What's the Difference With Gay Kama Sutra?
The Kama Sutra, or the Treatise on Please when translated literally, is a classic guide to lovemaking written by an Indian scholar named Vatsyayana Mallanaga. The name Kama Sutra is derived from the Sanskrit words Kama and Sutra which means desire and a manual or guide respectively.
The Kama Sutra is considered by many as a guide that details several sexual positions; however, most scholars view the text as something of historical importance. The Kama Sutra is a detailed book that includes discussions on living, finding a partner, maintaining marital relationships, and different positions for sexual intercourse.
Several books have been written on the Kama Sutra, some as adaptations while some as derivatives of the original text. Some books include those written for heterosexual relationships, while a handful of books focus more on homosexual relationships. Lesbian kama sutra and gay kama sutra have increased in popularity specially with the publication of several books on the topic.
One notable book on gay kama sutra was written by Colin Spencer and published in 1997. The book entitled The Gay Kama Sutra is an adaptation of the original text and does not contain sections on the orientalisms of the original book. The Gay Kama Sutra is a modern manual and book on advice for gay love.
The book is not spiritual in nature but still denotes a certain positivity about the topic. The book also discusses other issues relating to gay relationships such as AIDs, transvestism, politics, gender, and even homophobia.
Other books written on gay kama sutra are Gay Man's Kama Sutra by Peter Tatchell, Tantra for Gay Men by Bruce Anderson, The Same Sex Kama Sutra by Sandhya Mulchandani, and The Gay Man's Kama Sutra by Terry Sanderson. The latter, The Gay Man's Kama Sutra, is another notable publication on the topic; the book takes from the original Kama Sutra and is created as a guide for gay couples.
The book comes with art work and explores all aspects of gay sex. Other issues such as emotional problems, finding a partner, and safe sex are also discussed.
Several books and articles have been written on gay kama sutra. An online community revolving around the same topic is also growing, promoting gay relationships as well as other same sex relationships and at the same time, providing gay lovers tips and tricks on how to make their relationships more fulfilling and rewarding both emotionally and sexually.
