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 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, 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 middle part of body, 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.' The wedge on the bosom, the scissors on the head, the piercing instrument on
the cheeks, and the pinchers on the breasts and sides, may also be taken into consideration with
the other four modes of striking, and thus give eight ways altogether. But these four ways of
striking with instruments are peculiar to the people of the certain places, and the marks caused by
them are seen on the breasts of their women. They are local peculiarities, but we are of opinion
that the practice of them is painful, barbarous, and base, and quite unworthy of imitation. In the
same way anything that is a local peculiarity should not always be adopted elsewhere, and even
in the place where the practice is prevalent, excess of it should always be avoided.
'About these things there cannot be either enumeration or any definite rule. Congress having
once commenced, passion alone gives birth to all the acts of the parties.'
'Such passionate actions and amorous gesticulations or movements, which arise on the spur of
the moment, and during sexual intercourse, cannot be defined, and are as irregular as dreams. A
horse having once attained the fifth degree of motion goes on with blind speed, regardless of pits,
ditches, and posts in his way; and in the same manner a loving pair become blind with passion in
the heat of congress, and go on with great impetuosity, paying not the least regard to excess. For
this reason one who is well acquainted with the science of love, and knowing his own strength, as
also the tenderness, impetuosity, and strength of the young women, should act accordingly. The
various modes of enjoyment are not for all times or for all persons, but they should only be used
at the proper time and in the proper countries and places.'
