Kamasutra is a Hindu treatise on the art of love that includes love tips and numerous sexual positions presented in the form of images. The Kamasutra as a book was not published in Poland until the 1980s, although the text itself was written between the 1st and the 6th year CE. in India by a philosopher named Watsjajana. Check what positions and tips you can find in Kama Sutra.
Kamasutrais a colloquial guide to various sexual positions published in the form of a picture book. It is worth knowing, however, that the content of an Indian treatise is much richer and is not limited only to a dry instruction on how to perform a given position. The Kamasutra is, in fact, a timeless guide to not only the art of love but also social habits.
Kamasutra - what is it?
Kamasutrais a work probably written in the 2nd century AD by the Hindu philosopher Watsjajana, who himself - according to some sources - was said to be a sexual abstainer. The full Sanskrit title of the Kamasutra isvātsyāyana kāma sūtrawhich means "Aphorisms About Love [written by] Watsjajana." The book was addressed to people from the upper strata of Indian society, today we would say - ladies and gentlemen.
In fact, only 20% of the Kama Sutra is devoted to descriptions of sexual positions. Most of the text talks about the philosophy and theory of love, and what arouses desire and how to keep it in a relationship.
The Kamasutra consists of seven books with the following titles:
- Introduction
- About sexual union
- About fidelity
- About my wife
- About other people's wives
- About courtesans
- About ways to increase your attractiveness
Contrary to popular belief, only one of the books (the second) is entirely devoted to sex. The remaining ones concern social etiquette, ways of spending time with friends, behavior towards wives, other people's wives, and behavior towards courtesans. The Kamasutra covers, for example, such issues as:
- how to seduce a woman,
- How to choose the right partner for you,
- how to recognize a woman's interest,
- how to overcome a woman's shyness and introduce her to the sphere of sex;
- how to take care of yourself andwhat cosmetics to use to increase your attractiveness,
- how to recognize that a man is no longer interested in us,
- how to throw a lover,
- how to make a former lover come back to us,
- recipes for potions to improve sexual performance.

Kamasutra online, in the form of videos and albums
The kamasutra that can be found online on the internet usually has little to do with a real treatise from several centuries ago. The books in .pdf format available on the various hosting sites usually contain pictures or images of sexual positions, as well as very general advice for lovers, which are often not even taken from the Kama Sutra. The videos, in turn, are limited to showing the position, thus resembling erotic and pornographic films.
If you want to read the original text of the Kamasutra, it is worth reaching for the book in English or Polish translation. Maria Krzysztof Byrski was the first to translate the Kamasutra from Sanskrit into Polish - the book is en titled: "Kamasutra, or a treatise on love". The book is also available as an audiobook translated by Justyna and Robert Malinowski.

Selected Kama Sutra Sex Positions
Bird in flight
The woman lies down on her back, bends her knees and curls her legs. The man lies down between her legs, her partner hugs him tightly with her thighs. During intercourse, the woman moves her legs like a bird with her wings, which intensifies the sensations.
Lying love
The woman lies down on the edge of the bed so that her legs stay in the air. The man is kneeling at the edge of the bed. The partner can put her legs on her partner's shoulders or rest her feet on his chest. It is a comfortable position for caressing the clitoris.
Lovebirds
The man sits on the edge of the bed, the woman straddles him with her back to his face. A man can kiss a woman's neck, caress her breasts and clitoris.
Spider
A man sits down with straight legs, supporting himself from behind on his hands. The woman straddles it, leans back and also supports her back on her hands. Inin this position, it is the woman who sets the rhythm of the rapprochement and brings herself and her lover to orgasm.
Elephant
The woman lays down on her stomach, spreads her legs, and the man lays down on her and enters from behind. The advantage of this position is the proximity of partners. The woman is completely submissive to her partner. However, the position is not suitable for men with small limbs (the penis enters quite shallow) and for obese people.
