At the time the Kama Sutra was known pretty universally as "the sex positions book". Here's a small insight into the attitude toward that book in the late 90s-early 2000s. Check out the descriptions. "The classic love-making manual". "Sexual gratification remains fundamental". "Illustrates all 64 sexual postures". "The ancient art of seduction". I don't know how they view it in India, but Americans knew it for exactly one thing.

I don't discount the possibility of them making an at the time obscure reference to loving games or whatever, but that would be like calling your site "The Family Guy" and expecting people to interpret that as a statement that you're a guy writing about family life. You have to know your audience and how they'll interpret things. So either they were making a sex joke or were making an extraordinarily poorly thought out reference to Indian culture.
