Lazzat Un Nisa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lazzat Un Nisa (Delights of a woman) is an erotic Indian story. The original manuscript dates back to the Qutb Shahi period. In the fifteenth century, the court of Bidar patronized such erotic works as the Bhog bal, Thadkirat al-Shahawat (List of aphrodisiacs) and Srngaramanjari (erotic Bouquets). Lizzat Un Nisa is one of the few surviving erotics works from the period.[1]
The main subject of the story is a man named Harichand who under orders of a king embarks on a journey to collect exotic gifts and beautiful women for the pleasures of the king. The manuscript provides advise on various sexual techniques. It has a section on how to arouse a woman and observations based on sizes of a woman's vagina. [citation needed]
