कथम् ? उपायवैलक्ष्यं तु सर्गात् । कर्ता हि पुरुषोऽधिकरणं युवतिः । अन्यथा हि कर्ता क्रियां प्रतिपद्यतेऽन्यथा चाधारः । तस्माच्चोपायवैलक्षण्यात् सर्गादभिमानवैलक्षण्यमपि भवति। अभियोक्ताहमिति पुरुषोऽनुरज्यते । अभियुक्ताहमनेनेति युवतिरिति वात्स्यायनः ॥ २६ ॥

sanskrit

Vatsyayana does not believe that there is any difference in the pleasure itself. Difference of sex is a fact of birth. It is generally admitted that the man is active and the woman passive. The man's action is therefore different to the woman's. The man thinks that he is enjoying the woman, while the woman thinks that the man is enjoying her. There is thus a difference in attitude and experience, but not in enjoyment.
