Subject: [Tango-L] Alberto and the Kama Sutra
This is a link to the newsgroup run by Daniel Lapadula
where Alberto posted the reference to the Kama Sutra.
To summarize: the group is debating the campeonato
which recently took place in BsAs and whether the
judges fairly applied the criteria of 'maintaining the
embrace'. Alberto and others are pointing out that so
much of dancing is individual and that some things
can't be evaluated objectively. He then references
the Kama Sutra which he has downloaded ( my mistake)
to point out that in Chapter 2, the Hindus have
identified four types of embrace in making love (
Sutra). He also gets in a little dig about Americans
who insist on quantifying everything ( see Masters &
johnson et al) and concludes that some things just
can't be measured.
If someone would care to provide a translation, I am
sure Alberto would not mind, but I am bored with
trying to appease the drama queen.

I think generally some of us see embrace as a technical thing [not that its not important]....., Like always Alberto has the right ideas;)
More embraces from KS ==>
~~~~~~~~
The two kinds of embrace take place when the lover is standing are:
When a woman, clinging to a man as a creeper twines round a tree, bends his head down to hers with the desire of kissing him and slightly makes the sound of sut sut, embraces him, and looks lovingly towards him, it is called the 'twining of a creeper'.
When a woman, having placed one of her feet on the foot of her lover, and the other on one of his thighs, passes one of her arms round his back, and the other on his shoulders, makes slightly the sounds of singing and cooing, and wishes, as it were, to climb up him in order to have a kiss, it is called an embrace like the 'climbing of a tree'.
