The indian erotic art must be seen at the light of Hinduism. In the indian mithology Kama designates a God of Love. The same word also refers to te search of pleasure, one of the fundamental aspects that lead to the salvation of the soul. It is not surprising, for that matter, that sex has been invested with so much importance for indians for such a long time. That is what Kama-Sutra is all about, a classical book about eroticism and others forms of human pleasure.

The Kama-Sutra was written nearly 1500 years ago by a holy man, Vatsyayana. What is concluded, is that is a compilation and a classification of ancient texts about sex, a few which are 3000 years old. Its fame is not only due to its context but also to its unique character. It is known, however, that the texts and overall the erotic engravings were pretty comun in India (as well as in the whole eastern hemisphere), now only a few have survived until our days.

In the Occident Kama-Sutra was hardly known in 1883, in England, through a private edition with the title of The Hindoo Art of love. Another work of identical importance, much less known and rare, called Ananga-Ranga contains, besides texts, a considerable number of erotic engravings of good quality. The author is, a poet: Kalyana Mall. Published in England 10 years before as A Boat in the Ocean of Love remains until today as the most important ilustrated indian manual about sexuality and relationships in between sexes.

The industry of pornography is, probably, as old as the world itself. In oriental civilizations, namely in Japan, it is believed that erotic designs remount to the end of the first millenium for the exlusive consumption of court. The first function of these designs was, obviously, a visual stimulation, but were also used to teach young men how to behave in matters of sex, from preliminaries to hygiene. Starting in the XVI century the production and circulation of erotic designs, back the denominted shunga, experienced enormous growth thanks to a technique of wood engraving, having obtained elevated levels of sophistication and aesthetic quality.

The shunga engravings were executed and commercialized separately, or in books containing twelve images, denominated enpon, or even in cyllinders, this last form is the rarest and also more expensive. The subjects portrayed were assorted and, sometimes, surprising, since the japanese posessed assorted sexual preferences as well; the majority of the designs represented however heterosexual scenes which ranged from simple, sensual love to the most refined pornography. Curiosly, due to the fact that nudity does not have erotic connotations in Japan, the figures were almost fully dressed and revealed only the sexual organs, exagerated in size.
