The Kama Sutra Size Chart

According to the Kama Sutra, men can be classified on the basis of the size of their penis, or lingamas it is called in Sanskrit. A person with a small penis is described as a hare-man, one with an average-sized penis is described as a bull-man, and one with an abnormally large penis is described as a horse-man. Similarly, females can be classified according to the size of their yoni, or vagina. A woman with an unusually small yoni is called a deer, one with an average-sized yoniis a mare and one with an unusually large yoni is an elephant. The Kama Sutra identifies nine types of sexual union, based on each of the three lingam types copulating with each of the three yoni types.

Adoration of the Anus

In Tantric Sex, anal intercourse is known as adhorata. This Sanskrit word has no direct linguistic connection to the English word “adoration”, although the meaning is much the same. To a skilled Tantric practitioner anal sex is a form of worship, in which the object of worship – or adoration – is the underlying reality of the cosmos, which in its eternally receptive nature is symbolized by the human anus.

The Mystic Syllable Om

The Sanskrit syllableॐ – transcribed in English as Om – represents a sound that has mystical significance in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. It features in numerous Sanskrit mantras, and is the opening word of many sacred texts. Om symbolizes the beginning, duration, and dissolution of the Universe and its associated Gods.

In the Tantric tradition, the syllable Om is chanted rhythmically by both partners during sexual intercourse. In some cases an extended form of mantra such as Om Mani Padme Hum is used instead. The visual depiction of Om – the Sanskrit character ॐ – us also important in Tantric sex. The female sex practitioner or Dakini in the photograph has the symbol tattooed on her shoulder. She is shown performing the devotional Tantric ritual of Auparishtaka, better known in the west as a blowjob.

Chakra Meditation

The Chakra system, comprising the seven major energy centres of the human body, is one of the central concepts of New Age philosophy, holistic wellbeing and alternative therapy. The term Chakra is derived from Sanskrit, and originated in the Hindu tradition of India. The Chakra concept also features prominently in Tantra, where sexually charged Kundalini energy is seen as flowing upwards through the system of chakras. It is possible to achieve an ecstatic state of orgasmic bliss by visualizing Kundalini slowly rising up through the seven chakras like an enormous, swelling penis made of pure energy.

Circle Sex Ritual

The Sanskrit term Chakra Puja refers to a sex ritual undertaken by a group of participants. The word Chakra literally means “wheel”, and the ritual takes the form of a circle in which sexual energy is transmitted from one participant to the next.

The picture above shows a group of men engaged in a circular sex ritual. This particular ritual is known as Trenecito.
