In Hinduism

Kama-shastra (the science of Love-making)

Source: archive.org: The Kama sutra of Vatsyayana (Burton)

Saṃprayoga (संप्रयोग) refers to “sexual intercourse” (which is dependent on man and woman), according to the Vātsyāyana’s Kāmasūtra: a Sanskrit text from the 2nd century dealing with eroticism, sexuality and emotional fulfillment in life belonging to Kāmaśāstra (the ancient Indian science of love-making).—Accordingly, “[Objection]—Some learned men say that as Dharma is connected with things not belonging to this world, it is appropriately treated of in a book; and so also is Artha, because it is practised only by the application of proper means, and a knowledge of those means can only be obtained by study and from books. But Kāma being a thing which is practised even by the brute creation, and which is to be found everywhere, does not want any work on the subject. [Answer]—This is not so. Sexual intercourse being a thing dependent (saṃprayoga-parādhīnatva) on man and woman requires the application of proper means by them, and those means are to be learnt from the Kāma Śāstra. The non-application of proper means, which we see in the brute creation, is caused by their being unrestrained, and by the females among them only being fit for sexual intercourse at certain seasons and no more, and by their intercourse not being preceded by thought of any kind”

Samprayoga (सम्प्रयोग) refers to the “sexual act”, according to the Kāmasūtra of Vātsyāyana and Jaśodhara’s commentary called the Jayamaṅgalā .—Accordingly, “[Commentary on verse 7.2.2]:—‘about to practice sex’: at the beginning of the sexual act (samprayoga). This is at the start [of the sexual act]. Even if the passion is weak with regards to sex because the penis is inert, first ‘her genitalia’, i.e. her vulva, should be rubbed with his hand, should be stimulated with the ‘elephant trunk’ [method]...”.
