Talking about Sex is not ‘ Gandi Baat’- We are the land of Kamasutra

The story of Divine Couple Rati and Kaamadev reveals Love and Sex are important 


Sex is such an overrated word in our country. This one word has a lot of stigmas attached to it. We often don’t talk about it and if someone talks about it often, then that person is considered ‘unsanskari’. The land of kamasutra, India, has now become so conservative that sex talks are considered Gandi Baat. But do you know our country was once known for our openness towards love and sex?

Word sex was never used in bad metaphor but it was something to be celebrated.  Kama, means pleasure and it was counted among four purusharthas (goals of life), the other three are-  dharma (righteous duty), artha (wealth) and moksha (liberation).
