The easiest Kama Sutra positions to reproduce

Let’s play a game: raise your hand if you’ve never heard of Kamasutra. Let’s imagine that the hands are all lowered, but if we continue, asking if it is associated with a series of sexual positions – even acrobatic – to be assumed in intimacythen in this case many hands would probably go up.

There is some truth in all this: yes, the Kama Sutra has a section dedicated to sexual positions – 64! – to be reproduced to achieve pleasure as a couple, but this goal would not be possible if psychological and mental well-being are not cultivated together first, following the other suggested practices. Let’s find out more closely.

What exactly is the Kama Sutra?

The term “Kama Sutra» comes from an ancient Hindu textbook written in Sanskrit onerotic lovewritten by Vatsyayana Mallanga with the intention of providing guidance for embracing the pleasures of life and meet your daemonwhat makes us happy and full, exploring topics such as the art of living well, the nature of love, the search for a life partner and taking care of one’s emotional life. The sexual concepts that most people associate with the Kama Sutra became known in Western culture in the late 19th century, with theadaptation of the Kama Sutra manual by a British explorer named Richard Francis Burton.

So, the sexual positions suggested in the manual are not the ultimate purpose for which it was written, but one of the suggested ways to experience one’s sexuality more intensely and talk about it openly with your partner. The goal is not to perform the sexual position as if it were a performance or to reach orgasm more quickly, but reset sexual expectations, enjoying the journey that leads to the meeting of two souls, made body.

The main teachings of the Kama Sutra

Leafing through the Kama Sutra and studying it in every part, one understands what it wants teach the art of pleasure in every area, not just the sexual one, which we know is facilitated when the person is in balance with himself and with the surrounding environment. In fact, as reported in a recent article published on ResearchGate («Mental well-being and Kama Sutra: a synergy between hedonic and eudaimonic approaches»), the authors tend to underline how the Kama Sutra has promoted and still promotes today the interplay between the forces of love and sex in reaching one’s full potential, transcendence and search for meaning: Indian philosophers, in an era when the mechanisms of the mind could not yet be understood with the help of science, helped people understand how who practices the 4 precepts of Purushartha (the “goal of life”), that is Dharma (moral duty), Artha (material well-being) e Kama (the desire) enjoys happiness, indicating that the lack of Kama will be an obstacle in the path of achieving both happiness and Mokshatranscendental pleasure of a higher order.

Going into detail about Kama, some of the main teachings of the Kama Sutra they claim that:

• A woman’s pleasure is as important as a man’s.
• Penetration is not essential for a good sex life.
• Pleasure is key and sex is not solely for reproduction.
• Sex is not the only form of intimacy.

The Kama Sutra is inclusive, although most positions are illustrated or involve vaginal penetration by a man. But considered the ultimate goal of seeking one’s sexual and spiritual connection for better shared intimacy, everyone can draw inspiration. So here they are easier positions to reproduceto be adapted according to your wishes.

Do you know the cowgirl position? Here you are. In this position, the male partner lies on her back and she sits on top of him, with his bottom turned towards her face. Then, she proceeds with penetration, gently rocking her hips.

Practical and quick position, to be performed standing: the partners are facing each other. The male partner places his hand under one of his partner’s knees and raises her leg until he is able to rest his member on her pelvis for penetration. This allows for deep penetration, and also adds a thrill to the encounter.

Take a chair, without armrests if possible: the male partner sits down, then she positions herself above him, on her back, allowing rhythmic and deep penetration.

This position is named after Indrani, the wife of god Indra. Here, the woman lies on her back, with her knees bent to her chest, while the male partner places her legs on the outside of hers, enveloping her for penetration.

Imagine a flower opening its petals for this position: the male partner kneels on the bed, and lifts his partner’s hips, bringing her closer to his pelvis while her head remains resting on the surface. Her legs part around his hips or tighten around her pelvis.

In this position she is lying on the bed, and lifting one of her legs, she places it on the male partner’s shoulder. The other leg remains on the bed, allowing a better opening of the pelvis, therefore better penetration.

This is a very intimate position: while she is sitting on a solid surface (for example, a table), she leans back slightly. At this point, he draws her to him, lifting her pelvis and she can wrap her legs around his waist, starting his penetration of her.

In this position, the receiving partner lies on his back with knees bent and hips raised, while the penetrator enters from a kneeling position between the recipient’s legs.

One of the most classic positions: the one who penetrates must sit with his legs crossed, while the one who receives sits with his legs open, bringing the vulva closer to the penis or penis. dildo and wrapping your legs around the other’s back.

To assume this position, you need to be standing facing each other: during penetration, the receiving partner crosses his legs to squeeze the penis even more. It is a position suitable for those who have a smaller than average penisbecause it allows you to feel the presence of the member in the vagina more.
