acid), as well as some protein, dietary fiber, carotenoids, ellagitannins and ellagic acid.

Cherries

Cherries contain anthocyanins, the red pigment in berries. Cherry anthocyanins have been shown to reduce pain and inflammation in rats. Anthocyanins are also potent antioxidants under active research for a variety of potential health benefits. According to a study funded by the Cherry Marketing Institute presented at the Experimental Biology 2008 meeting in San Diego, rats that received whole tart cherry powder mixed into a high-fat diet did not gain as much weight or build up as much body fat, and their blood showed much lower levels of inflammation indicators that have been linked to heart disease and diabetes. In addition, they had significantly lower blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides than the other rats.

Blueberries

Especially in wild species, blueberries contain anthocyanins, other antioxidant pigments and various phytochemicals possibly having a role in reducing risks of some diseases, including inflammation and certain cancers.

Mangoes

 A single mango has enough beta-carotene to cover your RDA for vitamin A while racking up 57 mg of vitamin C.

Oranges

One orange provides an impressive 50 mg to 70 mg of vitamin C, 40 mcg of folic acid and 52 mg of calcium.

Purple grapes

Offer three heart-guarding compounds: flavonoids, anthocyanins and resveratrol (green grapes are not rich in them)

Raspberries

Raspberries contain significant amounts of polyphenol antioxidants such as anthocyanin pigments linked to potential health protection against several human diseases.

Teeming with 8 g of fiber per cup, they also boast vitamin C, ellagic acid and anthocyanins.
