Alain Daniélou, The Complete Kama Sutra: The First Unabridged Modern Translation of the Classic Indian Text, ISBN 978-0-89281-525-8. Burton made two important contributions to the Kamasutra. First, he had the courage to publish it in the colonial era against the political and cultural mores of the British elite. He creatively found a way to subvert the then prevalent censorship laws of Britain under the Obscene Publications Act of 1857. [100] [97] Burton created a fake publishing house named The Kama Shastra Society of London and Benares (Benares = Varanasi), with the declaration that it is "for private circulation only". [97] The second major contribution was to edit it in a major way, by changing words and rewriting sections to make it more acceptable to the general British public. For example, the original Sanskrit Kamasutra does not use the words lingam or yoni for sexual organs, and almost always uses other terms. Burton adroitly avoided being viewed as obscene to the Victorian mindset by avoiding the use of words such as penis, vulva, vagina and other direct or indirect sexual terms in the Sanskrit text to discuss sex, sexual relationships and human sexual positions. Burton used the terms lingam and yoni instead throughout the translation. [101] This conscious and incorrect word substitution, states Doniger, thus served as an Orientalist means to "anthropologize sex, distance it, make it safe for English readers by assuring them, or pretending to assure them, that the text was not about real sexual organs, their sexual organs, but merely about the appendages of weird, dark people far away." [101] Though Burton used the terms lingam and yoni for human sexual organs, terms that actually mean a lot more in Sanskrit texts and its meaning depends on the context. However, Burton's Kamasutra gave a unique, specific meaning to these words in the western imagination. [101] Wendy Doniger (2011). "The Mythology of the Kāmasūtra". In H. L. Seneviratne (ed.).

According to Doniger, the Kama Sutra is a "great cultural masterpiece", one which can inspire contemporary Indians to overcome "self-doubts and rejoice" in their ancient heritage. [117] In popular culture After reading and considering the works of Babhravya and other ancient authors, and thinking over the meaning of the rules given by them, this treatise was composed, according ​ to the precepts of the Holy Writ, for the benefit of the world, by Vatsyayana, while leading the life of a religious student at Benares, and wholly engaged in the contemplation of the Deity. This work is not to be used merely as an instrument for satisfying our desires. A person acquainted with the true principles of this science, who preserves his Dharma (virtue or religious merit), his Artha (worldly wealth), and his Kama (pleasure or sensual gratification), and who has regard to the customs of the people, is sure to obtain the mastery over his senses. In short, an intelligent and knowing person, attending to Dharma and Artha and also to Kama, without becoming the slave of his passions, will obtain success in everything that he may do." Bez ohledu na to, zda pochází čtenář z východu nebo je příslušníkem západní civilizace, mluví k němu tato kniha stejnou řečí. Hlavním smyslem vědění, které podává Kamasutra není sex jako takový. Je to především sdělení o tom, že bez lásky nelze dosáhnout opravdového sexuálního uspokojení ani zbavit své tělo touhy po sexuální rozkoši. Setrvání ve svazku s nemilovaným člověkem je tedy pouhou ztrátou času. Bez lásky se sex omezuje na pouhý akt podobný tomu, který provozují zvířata. I se znalostí rozmanitého počtu pozic uvedených v Kamasutře tak není možné uspět v umění lásky bez odpovídajícího duševního prožitku. Jak kamasutra popisuje vztah mezi mužem a ženou?

je podle Kamasutry poskytnout muži potěšení a stát se nenahraditelným prvkem jeho života. Znamením toho, že se jí to povedlo, je mužova věrnost a oddanost, která jí však zároveň poskytuje dostatek svobody. Oba póly se tak stávají rovnocennými a vyrovnanými.Sage Vatsyayana predominantly discusses Kama along with its relationship with Dharma and Artha of the four good goals of human life ( Purusharthas).
