    Indian NGO features Kama Sutra in safe sex campaign.

    [No authors listed]

    PIP: Many different positions in which sexual intercourse may be enjoyed are depicted in the Kama Sutra, an ancient Sanskrit treatise on the art of physical love. If 65 sex positions are practiced between lovers, the tendency toward growing bored with having sex with only one person will be challenged. To that end, the Indian Health Organization, a nongovernmental organization founded 11 years ago in Bombay, is promoting the teachings of the Kama Sutra as an alternative to condom use in preventing HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The basic message that sex with one partner in many positions is safer than sex in one position with many partners is proclaimed on T-shirts and in a series of explicit postcards. This approach is promoting openness, communication, and equality between the sexes.
