Kamasutra: Sex Positions

There are several descriptions of the sex positions, methods of laying down, and intercourse. These have been described in details by different positions and the intercourse and play of the sex in the Sanskrit has been translated as 'congress' in the translation of the original book.

There are description of different ways of laying down by women.

On the occasion of a ‘high congress’ the Mrigi (Deer) woman should lie down in such a way as to widen her yoni, while in a ‘low congress’ the Hastini (Elephant) woman should lie down so as to contract hers. But in an ‘equal congress’ they should lie down in the natural position. What is said above concerning the Mrigi and the Hastini applies also to the Vadawa (Mare) woman. In a ‘low congress the woman should particularly make use of medicine, to cause her desires to be satisfied quickly. Several of these positions shown on the photos and paintings are from Kamasutra but many of them are from other countries and from painting from different time period from all over the world. To make it interesting these images have been put together from various parts of the world.
