Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
Source: Wikipedia: KāmaśāstraKokkoka (कोक्कोक) is the author of the Ratirahasya (also known as the Kokaśāstra)—a medieval Indian sex manua.—Kokkoka was a poet, who is variously described as Koka or Koka Pundit (Kokapaṇḍita). The exact date of its writing is not known, but it is estimated the text was written in the 11th or 12th century. It is speculated that Ratirahasya was written to please a king by the name Venudutta. Kokkoka describes himself in the book as siddha patiya pandita, i.e. "an ingenious man among learned men". The manual was written in Sanskrit.
Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
