Modern interpretation of the Kama Sutra

KS-Photo-MoT.jpg
 
Is it at all difficult to apply such an ancient art to modern day living?

 

Most readers will find the original Burton translation of the Kama Sutra of limited value. Those translations that try to preserve the exact language of the original will be quite a boring read. But some of the modern translations, for example our

Can the Kama Sutra help people with intimacy problems in their marriage?
 
The primary forms of intimacy in relationship are sexual and non-sexual forms of communication. The Kama Sutra gives detailed instructions on how to communicate, before, during and after lovemaking, and of course it also presents detailed instructions on virtually all sexual techniques, with the exception that there is very little in the Kama Sutra about oral sex (fellatio, and cunnilingus).

In what ways may the Kama Sutra bring balance in one's spirituality?

 

In what ways may the Kama Sutra bring balance in one’s spirituality?

 

The Kama Sutra is not primarily a spiritual text and not a spiritual practice, so any contribution to balancing one’s spirituality would be incidental rather than deliberate. However, the Kama Sutra does emphasize the 4 great aims of life. Dharma (moral character), Artha (earning a living, having a profession), and Kama (the art of love), and Moksha (spiritual liberation). Vatsyayana certainly stressed many times in the Kama Sutra that a balance of all 4 aims of life was necessary in order to live a fulfilled life, ultimately leading to liberation from the wheel of births and deaths.

In what ways can the Kama Sutra improve serious relationships?

 

 For most couples, if they can get the sex right, the rest of their relationship problems can be worked out much more easily. This is because to get the sex right requires that they do their inner spiritual work to become fit for relationship, which simply means that they learn how to give and receive love. One of the primary ways lovers give and receive love is with sexual lovemaking. The Kama Sutra emphasizes the
