WHEN VICE WAS VIRTUE
Did you know India is the only civilisation to elevate sex (kama) to a goal of life. The study of sex was a science in ancient India, along with dharma (religion) and artha (money). Kamasutra, the popular Indian treatise on sex, compiled by Vatsyayana, a third century sexologist and philosopher, is a culmination of this belief system that regarded sex and sexual health as an integral part of a healthy living. This is also what the World Health Organisation (WHO) is saying today.
