The rules in question are ethics in having sexual relations. The ethical view of sexuality from a Hindu perspective is a study that is closely related to relationship between husband and wife which is in accordance with the ethical values of sexuality contained in Hindu religious teachings. Religion teaches that this sexual relationship can be carried out after a legal marriage and is carried out in a conscious state, when a husband and wife want healthy offspring and a happy home life, then this sexual relationship can be carried out at a certain time according to the rules in sacred literature. One of these pieces of literature is Lontar Pameda Smara, which provides an explanation regarding instructions for adult swinging (good or bad days) in carrying out sexual relations in relation to husband and wife and the treatment of diseases caused by Pameda Smara. Lontar Pameda Smara will examine various aspects of sexual ethics with the hope of providing a broader and deeper view of human sexual relations, especially those who have entered the Grhastha Asrama period.
