The males simply remove their desire, while the females, from their consciousness of desire, feel a certain kind of pleasure, which gives them satisfaction, but it is impossible for them to tell you what kind of pleasure they feel. The fact from which this becomes evident is, that males, when engaged in coition, cease of themselves after emission, and are satisfied, but it is not so with females.” > — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana - [Previous: 2.1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.1.10) - [Next: 2.1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.1.12) - [Up: 2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.1) ## Translations (1) - [The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana~en-burton.2.1.p16) — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Jayamaṅgalā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana!jayamangala.9.19) — Yaśodhara Indrapada, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Text edited by Jean Fezas (with notes)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana*fezas.2.1.11) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Age of the Nandas and Mauryas](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1952.c12.s13.t7.1) — K.
