OF
THE VARIOUS MODES OF STRIKING, AND OF THE
SOUNDS APPROPRIATE TO THEM
SEXUAL
intercourse can be compared to a quarrel, on
account of the contrarieties of love and its
tendency to dispute. The place of striking
with passion is the body, and on the body
the special places are:
The
shoulders
The head
The space between the breasts
The back
The jaghana, or middle part of the body
The sides
Striking
is of four kinds:
Striking
with the back of the hand
Striking with the fingers a little
contracted
Striking with the fist
Striking with the open palm of the hand
On
account of its causing pain, striking gives
rise to the hissing sound, which is of
various kinds, and to the eight kinds of
crying:
The
sound Hin
The thundering sound
The cooing sound
The weeping sound
The sound Phut
The sound Phât
The sound Sût
The sound Plât
Besides
these, there are also words having a
meaning, such as `mother', and those that
are expressive of prohibition, sufficiency,
desire of liberation, pain or praise, and to
which may be added sounds like those of the
dove, the cuckoo, the green pigeon, the
parrot, the bee, the sparrow, the flamingo,
the duck, and the quail, which are all
occasionally made use of.
Blows
with the fist should be given on the back of
the woman while she is sitting on the lap of
the man, and she should give blows in
return, abusing the man as if she were
angry, and making the cooing and the weeping
sounds. While the woman is engaged in
congress the space between the breasts
should be struck with the back of the hand,
slowly at first, and then proportionately to
the increasing excitement, until the end.
At
this time the sounds Hin and others may be
made, alternately or optionally, according
to habit. When the man, making the sound
Phât, strikes the woman on the head, with
the fingers of his hand a little contracted,
it is called Prasritaka, which means
striking with the fingers of the hand a
little contracted. In this case the
appropriate sounds are the cooing sound, the
sound Phât and the sound Phut in the
interior of the mouth, and at the end of
congress the sighing and weeping sounds. The
sound Phât is an imitation of the sound of
a bamboo being split, while the sound Phut
is like the sound made by something falling
into water. At all times when kissing and
such like things are begun, the woman should
give a reply with a hissing sound. During
the excitement when the woman is not
accustomed to striking, she continually
utters words expressive of prohibition,
sufficiently, or desire of liberation, as
well as the words `father', `mother',
intermingled with the sighing, weeping and
thundering sounds.
Towards the conclusion of the congress, the
breasts, the jaghana, and the sides of the
woman should be pressed with the open palms
of the hand, with some force, until the end
of it, and then sounds like those of the
quail or the goose should be made.
There
are two verses on the subject as follows:
`The
characteristics of manhood are said to
consist of roughness and impetuosity, while
weakness, tenderness, sensibility, and an
inclination to turn away from unpleasant
things are the distinguishing marks of
womanhood. The excitement of passion, and
peculiarities of habit may sometimes cause
contrary results to appear, but these do not
last long, and in the end the natural state
is resumed.'
