The different ways of lying down, mentioned by Babhravya are:
 
The "clasping position" is used in "low congress" together with the, Pressing position, Twining position and Mare's position. When the legs of both the male and the female are stretched straight out over each other, it is called the "clasping position." It is of two kinds,   Side position and Supine position, according to the way in which they lie down.
 
In the side position the male should invariably lie on his left side, and cause the woman to lie on her right side, and this rule is to be observed in lying down with all kinds of women.
  • When, after congress has begun in the clasping position, the woman presses her lover with her thighs, it is called the "pressing position."
  • When the woman places one of her thighs across the thigh of her lover, it is called the "twining position."
  • When the woman forcibly holds in her vagina the penis after it is in, it is called the "mare's position."

The Deer-woman has the following three ways of lying down:

  • The widely opened position.
    When she lowers her head and raises her middle parts, it is called the "widely opened position."  At such a time the man should apply some lubricating substance, so as to make the entrance easy.
     
  • The yawning position.
    When she raises her thighs and keeps them wide apart and engages in coitus, it is called the "yawning position.
     
  • The position of the wife of Indra.
    When she places her thighs with her legs doubled on them upon her sides, and thus engages in congress, it is called "the position of Indrani."  And this is learnt only by practice. This position is also useful in the case of the "highest congress."
     
Suvarnanabha, however, gives the following in addition:
  • When the female raises both her thighs straight up it is called the "rising position."
     
  • When she raises both her legs, and places them on her lover's shoulders, it is called the "yawning position."
     
  • When the legs are contracted, and thus held by the lover before his bosom, it is called the "pressed position."
     
  • When only one of her legs is stretched out, it is called the "half-pressed position."
     
  • When the woman places one of her legs on her lover's shoulder, and stretches the other out, and then places the latter on his shoulder, and stretches out the other, and continues to do so alternately, it is called the "splitting of a bamboo."
     
  • When one of her legs is placed on the head, and the other is stretched out, it is called the "fixing of a nail." This is learned by practice only.
     
  • When both the legs of the woman are contracted, and placed on her stomach, it is called the "crab's position."
     
  • When the thighs are raised and placed one upon the other, it is called the "packed position."
     
  • When the trunk are placed one upon the other, it is called the "lotus-like position."
     
  • When a man, during coitus, turns round, and enjoys the woman without leaving her, while she holds him round the back all the time, it is called the "turning position."  It is learned only by practice. 

Suvarnanabha, says that these different ways of lying down, sitting, and standing should be practised in water, because it is easy to do so therein. But Vatsyayana is of opinion that congress in water is improper, because it is prohibited by the religious law.
 

Various kinds of congress
  • When a man and a woman support themselves on each other's bodies, or on a pillar, and thus while standing engage in coitus, it is called the "supported congress."
     
  • When a man supports himself against a wall, and the woman, sitting on his hands joined together and held underneath her, throws her arms round his neck, and putting her thighs along side his waist, moves herself by her feet, which are touching the wall against which the man is leaning, it is called the "suspended congress."
     
  • When a man enjoys two women at the same time, both of whom love him equally, it is called the "united congress."
     
  • When a man enjoys many women altogether, it is called the "congress of a herd of cows."
      
  • When a woman stands on her hands and feet like a quadruped, and her lover mounts her like a bull, it is called the "congress of a cow."

In the same way the given below types of congress can be carried on,

    • Congress of a dog
    • Congress of a goat
    • Congress of a deer
    • Forcible mounting of an ass
    • Congress of a cat
    • Jump of a tiger
    • Pressing of an elephant
    • Rubbing of a pig
    • Mounting of a horse
And in all these cases the characteristics of these different animals should be manifested by acting like them.

The congress of an elephant with many female elephants is said to take place only in the water. 

In Gramaneri many young men enjoy a woman who may be married to one of them, either one after the other, or at the same time. Thus one of them holds her, another enjoys her, a third uses her mouth, a fourth holds her middle part, and in this way they go on enjoying her several parts alternately. Some people also have a congress in the anus, and it is called the "lower congress.
