Today's Educational Reading: the Kama Sutra
'The rules of the Shastra (Sutra) apply so long as the passion of man is middling, but when the wheel of love is once set in motion, there is then no Shastra and no order.'
In the modern world this would be what we call the small print.
'On account of its causing pain, striking gives rise to the hissing sound, which is of various kinds, and to the eight kinds of crying ... and to which may be added sounds like those of the dove, the cuckoo, the green pigeon, the parrot, the bee, the sparrow, the flamingo, the duck, and the quail, which are all occasionally made use of.'
Personally I've never made a noise like a duck while in bed, but it's good to know that that it's allowable and not beyond the bounds of civilised behaviour.
