This post I was inspired to write after reading one of Karen Cherry Threadgills rules for a happy life ( rules 49-60)
Quote: Get the Kama Sutra , it was written over 2000 years ago, and it is about a lot more than just sexual positions.
The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian treatise dedicated to sensual and emotional life, lust, and love. In its seven books, it explains the principles of Dharma, Artha, and Kama. Dharma refers to one s duties and how to fulfill them. Artha represents the acquisition of wealth. Kama describes the five senses and the way they help us know and experience the world. The Kama Sutra s goal is to walk the reader through the adventure of learning bodily pleasures and finding love.
It teaches that both men and women should study Kama. Along with that, the Kama Sutra suggests a list of arts and sciences that are beneficial to females, and it includes intellectual pastimes, exercises, magic, and knowledge of aphrodisiacs.
In addition, the Kama Sutra gives recommendations for men on where to reside, how to perform their duties, and how to maintain personal hygiene, as well as specifies a man s responsibilities as a head of the household.
