It is a manual for developing the erotic sensibilities, knowledge and skill, including specific instruction on sexual techniques, as well as many other sensual and cultural expressions, referred to as the 64 arts. The approach to sex in the Kama Sutra is from a secular (non-religious, non-spiritual) perspective, whereas Tantra is definitely spiritual.<SPAN id="more-561"></SPAN> The Kama Sutra does not in any way deny the value of spiritual practice, it is just not presenting that perspective. Tantra is all about awakening to full enlightenment, while the Kama Sutra is about great, satisfying, fulfilling sex, primarily between heterosexual couples. In the Kama Sutra sex was considered an essential aspect of everyone’s education.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3A11A694-E416-4533-970A-354943A422DE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
