The Greatest Sutra of Them All

Kama Sutra: On Homosexuality

We’ve mentioned the Kama Sutra before, of course. The ancient text discusses every aspect of love relations, with only about a fifth of the book actually devoted to sexual acts. Even so, these days it’s commonly regarded as little more than a how-to manual, a sort of incredibly old-school Joy of Sex (though, let’s be honest, Joy of Sex is pretty old school itself these days). Wikipedia can give you some real info about the Kamasutram if you want to become informed in a well-rounded way, but we’ll focus on a few highly specific versions and interpretations of the work. For instance:

The Kama Sutra . . . with Girls, as conceived of by those brilliant softcore porngeneers at the venerable lingerie-filled lad-rag FHM. They did it as a Valentine’s day special, revealing one position each day in the month of February, with techniques demonstrated by very hot girls in very little clothing. Somehow we doubt the ancient Indians called that position “Reverse Seated Cowgirl,” but hey, this is a modern interpretation. Don’t miss the “Classic 69.”

But what about the guys? The Kama Sutra has plenty to say when it comes to boy-on-boy relations, too (though all the talk of eunuchs might throw you at first). Here’s a nice bunch of illustrations depicting the art of love between two men. And sometimes three men. And with the tangential involvement of the occasional passing peacock.

But why restrict ourselves to human sexuality? Consider The Scout Walker Kama Sutra, an admirably straight-faced site that explores (in tremendous depth) the sex lives of the bipedal war machines from Star Wars. (Insert requisite joke about whether or not the site creators have, in fact, ever had sex themselves — but just because it’s too easy to resist. In truth, we rather admire their vision.) The section on Scout Walker oral sex must be seen.

For those who want to apply a more personal touch, try the Interactive Kama Sutra flash application, which allows you to place figures in various compromising positions. It’s rather addictive, not to mention inspiring.

Here’s an old one — but a good one — that doesn’t have much to do with the Kama Sutra beyond the name, but we’re casting a wide net here, so. Observe the Girl on Girl Kama Sutra 2004, an online flash game where the goal is . . . um . . . sorry, distracted by cartoon thongs.
