In traditional communities sex is still a taboo in spite of the phenomenal changes that have struck societies all over the world. The reason is the more the society opens up the more the insecurity it brings to surface. The traditional comfort and security of an arranged marriage fortified with age old norms, old ethical codes and mores of yesteryear give tremendous emotional and sexual security to males of the species and in many instances to the female to.  Since this is a male dominated world the rules are set by males. In western communities the fast paced commercialization ahs taken its toll on the relationships where in dating and sex dating are the outlets for sex search or romance as a substitute for traditional marriage.

In orient this aspect does not have much effect bounded by tradition and strict adherence to religion the sexual liberation has not taken place and women cannot express sexual desires or indulge in sex as way to appease their biological needs. They are entirely at the mercy of their husbands who themselves may be indulging in wanton sex. As you can see in any adult frindfinder sites or matchmaking services of the Orient it is dominated with adult personals of men. 

As a result sexual indulgence among women in the communities is a closed door affair and stealing a quick affair with a wanted male or masturbation or indulging in lesbian sex is common but risky as the consequence of being caught are terrible. Sexual liberation for women here is a far gone change-unlike in the west-and most of the women live a practical sterile life if their husbands are negligent.

With all the treatise on Kama Sutra and many other works on sexual practices in the Orient the women is still tied in a world where sex is a taboo or a male prerogative.
