Among the seven capital sins, there is one: lust.
Of course there is a big difference between romantic love and lust. The first one focuses on the aesthetic pleasure. The second one on the genital pleasure.
As British poet John Keats said, Beauty is truth and truth is beauty. That's how Romance is created: through the contemplation of beauty.
When there is no beauty within the sexual relation, there is lust.
So I think that from a Christian standpoint, Kama Sutra is considered lust. Because those positions are not beautiful, if seen from outside. They are squalid and animalistic. I can't help it: I think the only missionary position is beautiful and romantic, if seen from the outside.
