Kama Sutra

The Kama Sutra (or: 'kamasutram') is generally known to the Western world as an ancient Indian text on human sexual behavior, widely considered to be the standard work on love in Sanskrit literature. The Kama Sutra contains a total of 64 sexual positions and depicts positions as arts. The text was composed by Vatsyayana. Kama is literally desire; Sutra signfies a thread, or discourse threaded on a series of aphorisms.
