CHAPTER VIII.

ABOUT WOMEN ACTING THE PART OF A MAN; AND OF THE WORK OF A MAN.

When a woman sees that her lover is fatigued by constant congress,

without having his desire satisfied, she should, with his permission,

lay him down upon his back, and give him assistance by acting his part.

She may also do this to satisfy the curiosity of her lover, or her own

desire of novelty.

There are two ways of doing this, the first is when during congress she

turns round, and gets on the top of her lover, in such a manner as to

continue the congress, without obstructing the pleasure of it; and the

other is when she acts the man's part from the beginning. At such a

time, with flowers in her hair hanging loose, and her smiles broken by

hard breathings, she should press upon her lover's bosom with her own

breasts, and lowering her head frequently, should do in return the same

actions which he used to do before, returning his blows and chaffing

him, should say, "I was laid down by you, and fatigued with hard

congress, I shall now therefore lay you down in return." She should then

again manifest her own bashfulness, her fatigue, and her desire of

stopping the congress. In this way she should do the work of a man,

which we shall presently relate.

Whatever is done by a man for giving pleasure to a woman is called the

work of a man, and is as follows:--

While the woman is lying on his bed, and is as it were abstracted by his

conversation, he should loosen the knot of her under garments, and when

she begins to dispute with him, he should overwhelm her with kisses.

Then when his lingam is erect he should touch her with his hands in

various places, and gently manipulate various parts of the body. If the

woman is bashful, and if it is the first time that they have come

together, the man should place his hands between her thighs, which she

would probably keep close together, and if she is a very young girl, he

should first get his hands upon her breasts, which she would probably

cover with her own hands, and under her armpits and on her neck. If

however she is a seasoned woman, he should do whatever is agreeable

either to him or to her, and whatever is fitting for the occasion. After

this he should take hold of her hair, and hold her chin in his fingers

for the purpose of kissing her. On this, if she is a young girl, she

will become bashful and close her eyes. Any how he should gather from

the action of the woman what things would be pleasing to her during

congress.

Here Suvarnanabha says that while a man is doing to the woman what he

likes best during congress, he should always make a point of pressing

those parts of her body on which she turns her eyes.

The signs of the enjoyment and satisfaction of the women are as follows:

her body relaxes, she closes her eyes, she puts aside all bashfulness,

and shows increased willingness to unite the two organs as closely

together as possible. On the other hand, the signs of her want of

enjoyment and of failing to be satisfied are as follows: she shakes her

hands, she does not let the man get up, feels dejected, bites the man,

kicks him, and continues to go on moving after the man has finished. In

such cases the man should rub the yoni of the woman with his hand and

fingers (as the elephant rubs anything with his trunk) before engaging

in congress, until it is softened, and after that is done he should

proceed to put his lingam into her.

The acts to be done by the man are:

Moving forward.

Friction or churning.

Piercing.

Rubbing.

Pressing.

Giving a blow.

The blow of a boar.

The blow of a bull.

The sporting of a sparrow.

(1). When the organs are brought together properly and directly it is

called "moving the organ forward."

(2). When the lingam is held with the hand, and turned all round in the

yoni, it is called "churning."

(3). When the yoni is lowered, and the upper part of it is struck with

the lingam, it is called "piercing."

(4). When the same thing is done on the lower part of the yoni, it is

called "rubbing."

(5). When the yoni is pressed by the lingam for a long time, it is

called "pressing."

(6). When the lingam is removed to some distance from the yoni, and then

forcibly strikes it, it is called "giving a blow."

(7). When only one part of the yoni is rubbed with the lingam, it is

called the "blow of a boar."

(8). When both sides of the yoni are rubbed in this way, it is called

the "blow of a bull."

(9). When the lingam is in the yoni, and moved up and down frequently,

and without being taken out, it is called the "sporting of a sparrow."

This takes place at the end of congress.

When a woman acts the part of a man, she has the following things to do

in addition to the nine given above, viz.

The pair of tongs.

The top.

The swing.

(1). When the woman holds the lingam in her yoni, draws it in, presses

it, and keeps it thus in her for a long time, it is called the "pair of

tongs."

(2). When, while engaged in congress, she turns round like a wheel, it

is called the "top." This is learnt by practice only.

(3). When, on such an occasion, the man lifts up the middle part of his

body, and the woman turns round her middle part, it is called the

"swing."

When the woman is tired, she should place her forehead on that of her

lover, and should thus take rest without disturbing the union of the

organs, and when the woman has rested herself the man should turn round

and begin the congress again.

There are also some verses on the subject as follows:

"Though a woman is reserved, and keeps her feelings concealed, yet when

she gets on the top of a man, she then shows all her love and desire. A

man should gather from the actions of the woman of what disposition she

is, and in what way she likes to be enjoyed. A woman during her monthly

courses, a woman who has been lately confined, and a fat woman should

not be made to act the part of a man."
