Sex In Literature
The book brings various interesting plots of the story writer about sex and sexual taboos of Nepalese society
By A CORRESPONDENT
Despite the process of modernization and openness, Nepali society is yet to tackle issues like sex as it is regarded as a taboo subject. Even many book stores do not display stories regarding sex and other human affairs publicly.

Of late, the situation has been gradually changing. Although Nepali literature has some very finest stories written in the past analyzing human psychology on the human relations, many people don’t understand it. Writing stories describing human relations and love affairs require study as well as dedication. Even some books which are available in the market are not as per the standard of other literatures.
There is a misconception that pornography and sexual literature have similar standard. Sex related literature explains the complicated human relations and inner desire with its complex phenomenon.
Nepali literature has a long history but literature on love affairs, human relations on the basis of sexual relation is very rare. Although some prominent authors have contributed to sexual related literature, they are still very few.
Thanks to the efforts of Vani Publication, some very interesting short stories books are now available in the market. “Many stories based on sexual relations of people have already been written in Nepali society but most of those stories are either too much vulgar or of low quality,” said editor Vaukaji.
The book consists of 27 stories written by various prominent story writers. Divided into two parts, there are stories related to erotic and motivational under non-pornographic sections. All the stories are quite interesting as well as situational in their expressions.
As stories are written by explaining human nature and human relations, which are full of romance, tragedy, pain and suffering, no writer can ignore the part of love affairs in human society. Nepal’s sexual literature has a very long history but most of the past stories are either completely pornographic or vulgar or just motivational.
This is the first kind of book, which includes all kinds of stories. Story writer Lava Gaunle has a very interesting plot about how suddenly two human beings of opposite sex are involved in affairs. In his story Achanak (Sudden) Gaunle has carefully described the situation of human affairs.
Vijaya Chalise’s Draupadi Ko Niyati elaborates events showing the motivational non-pornographic way of story telling. In his story Chalise has carefully drawn human desire and affections related to sex. The words and craftsmanship are interesting.
In another story, U Testo Po Rahechha (he is like that), writer Elya Bhattarai described the nature of man and his uncontrolled desire to have a relation with women. Her episode shows how one is attracted unknowingly to opposite sex. Trishna Rajya Shree Kunwar has her own way of writing story on motivational basis. In her story Swikriti ( Permission), she explains how compromise on human affairs is made when the relations reach at climax.
Story writers like Raj Kumar Thapa, Banmali Nirakar, Mandira Koirala, Abiral Staphit, Dhruba Madhukarmi, Ratna Prajapati and Rajesh Babu Shrestha have written very interesting plots explaining the sexual desire of human beings. In his story titled Double Bed, writer Aviral Staphit draws a very interesting psychological plot to show inner desire of human being.
Based in eastern town of Biratnagar, Vani Publication has made enormous contribution to support Nepalese literature. This is what one can see in this book.
