KAMA SUTRA : PART2-CHAPTER -1 Kinds of sexual union according to dimensions,


Kind of Union
Man is divided into three classes, viz. the hare man, the bull man, and the
horse man, according to the size of his lingam.
Woman also, according to the depth of her yoni, is either a female deer, a
mare, or a female elephant 

This part of the Kama Shastra, which treats of sexual union, is also called `Sixtyfour'
(Chatushshashti). Some old authors say that it is called so, because it
contains sixty-four chapters. Others are of opinion that the author of this part



being a person named Panchala, and the person who recited the part of the Rig
Veda called Dashatapa, which contains sixty-four verses, being also called
Panchala, the name `sixty-four' has been given to the part of the work in honour
of the Rig Vedas. The followers of Babhravya say on the other hand that this part
contains eight subjects, viz. the embrace, kissing, scratching with the nails or
fingers, biting, lying down, making various sounds, playing the part of a man,
and the Auparishtaka, or mouth congress. Each of these subjects being of eight
kinds, and eight multiplied by eight being sixty-four, this part is therefore named





`sixty-four'. But Vatsyayana affirms that as this part contains also the following
subjects, viz. striking, crying, the acts of a man during congress, the various
kinds of congress, and other subjects, the name `sixty-four' is given to it only
accidentally. As, for instance, we say this tree is `Saptaparna', or seven-leaved,
this offering of rice is `Panchavarna', or five-coloured, but the tree has not seven
leaves, neither has the rice five colours.
However the part sixty-four is now treated of, and the embrace, being the first
subject, will now be considered.
Now the embrace which indicates the mutual love of a man and woman who
have come together is of four kinds:
l Touching
l Rubbing
l Piercing
l Pressing
The action in each case is denoted by the meaning of the word which stands for
it.
When a man under some pretext or other goes in front or alongside of a woman
and touches her body with his own, it is called the `touching embrace'.
