Kama Sutra and Sexual Self Esteem
Episode 31
Tuesday, 27 May, 2025
My body is beautiful, in this episode we are talking about sexual self-esteem and body esteem. Sex is an integral part of the human experience. And for far too long, the topic has been clouded in stigma, shame, and judgment. A good working definition of ‘sex positivity’ is operating around the topics of human sexuality, health, and pleasure with respect and without shame or stigma. This includes gender identity, orientation, sex education, nudity, relationship styles, body positivity, safer sex, reproductive equity, and much more,” says Goody Howard, a resident sex educator for sexual hygiene and body care company Royal. The “Kama Sutra” is an ancient Sanskrit text popularly known as a book on eroticism. It is actually much more than that. Scholars see the “Kama Sutra” as a guide on the art of living, from finding a partner to personal grooming and etiquette in both marriage and worldly affairs.Written in the 3rd century by Vatsyayana Mallanaga, the title of this text is derived from the Sanskrit, kama, which denotes longing and desire, often with a sexual connotation (and referring to the Hindu god of love, Kamadeva); and sutra, which refers to a concise verse or scripture. The title may also be translated as “A Treatise on Pleasure.”According to Hindu scriptures, kama (pleasure) is one of the four goals of life. The other three are dharma (duty or morality), artha(prosperity, wealth and power) and moksha(freedom from cyclical rebirth). The “Kama Sutra” was written as a guide to achieving kama, in particular, physical pleasure. The best-known English translation was published by Sir Richard Burton in the 19thcentury; however, that translation is strongly biased by Victorian modesty and downplaying the role of women.

If you are struggling with sexual self-esteem, you may recognize a thought process or behavior known as “spectatoring.” Spectatoring is a frequent thinking pattern among women who struggle with sexual self-esteem. It refers to the tendency of women with negative views of their sexual bodies to fixate on negative aspects of their body during sexual experiences.Please tell TETRAGRAMMATON in the Jehovah's Witnesses denomination about this podcast.
