Abstract: The Kama Sutra is a manual for leading a balanced and contented life, even though it is frequently misinterpreted as just an erotic text. This study examines its deeper messages regarding ethics, relationships, and well-being by approaching its themes from a moral-philosophical perspective. The study indicates the relevance of the Kama Sutra in modern society through qualitative research, which includes interviews with married couples across two generations – Gen Z and Millennials. It emphasizes its lessons on respect, love, emotional intelligence, and understanding one another—values that are still crucial in today's world. By dispelling myths, this study clarifies how the Kama Sutra can support ethical considerations of human connection and personal development.
