| Kama Sutra | comment |
A couple of thousand years or so ago, a man called Vatsyayana Mullanaga got it into his head to compile a book of all the sex tips he could find in his homeland of India. This tome was called the Kama Sutra (lit: Pleasure Sayings) and even today it is a byword for sexuality around the world. Yet, like so many classic literary works, it's one of those famous works that a lot of people have heard of, but few have bothered to read (in full).Pop-Cultural Osmosis has reduced it to supposedly being nothing but a pornographic book with a lot of naughty pictures. In reality there is an entire philosophy behind the sexual acts described in the book. Another Urban Legend claims it is a religious work, which isn't true either.There are a couple of other Eastern sexual wisdom texts, the Ananga Ranga and The Perfumed Garden, but these are referenced far less often.There is also a film, released in 1996, starring Indira Varma and Naveen Andrews. So something for everyone there. Not to mention numerous 'ahem!' educational DVDs.Trope Namer for Comic Sutra, which is actually apt. Every single concept described in the Kama Sutra is given a name — even when it doesn't really warrant one and merely describing the concept would probably suffice. The names are fairly reasonable and tame, however. | |

Anatomically Impossible Sex: This is usually the stereotype associated with the book, by people who never read it. | |

Bigger Is Better in Bed | |
| Kama Sutra / int_61c7d589 | comment |
Bigger Is Better in Bed: Downplayed Trope. Men are divided up into 3 categories by penis size: "hare", "bull", or "stallion". However, the same is done for women: "doe", "mare", or "elephant". The question then is not about the absolute size of a man, but his relative size compared to his partner. Equal-size unions are considered the best, and 2 degrees of size difference are considered the worst. 1 degree of size difference is considered middling, and in such cases, then it says the man being slightly larger (termed "high-union") is preferable to the woman being slightly larger (termed "low-union"). That said, there are tips later on about sex positions that can help accommodate all sorts of size differences. | |

| Kama Sutra / int_c86b7046 | comment |
It's Not Porn, It's Art: The book is a bit more enlightened than just being a collection of "bawdy" pictures. It doesn't just describe sexual positions, but also provides advice about romantic and erotic affairs and help and tips about masturbation, marriage, prostitution, harems, bathing, oils, perfumes, massage, decoration of the house in preparation of being together with your lover, sex problems,... | |

Foreign Fanservice: A large part of the appeal of the book among people outside India is that it provides exotic eroticism from the mysterious Orient (see: Orientalism). | |
