"Kamasutra", which has become incredibly popular all over the world, appeared in India before our era. If you believe the legends, the authors of the erotic treatise were gods who never made secrets from their intimate life. And that's true - their love games are depicted in every detail on the walls of Hindu temples. And I must admit that the celestials had a very rich experience in the intimate area.
Escaped Spouse
The sexual life of Indian celestials was very diverse and abounded with betrayal and adultery. So, the thunder god Indra and the fire god Agni vied with each other to achieve intimacy with the wife of one of the sons of Brahma himself.
Often, the wives also instructed their divine spouses, left them, then returned, violently reconciled, and love flared up between them again.
So, for example, did Saranya, the wife of the sun god Vivasvat. Husband's sexual insatiability made her
go to the deception. With the help of magic, Saranya created a woman, her exact copy, who took her place on the marriage bed and even gave birth to three more children to God.

But in the end, Vivasvat found out about everything and went in search of his real wife, who by that time had assumed the form of a mare. When the sun god found his escaped spouse, he got her to fulfill marital duties, although for this he himself had to turn into a horse. After that, Saranya gave birth to twin boys Ashvins, which means "born of a horse."
WELL AND DAD …
Alas, the relationship between the inhabitants of heaven cannot be called puritanical. Even children were given, changed, sold, kidnapped and taken hostage. Sometimes babies had to be saved even from their own fathers.
The famous epics "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata" tell about very intriguing episodes from the sex life of the gods. Take Brahma, whose wife was the magnificent Sarasvati. Despite the beauty of his wife, Brahma now and then cheated on her with their daughter.
To put an end to this incestuous relationship, Sarasvati created the beautiful Gayatri from half of her amazing body, the passion for which immediately flared up her depraved husband. And Saraswati, who was immediately called the best of mothers, turned into a river and went underground.
LOVE SHEPHERD
Vishnu was also a naughty one. In his youth, he now and then turned into a sweet shepherdess and seduced not only young shepherdesses, but also mature matrons, who, barely hearing the sound of his flute, dropped everything and ran to him as fast as they could.
The shepherd made the women whirl until exhaustion in a frantic dance. And then the most interesting thing began … By the way, according to legend, Vishnu had an incredible ability even for the gods to make love with hundreds of women at once. That is how he acquired numerous offspring, which later settled in almost all of Central India.
Shiva was also strong in sex. Once he was so violently indulged in passion with Rudrani, the wife of the harsh god of storms, that the other celestials asked him to restrain ejaculation. They, poor fellows, were simply afraid that from this intercourse a strong and frightening creature would appear.
Oddly enough, Shiva heeded the persuasion and stopped in time. However, the consequences of his "self-control" were very dire for the petitioners. The dissatisfied Rudrani became so angry that she cursed them and doomed them to childlessness.
LOVE CURIES
Erotic curiosities in the life of the inhabitants of heaven were also not uncommon. Take Shiva, for example. He loved to organize merry feasts on the top of Mount Kailash. And the whole divine pantheon was invited to these feasts. Someone played the flute, someone beat the drum, someone sang. Wine flowed like a river, the guests drank intoxicating drinks, had fun, arranged love jokes.
Once, at one of the parties, Vishnu decided to turn into the nymph Mohini. The beauty was so charming that Shiva immediately began to take care of her. Without thinking twice, he wrapped Mohini in his arms and took possession of her. As a result, a deity was born, named after both parents - Vishnu-Hari and Shiva-Hara - Harihara.
And the nymph Mohini herself, "graceful as an elephant" (in India, elephants are considered the top of grace), was later fascinated by Brahma, so much so that she lost consciousness. However, immersed in self-contemplation, the great god did not pay any attention to this. Passionate Mohini was beside herself. She broke up with all her lovers, stopped eating and drinking and, as the legends say, tossed about like "rice in a pot over the fire."
WEAK PLACE-SEX
But not only the inhabitants of heaven loved practical jokes and fun. Asuras, demons and sorcerers who were always at odds with the gods, were also their great admirers.
The magic, which the asuras wielded to perfection, not only helped them in everyday affairs, but also served as the main weapon in the incessant war with the gods.
Demons and sorcerers were well aware that the gods were stronger than them. But they also understood that the celestials have one weak point - sex. Therefore, it is necessary to turn, say, a nondescript female deer into a beautiful girl, and then, at a convenient moment, substitute her for some of the celestials who are eager for fleeting connections. Naturally, blinded by passion, he will enter into intimate contact with the animal.
As soon as such a thing happened, the asuras immediately announced the shameful bestiality, and the god who had lost his hair became a universal laughing stock. The most famous for such tricks was the demon Taraka. In the end, the celestials ran out of patience. Shiva's son Skandi defeated and punished the demon, depriving him of male power. And as soon as Taraka became impotent, he immediately lost his magical power. That's it. Don't dig a hole for another …
HEAVENLY JACKETS
Erotic magic was used every now and then by Rakshasas - demons, and bhutas - spirits of the dead, and Kravyads - corpse eaters, and many other evil spirits. However, more than others in this field distinguished the pisachi - demonic female beings.
The most famous of these was Arathi. Insatiable and carnivorous, she came naked to sleeping men, had oral sex with them and thus deprived them of their male power. Moreover, this erotic vampire was especially eager for young men who had only recently become men.
Among the semi-divine and near-divine characters in Indian mythology, apsaras - heavenly nymphs, dancers and fairies - were especially popular among the Hindus. These charms came from the foam of the ocean waves, but since they were not bathed in pure water, neither gods nor asuras could marry them. So the unfortunate apsaras became "women for all" - heavenly courtesans, in our opinion. The legends contain different information about their number - from thirty to hundreds of thousands!
The most privileged position and honor were enjoyed by the apsaras, who delight in paradise the soldiers who fell on the battlefield. But they didn't stop there. With great pleasure, heavenly courtesans and dancers seduced the gods and holy sages-rishis, and on mere mortals they even sent madness of love.
Alas, almost all the ladies remained nameless, but the name of one of them is known for sure. After all, the beautiful Urvasi seduced more than all the gods and holy rishis.
At the mere sight of her, the gods Varuna and Mithra erupted semen, for which they were very, very ashamed.
Over time, Mithra managed to get rid of erotic obsession, and in revenge for the former shame, he sent a curse to the insidious temptress. So Urvashi was doomed to live on earth with a mere mortal - a man until her death.
However, common sense suggests that this lady's life has developed well. The husband doted in her (and could it be otherwise?), And from this marriage eight sons were born.
It would seem that such a promiscuous sex life of celestials should have become a bad example for people. But no. In fact, everything turned out exactly the opposite. The Indians learned from an early age to perceive sex not as a forbidden fruit or a shameful occupation, but as a completely natural and very important area of human relations. That is why they are much less likely to develop nervous and other sexual disorders.
