Striking, scratching, and other things may also be done during this kind of congress.  

The Auparishtaka is practiced also by unchaste and wanton women, female attendants and serving maids i.e. those who are not married to anybody, but who live by shampooing.    

The Acharyas (i.e. ancient and venerable authors) are of the opinion  that this Auparishtaka is the work of a dog and not a man, because it is a low practice, and opposed to the orders of the Holy Writ, and because the man himself suffers by bringing his lingam into contact with the mouth of eunuchs and women.  But Vatsyayana says that the orders of the Holy Writ do not affect those who resort to courtesans, and the law only prohibits the practice of the Auparishtaka with married women.  As regards the injury to the male, that can be easily remedied.   

The male servants of some men carry on the mouth congress with their masters.  It is also practiced by some citizens who know each other well, among themselves.  Some women of the harem, when they are amorous do the acts of the mouth on the yonis of one another, and some men do the same thing with women.  The way of doing this (i.e. of kissing the yoni) should be known from kissing the mouth.  When a man and woman lie down in an inverted order i.e. with the head of the one towards the feet of the other, and carry on this congress, it is called the ‘congress of crow’.  

For the sake of such things, courtesans abandon men possessed of good qualities, liberal and clever, and become attached to low persons, such as slaves and elephant drivers.  The Auparishtaka, or mouth congress, should never be done by a learned Brahman, by a minister that carries on the business of a state, or by a man of good reputation, because though the practice is allowed by the Shastras, there is no reason why it should be carried on, and need only be practiced in particular cases.  As for instance, the taste, and the strength, and digestive qualities of the flesh of dogs are mentioned in works on medicine, but it does not therefore follow, that it should be eaten by the wise.  In the same way, there are some men, some places and some times, with respect to which these practices can be made use of.  A man should therefore pay regard to the place, to the time, and to the practice that is to be carried out, as also as to whether it is agreeable to his nature and to himself, and then he may or may not practice these things according to circumstances.  But after all, these things being done secretly, and the mind of the man being fickle, how can it be known what any person will do at any particular time and for any particular.?
