The Kama Sutra, 300 AD

Now, a girl always shows her love by outward signs and actions such as the following: under some pretext or other she shows her limbs to him, delights to be in his company for a long time, does not want to go from the place where he is, under some pretext or other she makes him look at different things, narrates to him tales and stories very slowly so that she may continue conversing with him for a long time.

She should also be beautiful, of a good disposition, with lucky marks on her body, and with good hair, nails, teeth, ears, eyes and breasts, neither more nor less than they ought to be.

*

The following women are not to be enjoyed:

A woman who is a female friend
One who has played with you in the dust, that is, in childhood

On Kissing

A wager may be laid as to which will get hold of the lips of the other first. If the woman loses, she should pretend to cry, should keep her lover off by shaking her hands and turn away from him and dispute with him, saying 'let another wager be laid'. If she loses this a second time, she should appear deeply distressed, and when her lover is off his guard or asleep, she should get hold of his lower lip, and hold it in her teeth, so that it should not slip away; and then she should laugh, make a loud noise, deride him, dance about, and say whatever she likes in a joking way, moving her eyebrows, and rolling her eyes. Such are the wagers and quarrels as far as kissing is concerned.

*

The marks of the nails should not be made on married women, but particular kinds of marks may be made on their private parts for the remembrance and increase of love.

Even when a stranger sees at a distance a young woman with the marks of nails on her breast, he is filled with love and rspect fro her.

[He should say] I shall impress marks of my teeth and nails on your lips and breasts, and then make similar marks on my own body, and shall tell my friends that you did them. What will you say then?
