This temple was constructed in a way that worked inward. It's not a "sex temple" but depicts everyday mundane life on the outside and getting more subtle as you travel inward.
From the link:
"Erotic imagery is very common in the Temples of Khajuraho. Sculptures of celestial nymphs with broad hips, heavy breasts and languishing eyes are commonly found in the Kandariya Mahadeva and Vishwanath Temple. These sculptures are believed to reflect the idea of female beauty and fertility. Other scenes depicted on the walls of the temples are a part of the Narathara (the human life cycle) signifying how sexual procreation and kama are an essential aspect of human life."

Yeah, this is cool as hell.
Couldn’t imagine how long it took to chisel out those figures, especially multiple times over.
