![]() ![]() ![]() The connection between sex and aesthetics may seem strange, but only if we forget that the root word of aesthetics is the Greek word, aisthesis, which refers to “whole region of human perception and sensation” (Eagleton 1990, 13). The Kamasutra “in nsists in engaging the ear, the skin, eye, tongue, and nose each in its own appropriate sensation, all under the control of the mind and heart and driven by the conscious self” (McConnachie 2008, 22). Popular imagination pegs the Kama Sutra primarily as a sex manual certainly it is, but there’s more to it than that, as James McConnachie shows in The Book of Love: The Story of the Kamasutra, published by Metropolitan Books in 2008.
