    The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text widely considered to be the standard work on love in Sanskrit literature written by the Indian intellectual Vatsayana. A portion of the work deals with human sexual behavior.

    The Kama Sutra is mostly notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra (Sanskrit: Kāma Śhāstra). Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva's doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.

    Historian John Keay says that the Kama Sutra is a compendium that was collected into its present form in the second century CE; however, given that Mallanaga Vatsyayana wrote sometime in the Gupta period (between 4th and 6th centuries), this speculation of Keay's is doubtful.[4]

    Yes but did you know that The most widely known English translation of the Kama Sutra was made by the famous traveler and author Sir Richard Francis Burton and compiled by his colleague Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot in 1883. Historian Burjor Avari has criticized Burton's translation as "inadequate," having had the result that the book gained a reputation in the West of being a pornographic work.[14]

    A recent translation is that of Indra Sinha, published in 1980. In the early 1990s its chapter on lovemaking positions began circulating on the internet as an independent text and today is often assumed to be the whole of the Kama Sutra.[15][18]

    Not really by the look of it. There's a fire engine and a couple of people standing outside one of the houses.

    A month or two ago a couple of skips full of weed were found in a house across the road. :hmm:
