The Ananga Ranga
The Ananga Ranga was written by the Indian poet Kalyan Mall in the 16th century. Like the Kama Sutra,
it is best described as a 'better sex' manual with a spiritual influence. It combines advice on sexual positions and
methods of pleasuring, knowledge of the different types (temperaments) of men & women and their sex organs,
mixed together with verses about spiritual life.
