In Hinduism
Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)
Sambādha (सम्बाध) (Cf. Bhaga) refers to the “(female) genitalia”, according to the Kāmasūtra of Vātsyāyana and Jaśodhara’s commentary called the Jayamaṅgalā .—Accordingly, “[When you are] about to practise sex, [first you should] rub her genitalia (sambādha) with your hand, and when there is dampness, the sexual act can be commenced. This is the restoration of passion”.
Kamashastra (कामशास्त्र, kāmaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian science of love-making, passion, emotions and other related topics dealing with the pleasures of the senses.
