[Kama—is the enjoyment of appropriate objects by the five senses of hearing, feeling, seeing, tasting and smelling, assisted by the mind together with the soul. The ingredient in this is a peculiar contact between the organ of sense and its object, and the consciousness of pleasure which arises from that contact is called Kama.]
“Man should study the Kama Sutra and the arts and sciences subordinate thereto…Even young maids should study this Kama Sutra along with its arts and sciences before marriage, and after it they should continue to do so with the consent of their husbands.”
“Her teacher should be one of the following persons—the daughter of a nurse brought up with her and already married, or a female friend who can be trusted in everything, or the sister of her mother (i.e. her aunt), or an old female servant, or a female beggar who may have formerly lived in the family, or her own sister, who can always be trusted.”
“A public woman, endowed with a good disposition, beauty and other winning qualities, and also versed in [these] arts, obtains the name of Ganika, or public woman of high quality, and receives a seat of honour in an assemblage of men. She is, moreover, always respected by the king, and praised by learned men, and her favour being sought for by all, she becomes an object of universal regard.”
“The daughter of a king too, as well as a daughter of a minister, being learned in the…arts, can make their husbands favourable to them, even though these may have thousands of other wives besides themselves.”
“And in the same manner, if a wife becomes separated from her husband, and falls into distress, she can support herself easily, even in a foreign country, by means of her knowledge of these arts.”
“Even the bare knowledge of them gives attractiveness to a woman, though the practice of them may be only possible or otherwise according to the circumstances of each case.”
“A man who is versed in these arts, who is loquacious and acquainted with the arts of gallantry, gains very soon the hearts of women, even though he is only acquainted with them for a short time.”
After all of this fanfare about the arts to be learned and employed in the art of seduction, these are the arts to be studied, together with the Kama Sutra:

Playing a game which consists in repeating verses—as one person finishes, another person has to commence at once, repeating another verse, beginning with the same letter with which the last’s speaker’s verse ended; whoever fails to repeat is considered to have lost and to be subject to a forfeit or stake of some kind
10. The art of mimicry or imitation

There are many other such exercises.
