Position 7: Booty Bounce The original set of texts that became known as Kama Sutra"were actually about everything from urban living to statecraft, from perfumes to gardens," Mitra says. The "distortion" of the book happened "in part because the first edition of Kama Sutra in English was done by colonial enthusiast—and Orientalist—Richard Burton in the late nineteenth century," she explains. The Kama Sutra opposed Victorian British values and was dismissed as ‘pagan nonsense’ and something to be actively stamped out. Burton, even had he wanted to accurately translate the text as it stands, would have most likely fallen afoul of anti-obscenity laws. As it was, his wildly inaccurate text had to be printed under the imprint of a publishing house that Burton himself set up for the purpose, and was designated ‘for private distribution only’.

The Kama Sutra was initially thought to have been written anything between 300 BC and 200 AD, and this understanding persisted for many years.
