[edit] Wrong Dates

Some dates are obviously wrong here. The article states the following:

Historian John Keay says that the Kama Sutra is a compendium that was collected into its present form in the second century CE.[4]

However the dates of its authors, as mentioned at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallanaga_Vatsyayana say the following

who lived some time in the Gupta period (4th to 6th centuries CE )

Obviously one of the dates needs correction.

Thanks.

[edit] Part 6

If you want something to balance out the sex positions, the description of part 6 could be expanded -- it contains some revealing details about the society of the time, and is sometimes amusing, as when we're informed that it's pretty much a courtesan's religious duty to extract a maximum amount of money and jewels from her client.
