If open sex is considered offensive in India till date..... I doubt the origin of Kamasutra from India.....?

I am not sure how it became offensive. but one theory of its connotation and origin is that it stands for "fornication under consent of king" so basically back in the days of serious monarchs. the king would approve certain peoples sex. basically giving them blessing to do such an act. most cases both parties weren't exactly willing so the king was basically approving rape. but it was for some purpose that I can't remember.

Uhh...I think it is not a matter of religion but of a moral standpoint.  I do not believe there is anything anywhere that says "You cannot have sex untill you are married."  Like I said...maybe it was a moral issue in the 1900's.  You know what....I think you are on to something.  If people would wait until they got married to have sex there would be less spread of disease, abortion and teen pregnancy.  Plus...if you get AIDS could you imagine yourself saying that "The sex was WAY worth it!"  lol  Is it really so bad?  Half the time I think it is more fun on my own anyway.  hahahaha

It is most common in the western countries. In America we have a puritan society that send mixed signals about sex. Most people view it as dirty. so commercials about titillate them. In Buddhist countries there are ads with sex but it is usually humor. basically the people that call themselves Christians have screwed everything up.

What exactly does "cholo" mean in your language?  In mine (spanish from peru) it's a derogatory name for a native indian... kind of like the N word for black people.  And "chola" is the female version only that insinuates that the girl is also a whore.  I doubt you're that... are you?

I'm not really a big fan of religious regulations, but I'll give my 2 cents anyway :).\n\nThough I don't have great knowledge of the Hindu religion, I know they place considerable regard on a woman's virginity at the time of marriage. As a result, it may be perceived a 'sin' for a woman to have had a sexual relationship prior to her wedding. The way I see it however, if the Hindu girl made the decision to engage in extra-marital sex with someone she loves who returns her feelings of affection, it really shouldn't be an issue lest the couple themselves chooses to make it one.

Not at all.  There was a recent case of this in Africa, with her sentence (being buried to the neck and stoned) being "reconsidered" because of the international reaction.  Other behaviors have been protested, too.  The South American custom of a man murdering his divorced wife if she starts to date again, and calling it a matter of "honor".  Indian women being burned in a "cooking accident" because the dowry didn't come through.  Why should Muslims be given a pass?  They just convicted a man in Georgia for cutting his daughter's clitoris off with a pair of scissors in order to be sure she remained "good".  He may protest his sentence, but she'll suffer longer than he will.  This isn't ethnocentricity.  It's an ability to empathize with a person who suffers.  Those without the ability to empathize aren't faithful to any religion; they're merely psychopaths.

Everyone is wrong except the guy who said it was from Anglo-Saxon.  "F..k" has a long pedigree in the Germanic languages.  It was found in Proto-Germanic about 2500 years ago as the verb *fukan 'have intercourse'.  This was not vulgar at that time and was a euphemism for some older word.  Ultimately, it comes from Proto-Indo-European *pug- "to strike", from which we get the borrowed Latin form pugilism 'boxing'.

I would have to say the reason would be that females have always been considered pure and good like the "Virgin Mary". While males on the other hand  have all kinds of evils that are related to them. I wouldn't let it bother you, the names given to females for the same acts is "Old World Thinking". Female sexuality has only begun to become socially accepted. Just remember to always practice safe sex.

you all are missing the point. indian women are naturally modest. this modesty is why they might seem afraid of sex when in fact they are truly shy of it.  As for culture being the cause of fear, thats nonsense, its more the fact that culture encourages shyness and modesty.

I can no to this question reason being , Indian people attach themselves from soul and Indian woman allow a man (even other than his husband ) access only after full soul attachment .So the question of one night stands is out >If in some case it happens ,she is definately going to be awake for many nights to come

Thank you very much for informing me.  I honestly did not have a clu as to why Indians wore them.  I assumed it meant that you were married, but you have given me knowledge into a deeper aspect of it.  I will respect it more now, when I see someone with that.  I appreciate your elaboration and information provided.  I think people ask a lot because they honestly don't know why.  Especially if they are not Indian, because mostly all cultures don't ever do that.

It depends on the nature of the society, how uptight it is sexually.  In the US that is very uptight, so any sexual actions/designations that do not fit in with the social "norm" do score points for inequality.

Wrong answer from whoever thought there was a more tranquil life in India, don't they have drunks who have sex in India?\nYour Son will grow up on the beliefs of whatever you have instilled into  him. \nIf you are not into drunks or sex then the chances are that he will follow your lead, no matter what part of the world he moves to!

Sex is the world's oldest profession. It's been here since the very beginning of mankind. In my opinion it is indeed a natural thing.  So go for it!
