I tried following Kama Sutra for a week, here’s how it went

Full disclosure: I am a 32-year-old married woman, living with my husband in an apartment in Andheri East. We are married for only two months now but know each other for over seven years. We are truly open to each other and love adventure. So, this gave me an idea of undertaking a Kama Sutra adventure in my bedroom for a period of 7 days. It’s time we tested the wisdom of the ancient Vātsyāyana (those who don’t know, the author of Kama Sutra) and that's how I did it.

The adventure: Well, including me who remains quite aware about all the bizarre cults and latest trends about sex, many don’t know that Kama Sutra is only 20 per cent sex positions. Rest 80 per cent can be called a love manual. I decided that for 7 days of the week, I will pick one-a-day interesting aspect of the book and try it with my husband. So, here’s how it went. (I would spare you much detailing as it’s private and would delve on what I picked and how that has impacted our relationship).

I absolutely loved the way this adventure went for us! Of course, Kama Sutra is not something that you can follow every day in a busy, running life but is sure a very good reference book when you need an excitement in your bed or a way to de-stress.

Much contrary to the popular belief that Kama Sutra is just about various sex positions, I discovered that it is way more than just that! It is about all the dynamics of love. We both actually felt it when I would hug him through the 8 Kama Sutra ways or we just stare at each other, synchronizing our breaths. It isn’t merely about the ways to go for a P-into-a-V session but redefining your relationship. Also, as per the book, a healthy sex life reflects on a balanced and stress-free life. It indeed does because only in a week’s time, I witnessed a positive change in our relationship.
