Kama Sutra

Well today I was reading this book, how'd you guess it was Kama Sutra. Anyway, I ran across a few chapters that caught my attention that I wanted to share what I read as well as my insights. In Kama Sutra Part V About the Wives if Other Men was a few things that stood out to me. For example, the book stated "a man may resort to the wife of another, for the purpose of saving his own life, when he perceives that his love for her proceeds from one degree of intensity to another." The book also list all 10 degrees, I'm not going to list them all but here are a few:

1.Love of the eye
2.Attachment of the mind
3.Constant reflection
4.Emaciation of the body
5.Turning away from objects of enjoyment

So, I'm reading this an immediately the wheels start turning. Basically, it says that it's ok to cheat if it's for the purpose of saving your life. Well, for many men that gives us like a million reasons or should I say excuses to find a reason to "proceed from one degree of intensity to another." I'm just saying it's wild to even think on this. Next, the book goes on to say "A woman falls in love with every handsome mat she sees, and so does every man at the sight of a beautiful woman." Interesting, so when will anyone have a committed relationship if this is believed to be true. Also, this is saying that you can fall in love with more than one person and it's ok. So those of you who say you can fall in love or be in love with more than one person, remember where you read it first. Now this is where the damn book throws me. Again, I like to read but some things just confesses me at times. The book states "A woman may reject a man for the following reasons"

1.Affection for her husband
2.Desire for lawful progeny
3.Want of opportunity
4.Difference in rank of life
5.Thinking the man may be attached to some other person
6.Thinking that the man is too devoted to his friends
7.Disillusion of seeing his grey hair or shabby apperance

I take a look at this brief list of 7 things out the 20 that was listed and I say, first you say you can fall in love with every handsome man she see. Now she can reject you for her husband but if she is interested she can go ahead and accept his advances. I know its a guy somewhere reading this like, I wish my wife would. Well, don't hate the player hate the book.
The book also states that "The following are the men who generally obtain success with women:"

1.Men well versed in the science of love
2.Men skilled in telling stories (Basically a liar)
3.Men who send presents to them (Obviously)
4.Men who talk well (So what my hood dialect wouldn't win me Beyonce..."What it do shawty")
5.Men who are good looking (Obviously again)
6.Men who are devoted to sexual pleasures (SWV song blasting "I'm going down town" in all the ladies head right now)

They listed 24 but I gave you 6. Now the last Chapter I finished up on was Part VI About Courtesans Chapter 2 Of Living Like a Wife. When I write what's next every man will stand up and probably rejoice because it's like we just won the lottery. The book states "When a courtesan is living as a wife with her lover, she should behave like a chaste woman, and do everything to his satisfaction." Did the book just say everything to his satisfaction, well the first thing on a man list would be for her to be quiet and stop asking so many questions. When you in a relationship it's like being on Jeopardy because every conversation has to end with a question. She looks at you and say "Who is Jane Doe" you answer back, my cousin, she says, wrong for $800 Alex, I called the chick and she said she your girlfriend. I'm just saying, women you know you ask a million in one questions like Wendy Williams. You walk in your house and sit on your couch you automatically on a talk show defending yourself. Hold on for a second let me throw my living room set outside. Ok, now where was I, oh yeah, a woman doing everything to his satisfaction. All I'm going to say if the things listed in this book was half true, the divorce rate may be less in a man's eye but probably higher in a woman's eye. Again, this is just what I read so you can take it as food for thought.

Live Free. Love Hard.
