Vatsayana's Kamasutra, the gift of the prostitutes. From such 
traditions all of a sudden one day India finds herself full of people 
whose knowledge of sex is next to nothing. Suddenly our culture 
prohibits inquiry of any sort.

Some say that the dressing of the woman is provocating greater number 
of rapes but don't women killers cause the same feeling in women. If 
that is true then the figurines in the temples (especially Khajrao) 
should be so provocative that one should grab the next woman around 
the corner for an intercourse. Wonder why they don't! The same is the 
case with the judges in Indian courts who responded in a recent 
survey said that they would consider dresses as provocation

and a theory put forth by a friend of mine is that as long as women 
are stand-alones in pulic places everything is alright but the moment 
the numbers swell the guys around are in trouble. Rape of males is 
less talked off in India. It was just a few months ago that three 
Bangalorean school girls shall I say raped and then killed a younger 
8th grade boy. Sexual abuse of boys by girls is there on a large 
scale but is definitely under reported ; more under reported than the 
general rape cases. Women ragging boys in colleges is another. Even 
in the Coimbatore Law College (TamilNadu) there have been instances 
of women seniors pinching the nipples of juniors.

says that one rapes only those whom he/she hates! Uncontrolled lust 
theory needs no introduction! Marital rape (A husband having an 
intercouse with a wife against her wish) something which cannot be 
penalised under the Indian Penal Code. Rape is defined under section 
375 of the Indian Penal Code excludes it.A lot of Women's 
Organisation are fighting to see this included. Wonder who will take 
up the case of reverse marital rape! Don't forget the male-rapes (men 
rape men!) that takes place in jails quite commonly. Consensual 
Sex/Rape an intercourse with a girl below  even with consent amounts 
to consensual rape. And of course, bestiality, sexual intercourse 
with animals. In these days when boys and girls start experimenting 
with sex at a very tender age it is best to educate them at the 
earliest.

Dejure I mean not defacto. Even while legalising it an end date      
should be fixed. This will also help in areas where the prevalence of 
STD is high.

are the only things that I believe can hem in the trait that  we

just one partner.

I can recall a column on women's problems a few years  ago by actress 
Revathi(aka Asha Menon) in the Hindu.
