       ‘When a woman in a lonely place bends down, as if to pick up something and pierces, as it were, a man sitting or standing with her breasts, and the man in return takes hold of them, it is called a “piercing embrace”.’

       Kama Sutra

      The Head

       ‘“Kamavatansakeshagrahana” or “holding the crest hair of love” is when, during the act of copulation, the husband holds with both hands his wife’s hair above her ears, whilst she does the same thing to him, and both exchange frequent kisses upon the mouth.’

       Ananga Ranga

      Being closest to heaven, the head is deemed a sacred part of our bodies with the hair symbolizing strength and energy. Lockets of hair have long been exchanged between lovers as mementoes. And in some religions a woman’s hair is kept covered, only to be revealed in private and to her husband. Hindus believed that simply by loosening her serpentine locks, the goddess Kali could unleash thunderstorms and tempests, which could only be quelled if she bound up her hair again. Similarly, Shiva’s unkempt tresses were representative of wild abandon and universal sexual energy.
