Get a little more passionate with rains this season…
“Oo Sajna Barkha bahar aayi, ras ki fuhaar laayi”
“Rimjhim gire saawan, sulag sulag jaaye man”
“Tip- tip barsa paani, paani ne aag lagayi”
These and many more songs have been the epitome of rain and romance for ages. The association of romance, passion, and love and its portrayal has been a great way of letting the world know that rain is not just a season it has a lot more to it.
Imagine dawn of summer with the scorching heat and temperature to melt anything, suddenly the sky gets filled with dark clouds and the first few drops of rain as they touch the earth and the earthly things it refreshes everything. The most amazing fragrance of petrichor fills the world and ignites passion by striking the senses of the beings.
Since the beginning of the time, rain has been said to be the season of passion and mating. Most of the living creatures on the earth find it as the perfect season to propagate. And that is why not only Bollywood but even the various ancient scriptures have mentioned rain and its elements to ignite the passion between lovers.
Even Kamasutra, the guide of erotic pleasures has a beautiful mention of the prominence of the rain and its elements. Petrichor, the fragrance of the first rain on the earth is said to be one of the most effective fragrances to woo or grab the attention of your partner. This fragrance was then called ‘Khus’ or ‘MittiAtar’.
“Khus is literally the fragrance of the first rains falling on scorching hot soil. It is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Khus was applied to slightly wet hair very early in the morning before it was rolled up into a bun. Over the course of the day the perfume would seep into the hair, fuse with the perspiration and completely saturate the scalp so that by evening when you opened your hair, you were a walking cloud of erotic promise- smelling of sun-baked earth and fresh rain,” mentioned in ‘The Art of Seduction by Dr. Seema Anand’.
As mentioned earlier from calling out your beloved in the first rain to passing on the message for passionate lovemaking to your partner the Bollywood rain songs have always been used and even now have a great impact on people and their love lives. Even as we are getting technical with our texts even it has emoji of rain droplets to show orgasm.
Even the passionate scenes have thunderstorms, lightning, or heavy rains falling on the glass of windows and doors as the background to show passionate lovemaking. It’s not just for the youths making love but even in the recent movies like ‘Badhai Ho’ has portrayed rain in the background to show the lovemaking between Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao.
Rains is said to be the best mating season as it is considered that it has a great impact on a human body to stimulate the sensitive nerves and play a great role in arousal. As per Kamasutra, it was believed that on rainy afternoons the nerves at the waist are the most sensitive of all.
And I guess that is from where Bollywood has got most of the naughty ideas where the female protagonist in the scenes give a glimpse of her navel to the partner amidst the rains to show how aroused she is and is looking forward for a phenomenal love-making session.
So next time when it rains and you think that you are getting in some naughty mood then you can easily blame it on the droplets from heaven pouring to ignite your passionate being. And as the clouds start to gather in the sky and you are at work; so apart from the chai and pakoras, you should know it’s the love and the idea of embracing your partner in your arms is what is driving you to leave everything behind and be there with your darling.
So, this rainy season as the rain pour to quench the thirst of lady earth, you should also grab your lady and shower her with the rain of ultimate love.
