Picking up a comment made by Avinash on this blog (hippocrate changing?), I agree with him that things were dramatically opposite in ancient India. Infact, I don't think any of the civilizations was more comfortable discussing sex than our ancient Indian civilization. Having been both to Khajuraho and the Konark Sun Temple at Orissa, I can tell you that the graphic depiction of sex there is beyond imagination!
Just think about it, in our so called "Modern" India, there exist a section of people who would even try burning paintings of artist no lesser than MF Hussain calling them "obscene", contrast this with ancient India, where temples were built showcasing people engaged in sexual acts!!!
One explanation for depiction of sex in Temples, which I have heard, is:
All these sexual sculptures are on the outside walls of the temple while the lord resides inside. This is to establish that one can only attempt to reach higher levels of spirituality by dealing with one's carnal instincts/needs and not by sweeping them under the carpet or ignoring them as if they did,'t exist. (Osho?)
Is this the only explantaion? Have you heard any other?? I am interested.
This open minded-ness aside, in ancient India, sex got recognised as an art by Vatsyayan's "Kamasutra". Imagine not only did the society accept it, it also became "literature" - which even today, remains one of the most sought-after Indian work, all across the globe!
Kudos to such society!
