When a woman reproaches a man, but at the same time acts affectionately towards him, she should be made love to in every way. A woman, who meets a man in lonely places, and puts up with the touch of his foot, but pretends, on account of indecision of her mind, not to be aware of it, should be conquered by patience and by continued efforts.

— 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.
