Kama Sutra Sex Aids / Sexual Toys / Dildos
If a man is unable to satisfy a Hastini, or Elephant woman, he should have recourse to various means to excite her passion. At the commencement he should rub her yoni (vagina) with his hand or fingers, and not begin to have intercourse with her until she becomes excited, or experiences pleasure. This is one way of exciting a woman.
Or, he may make use of certain Apadravyas, or things which are put on or around the lingam (penis) to supplement its length or its thickness, so as to fit it to the yoni. In the opinion of Babhravya, these Apadravyas should be made of gold, silver, copper, iron, ivory, buffalo’s horn, various kinds of wood, tin or lead, and should be soft, cool, provocative of sexual vigour, and well fitted to serve the intended purpose. Vatsyayana, however, says that they may be made according to the natural liking of each individual.
The following are the different kinds of Apadravyas (Sex Toys / Sexual Aids / Dildos):
‘The armlet’(Valaya) should be of the same size as the lingam, and should have its outer surface made rough with globules.
‘The couple’ (Sanghati)is formed of two armlets.
‘The bracelet’ (Chudaka) is made by joining three or more armlets, until they come up to the required length of the lingam.
‘The single bracelet’ is formed by wrapping a single wire around the lingam, according to its dimensions.
The Kantuka or Jalaka is a tube open at both ends, with a hole through it, outwardly rough and studded with soft globules, and made to fit the side of the yoni, and tied to the waist.
When such a thing cannot be obtained, then a tube made of the wood apple, or tubular stalk of the bottle gourd, or a reed made soft with oil and extracts of plants, and tied to the waist with strings, may be made use of, as also a row of soft pieces of wood tied together.
The above are the things that can be used in connection with or in the place of the lingam.
The people of the southern countries think that true sexual pleasure cannot be obtained without perforating the lingam, and they therefore cause it to be pierced like the lobes of the ears of an infant pierced for earrings.
Now, when a young man perforates his lingam he should pierce it with a sharp instrument, and then stand in water so long as the blood continues to flow. At night, he should engage in sexual intercourse, even with vigour, so as to clean the hole. After this he should continue to wash the hole with decoctions, and increase the size by putting into it small pieces of cane, and the wrightia antidysenterica, and thus gradually enlarging the orifice. It may also be washed with liquorice mixed with honey, and the size of the hole increased by the fruit stalks of the simapatra plant. The hole should also be anointed with a small quantity of oil.
In the hole made in the lingam a man may put Apadravyas of various forms, such as the ’round’, the ’round on one side’, the ‘wooden mortar’, the ‘flower’, the ‘armlet’, the ‘bone of the heron’, the ‘goad of the elephant’, the ‘collection of eight balls’, the ‘lock of hair’, the ‘place where four roads meet’, and other things named according to their forms and means of using them. All these Apadravyas should be rough on the outside according to their requirements.

Kama is the enjoyment of appropriate objects by the five senses of hearing, feeling, seeing, tasting and smelling, assisted by the mind together with the soul.

Such passionate actions and amorous gesticulations or movements, which arise on the spur of the moment, and during sexual intercourse, cannot be defined, and are as irregular as dreams.A horse having once attained the fifth degree of motion goes on with blind speed, regardless of pits, ditches, and posts in his way; and in the same manner a loving pair become blind with passion in the heat of congress, and go on with great impetuosity, paying not the least regard to excess.
For this reason one who is well acquainted with the science of love (Kamasutra), and knowing his own strength, as also the tenderness, impetuosity, and strength of the young women, should act accordingly. The various modes of enjoyment are not for all times or for all persons, but they should only be used at the proper time. and in the proper countries and places.
An ingenious person should multiply the kinds of congress after the fashion of the different kinds of beasts and of birds. For these different kinds of congress, performed according to the usage of each country, and the liking of each individual, generate love, friendship, and respect in the hearts of women.
Those things which increase passion should be done first, and those which are only for amusement or variety should be done afterwards. 



When the woman places one of her thighs across the thigh of her lover it is called the ‘twining position’.
When a woman forcibly holds in her yoni the lingam after it is in, it is called the ‘mare’s position’. This is learnt by practice only, and is chiefly found among the women of the Andhra country.

When only one of her legs is stretched out, it is called the ‘half pressed position’.
When one of her legs is placed on the head, and the other is stretched out, it is called the ‘fixing of a nail’. This is learnt by practice only.










When the yoni is pressed by the lingam for a long time, it is called ‘pressing’.
When both sides of the yoni are rubbed in this way, it is called the ‘blow of a bull’.
When she places her thighs with her legs doubled on them upon her sides, and thus engages in congress, it is called the ‘position of Indrani’ and this is learnt only by practice. The position is also useful in the case of the ‘highest congress’.
When, after congress has begun in the clasping position, the woman presses her lover with her thighs, it is called the ‘pressing position’.
When the female raises both of her thighs straight up, it is called the ‘rising position’.
When she raises both of her legs, and places them on her lover’s shoulders, it is called the ‘yawning position’.
When the legs are contracted, and thus held by the lover before his bosom, it is called the ‘pressed position’.
When the woman places one of her legs on her lover’s shoulder, and stretches the other out, and then places the latter on his shoulder, and stretches out the other, and continues to do so alternately, it is called the ‘splitting of a bamboo’.
When both the legs of the woman are contracted, and placed on her stomach, it is called ‘crab’s position’.
When the thighs are raised and placed one upon the other, it is called the ‘packed position’.
When the shanks are placed one upon the other, it is called the ‘lotus-like position’.
Thus, says Suvarnanabha, these different ways of lying down, sitting, and standing should be practised in water, because it is easy to do so therein. But Vatsyayana is of opinion that congress in water is improper, because it is prohibited by the religious law.
When a man and a woman support themselves on each other’s bodies, or on a wall, or pillar, and thus while standing engage in congress, it is called the ‘supported congress’.
When a man supports himself against a wall, and the woman, sitting on his hands joined together and held underneath her, throws her arms round his neck, and putting her thighs alongside his waist, moves herself by her feet, which are touching the wall against which the man is leaning, it is called the ‘suspended congress’.
When a woman stands on her hands and feet like a quadruped, and her lover mounts her like a bull, it is called the ‘congress of a cow’. At this time everything that is ordinarily done on the bosom should be done on the back.
The same things can be done when several men are sitting in company with one courtesan, or when one courtesan is alone with many men. In the same way this can be done by the women of the king’s harem when they accidentally get hold of a man.
Auparishtaka or mouth congress.
