Of The Means of Exciting Desire, and of the Ways of Enlarging the Lingam. Miscellaneous Experiments and Receipts The first English translation of the Kama Sutra was privately printed in 1883 by the Orientalist Sir Richard Francis Burton. He did not translate it, but did edit it to suit the Victorian British attitudes. The unedited translation was produced by the Indian scholar Bhagwan Lal Indraji with the assistance of a student Shivaram Parshuram Bhide, under the guidance of Burton's friend, the Indian civil servant Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot. [99] According to Doniger, the Burton version is a "flawed English translation" but influential as modern translators and abridged versions of Kamasutra even in the Indian languages such as Hindi are re-translations of the Burton version, rather than the original Sanskrit manuscript.

The Kamasutra includes verses describing homosexual relations such as oral sex between two men, as well as between two women. [86] [87] Lesbian relations are extensively covered in Chapters 5 and 8 in Book 2 of the text. [88] Wendy Doniger (2016). Redeeming the Kamasutra. Oxford University Press. pp.155–157.

The text states that there are two sorts of "third nature", one where a man behaves like a woman, and in the other, a woman behaves like a man. In one of the longest consecutive sets of verses describing a sexual act, the Kamasutra describes fellatio technique between a man dressed like a woman performing fellatio on another man. [89] The text also mentions same-sex behavior between two women, such as a girl losing her virginity with a girlfriend as they use their fingers, [90] as well as oral sex and the use of sex toys between women. [91] Svairini, a term Danielou translates as a lesbian, [92] is described in the text as a woman who lives a conjugal life with another woman or by herself fending for herself, not interested in a husband. [93] Additionally, the text has some fleeting remarks on bisexual relationships. [90] Chapter X. How to Begin and How to End the Congress. Different Kinds of Congress, and Love QuarrelsAccording to Doniger, the Kamasutra teaches adulterous sexual liaison as a means for a man to predispose the involved woman in assisting him, as a strategic means to work against his enemies and to facilitate his successes. It also explains the signs and reasons a woman wants to enter into an adulterous relationship and when she does not want to commit adultery. [84] The Kamasutra teaches strategies to engage in adulterous relationships, but concludes its chapter on sexual liaison stating that one should not commit adultery because adultery pleases only one of two sides in a marriage, hurts the other, it goes against both dharma and artha.

In the colonial era marked by sexual censorship, the Kamasutra became famous as a pirated and underground text for its explicit description of sex positions. The stereotypical image of the text is one where erotic pursuit with sexual intercourse include improbable contortionist forms. [71] In reality, according to Doniger, the real Kamasutra is much more and is a book about "the art of living", about understanding one's body and a partner's body, finding a partner and emotional connection, marriage, the power equation over time in intimate relationships, the nature of adultery and drugs (aphrodisiacs [72]) along with many simple to complex variations in sex positions to explore. It is also a psychological treatise that presents the effect of desire and pleasure on human behavior. [71] Macy, Joanna (1975). "The Dialectics of Desire". Numen.
