Drukpa Kunley's Sutra of Sex

 

'In Sanskrit: Nga'i mje sha-ra-ra!In Tibetan: Bu-mo'i stu-la shu-ru-ru!This is the discourse on mundane pleasure.

'The virgin finds pleasure in her rising desire,The young tiger finds pleasure in his consummation,The old man finds pleasure in his fertile memory:  That is the teaching on the Three Pleasures.The bed is the workshop of sex,

 And should be wide and comfortable;The knee is the messenger of sex,

 And should be sent up in advance;The arm is the handle of sex,

 And it should clasp her tightly;The vagina is a glutton for sex,

 And should be sated again and again:  That is the teaching upon Necessity.It is taboo to make love to a married woman,

It is taboo to make love to a girl under ten,It is taboo to make love to a menstruating womanOr a woman under a vow of celibacy:  That is the teaching on the Three Taboos.Hunger is the mark of an empty stomach,

 A large penis is the mark of an idiot,Passionate lust is the mark of a woman:  That is the teaching on the Three Marks.The impotent man has little imagination,Bastards have little virtue,The rich have little generosity:  That is the teaching on the Three Deficiencies.

 A Lama's joy is a gift,

 A politician's joy is flattery, A woman's joy is her lover:  That is the teaching on the Three Joys.Sinners hate the pious and devout,The rich hate loose spendthrifts,Wives hate their husbands' mistresses:  That is the teaching on the Three Hates.For blessing worship the Lama,For power worship the Deity,For efficiency worship the Reality Protectors:  This is the teaching on the Three Objects of Worship.Pay no respect to mean Lamas,Pay no respect to immoral monks,Pay no respect to dogs, crows or women:

  That is the teaching on the Three Rejects.The Discipline's purpose is to calm and pacify,The Vow to serve others is to free from self-will,The Tantra's purpose is to teach unity of polarity:  That is the teaching on the Three Vehicles.The starving beggar has no happiness,The irreligious have no divinity,The wanderer has no bonds or commitment:  That is the teaching on the Three Lacks.He who is without honesty has a dry mouth,He who is without spirituality makes no offering,He who is without courage does not make a general:  That is the teaching on the Three Zeros.The sign of a rich man is a tight fist,The sign of an old man is a tight mind,The sign of a nun is a tight vagina:

That is the teaching on the Three Constrictions.The fast talker inserts himself into the centre of a crowd,Monastic wealth inserts itself into the monks' stomachs,Thick penises insert themselves into young girls:

  That is the teaching on the Three Insertions.The mind of a Bodhisattva is smooth,The talk of self-seekers is smoother,But the thighs of a virgin are smoother than silk:  That is the teaching on the Three Smooth Things.Immoral monks have thin skirts,Widows and spinsters have thin stomachs and clothes,Fields without manure bear thin crops:  That is the teaching on the Three Thin Things.Kunley never tires of girls,Monks never tire of wealth,Girls never tire of sex:  That is the teaching on the Three Indefatigables.

 Although mind is clear, one needs a Lama; Although a lamp burns brightly, it still needs oil; Although Mind is self-evident, it needs recognition:  That is the teaching on the Three Needs.'

[From The Divine Madman pp.108-10]
