A man should gather from the actions of the woman of what disposition she is, and in what way she likes to be enjoyed. A man during her monthly courses, a woman who has been lately confined, and fat woman should not be made to act the part of man.

More quotes by Vātsyāyana

A man practicing Dharma, Artha and Kama enjoys happiness both in this world and in the world to come.

Kama is also learnt from the Kama Sutra (aphorisms on [[love) and from the practice of citizens.

In short, nothing tends to increase love so much as the effects of marking with the nails, and biting.

Though a man loves a girl ever so much, he never succeeds in winning her without a great deal of talking.

Anything may take place at any time, for love does not care for time or order.
