Sthraina Kamasutram - K.R. Indira






Vatsyayana writes Kamasutra around 4th century to guide n educate men about carnal pleasures. K.R. Indira writes Sthraina Kamasutram  in 21st century....... why?

The book is a successful critical study of Vatsyayana's Kamasutra. The first two chapters are dedicated entirely for that purpose. Heavily impressive. So KS is outdated and the postures are inhuman and if practiced the woman concerned may end up in traction. Hmm...point taken. Hey, the author seems to agree with Vatsyayana at one point though. ''Size matters''. O.K. Some relief. Then comes the ridiculous survey conducted among women about love n sex life , satisfaction quotient etc and the author arrives at the conclusion that the womenfolk are not yet liberated nor improvised or skillful in the above concerned field. Really !? Amused. Next is the most awaited part of the book - Kamasutra for women. Drat ! Dang ! Darnit ! Yet another rebuke about KS and a sermon on self protection. Good Grief ! Apart from highlighting the faults of KS this book has nothing new to offer ! Not even a single tantra or mantra or sutra. Forget about seduction tips. 281 pictures without tags ! Why bother? Disappointed beyond repair.

How can you effect sexual liberation n equality by reading n rewriting  a book - written centuries ago exclusively for men - in a woman's perspective ? What's your take on proper sex education n guidelines from school level onwards?
