We must learn to appreciate society's role on the act of kama. It is coursing to its full details possible on the earth and it is spreading. All people in the world share one thing equally and that is their kama behavior.

I agree it is important to understand the role of sex in our society. This is universally shared act, as nearly all people engage in sexual activity at some point in their life.

[nehalennia]

With sex being something that nearly all humans have in common, it should be a great starting point for tearing down barriers. Nearly all societies place an importance on the act of procreation to further their culture. Since nearly all people engage in some type of sexual activity in their lifetime, it only stands to reason that if we all talked about it, perhaps it could create a common ground to solve differences.

I don't think we should have sex on the streets, highways, and byways of the world but I do think that we should recognize its place in our society and discard this taboo nature it currently has. Everyone does it, we all share in it and I think we should be able to have candide easy conversations about the parts of our sex lives we want to share and be able to ask friends for help if we need it. Also the consultation of books is helpful and a general openness is so much better than this closed secretiveness. This also extends to our children, if we keep the dialogue open and moving then our teenagers will know what sex is so they know to make good life choices.

The Kama Sutra is mostly notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra (Sanskrit: Kāma Śhāstra).[2] Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva's doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.[3]

Historian John Keay says that the Kama Sutra is a compendium that was collected into its present form in the second century CE.[4]

Regarding how the composition became known to the Western world, Burton's translation says the following in its introduction:

It may be interesting to some persons to learn how it came about that Vatsyayana was first brought to light and translated into the English language. It happened thus. While translating with the pundits the `Anunga Runga, or the stage of love', reference was frequently found to be made to one Vatsya. The sage Vatsya was of this opinion, or of that opinion. The sage Vatsya said this, and so on. Naturally questions were asked who the sage was, and the pundits replied that Vatsya was the author of the standard work on love in Sanskrit literature, that no Sanscrit library was complete without his work, and that it was most difficult now to obtain in its entire state. The copy of the manuscript obtained in Bombay was defective, and so the pundits wrote to Benares, Calcutta and Jaipur for copies of the manuscript from Sanskrit libraries in those places. Copies having been obtained, they were then compared with each other, and with the aid of a Commentary called `Jayamangla' a revised copy of the entire manuscript was prepared, and from this copy the English translation was made. The following is the certificate of the chief pundit:
