Sexual mores across Asia had their root in Tantra, a sexual philosophy we can trace back 6,000 years to ancient India. Margolis writes that most forms of sexuality were accepted, or even venerated by one religious sect or another — masturbation included. A handbook to life in and out of bed, the “Kamasutra” was compiled in its present form somewhere around 200 CE. Aimed at the India’s Brahmin elite — the highest caste in the Hindu caste system in India — it encouraged rough sex, slapping and biting, among other erotic pursuits.
