The Kama Sutra: 12. About oral sex.

There are two kinds of eunuchs, those that are disguised as males, and those that are disguised as females. Eunuchs disguised as females, imitate their dress, speech, gestures, tenderness, timidity, simplicity, softness and bashfulness. The acts that are done on the jaghana or middle parts of women, are done in the mouth of these eunuchs, and this is called Auparishtaka.


These eunuchs derive their imaginable pleasure, and their livelihood from this kind of congress, and they lead the life of courtesans. So much concerning eunuchs disguised as females.



Eunuchs disguised as males, keep their desires secret, and when they with to do anything they lead the life of shampooers. Under the pretence of shampooing, and eunuch of this kind embraces and draws towards himself, the tighs of the man whom he is shampooing, and after this he touches the joints of the thighs and his jaghana, or central portions of his body.


Then, if he finds the lingam of the man erect, he presses it with his hands, and chaffs him for getting into that stage. If after this, and after knowing his intention, the man does not tell the eunuch to proceed, then the latter does it of his own accord and begins the congress. If however, he is ordered by the man to do it, then he disputes with him, and only consents at last with difficulty.


The following eight things are then done by the eunuch, one after the other viz. The nominal congress; biting the sides; pressing outside; pressing inside; kissing; rubbing; sucking a mango fruit; swallowing up.


At the end of each of these, the eunuch expresses his wish to stop, but when one of them is finished, the man desires him to do another, and after that is done, then the one that follows it, and so on.


1) When, holding the man’s lingam with his hand, and placing it between his lips, the eunuch moves his mouth about, it is called the ‘nominal congress’.



2) When, covering the end of the lingam with his fingers collected together like the bud of a plant or a flower, the eunuch presses the sides of it with the lips, using his teeth also, it is called ‘biting the sides’.


3) When, being desired to proceed, the eunuch presses the end of the lingam with his lips closed together, and kisses it as if he were drawing it out, it is called the ‘outside pressing’.



4) When, being asked to go on, he puts the lingam further into his mouth, and presses it with his lips and then takes it out, it is called the ‘inside pressing’.


5) When, holding the lingam in his hand, the eunuch kisses it as if he were kissing the lower part, it is called ‘kissing’.


6) When, after kissing it, he touches it with his tongue everywhere, and passes the tongue over the end of it, it is called ‘rubbing’.


7) When, in the same way, he puts the half of it into his mouth, and forcibly kisses and sucks it, this is called ‘sucking a mango fruit’.


8) And lastly, when, with the consent of the man, the eunuch puts the whole lingam into his mouth, and presses it to the very end, it is called ‘swallowing up’.



Striking, scratching, and other things may also be done during this kind of congress.


The Auparishtaka is practiced also by unchaste and wanton women, female attendants and serving maids i.e. those who are not married to anybody, but who live by shampooing.



The Acharyas (i.e. ancient and venerable authors) are of the opinion that this Auparishtaka is the work of a dog and not a man, because it is a low practice, and opposed to the orders of the Holy Writ, and because the man himself suffers by bringing his lingam into contact with the mouth of eunuchs and women.


But Vatsyayana says that the orders of the Holy Writ do not affect those who resort to courtesans, and the law only prohibits the practice of the Auparishtaka with married women. As regards the injury to the male, that can be easily remedied.


The male servants of some men carry on the mouth congress with their masters. It is also practiced by some citizens who know each other well, among themselves. Some women of the harem, when they are amorous do the acts of the mouth on the yonis of one another, and some men do the same thing with women.


The way of doing this (i.e. of kissing the yoni) should be known from kissing the mouth. When a man and woman lie down in an inverted order i.e. with the head of the one towards the feet of the other, and carry on this congress, it is called the ‘congress of crow’.


For the sake of such things, courtesans abandon men possessed of good qualities, liberal and clever, and become attached to low persons, such as slaves and elephant drivers. The Auparishtaka, or mouth congress, should never be done by a learned Brahman, by a minister that carries on the business of a state, or by a man of good reputation, because though the practice is allowed by the Shastras, there is no reason why it should be carried on, and need only be practiced in particular cases.


As for instance, the taste, and the strength, and digestive qualities of the flesh of dogs are mentioned in works on medicine, but it does not therefore follow, that it should be eaten by the wise. In the same way, there are some men, some places and some times, with respect to which these practices can be made use of.



A man should therefore pay regard to the place, to the time, and to the practice that is to be carried out, as also as to whether it is agreeable to his nature and to himself, and then he may or may not practice these things according to circumstances.


But after all, these things being done secretly, and the mind of the man being fickle, how can it be known what any person will do at any particular time and for any particular.?
