    		If you've ever perused the unabridged version (not that I have!), you would find most of it concerns the social customs and rituals of courtship, marriage, extramarital liaisons, pre-marital liaisons, marriage and courtship within and without one's caste, and how-to's thereof, and very little concerns the positions used to give and receive sensual pleasure.
