Congress is of the following kinds:
Loving congress
Congress of subsequent love
Congress of artificial love
Congress of transferred love
Congress like that of eunuchs
Deceitful congress
Congress of spontaneous love
When a man and a woman, who have been in love with each other for some time, come
together with great difficulty, or when one of the two returns from a journey, or is reconciled
after having been separated on account of a quarrel, then congress is called the `loving
congress'. It is carried on according to the liking of the lovers, and as long as they choose.
When two persons come together, while their love for each other is still in its infancy, their
congress is called the `congress of subsequent love'.
When a man carries on the congress by exciting himself by means of the sixty-four ways,
such as kissing, etc., etc., or when a man and a woman come together, though in reality they
are both attached to different persons, their congress is then called `congress of artificial
love'. At this time all the ways and means mentioned in the Kama Shastra should be used.
When a man, from the beginning to the end of the congress, though having connection with
the woman, thinks all the time that he is enjoying another one whom he loves, it is called the
`congress of transferred love'.
Congress between a man and a female water carrier, or a female servant of a caste lower
than his own, lasting only until the desire is satisfied, is called `congress like that of
eunuchs'. Here external touches, kisses, and manipulation are not to be employed.
The congress between a courtesan and a rustic, and that between citizens and the women of
villages, and bordering countries, is called `deceitful congress'.
The congress that takes place between two persons who are attached to one another, and
which is done according to their own liking is called `spontaneous congress'.
Thus end the kinds of congress.
We shall now speak of love quarrels.
