The Kama Sutra - Page 58/585

If the girl is familiar with the man, she should place near him,

without saying anything, the tambula, the ointment, or the garland that

he may have asked for, or she may tie them up in his upper garment.

While she is engaged in this, the man should touch her young breasts in

the sounding way of pressing with the nails, and if she prevents him

doing this he should say to her, "I will not do it again if you will

embrace me," and should in this way cause her to embrace him. While he

is being embraced by her he should pass his hand repeatedly over and

about her body. By and bye he should place her in his lap, and try more

and more to gain her consent, and if she will not yield to him he should

frighten her by saying, "I shall impress marks of my teeth and nails on

your lips and breasts, and then make similar marks on my own body, and

shall tell my friends that you did them. What will you say then?" In

this and other ways, as fear and confidence are created in the minds of

children, so should the man gain her over to his wishes.

On the second and third nights, after her confidence has increased still

more, he should feel the whole of her body with his hands, and kiss her

all over; he should also place his hands upon her thighs and shampoo

them, and if he succeed in this he should then shampoo the joints of her

thighs. If she tries to prevent him doing this he should say to her,

"What harm is there in doing it?" and should persuade her to let him do

it. After gaining this point he should touch her private parts, should

loosen her girdle and the knot of her dress, and turning up her lower

garment should shampoo the joints of her naked thighs. Under various

pretences he should do all these things, but he should not at that time

begin actual congress. After this he should teach her the sixty-four

arts, should tell her how much he loves her, and describe to her the

hopes which he formerly entertained regarding her. He should also

promise to be faithful to her in future, and should dispel all her fears

with respect to rival women, and, at last, after having overcome her

bashfulness, he should begin to enjoy her in a way so as not to frighten

her. So much about creating confidence in the girl; and there are,

moreover, some verses on the subject as follows:--
