Oldest Indian sex manual
"Bulls Among Cows" from the Kuma Sutra
The oldest and best known Indian sex manual is the "Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana",
written about 1500 years ago.
It has been pointed out that this comprehensive volume summarised many earlier writings on
sexual topics dating
back as much as three thousand years. The first English edition of the "Kama
Sutra" was privately printed in
1883; the Indian "Ananga-Ranga" (or "The Stage of Love", also
known as "Kamaled-hiplava" or "A Boat in the
Ocean of Love") was translated into English ten years before the "Kama
Sutra". This latter, more important
work, is the first full manual from India devoted exclusively to the subject of human sexuality
and in particular
to the relationships between the sexes.
