Product Description
The Kama Sutra can open up a world of enchantment, bliss, and sensation to those who understand its teachings. One of the oldest and most famous works of eroticism ever written, this undeniably frank and beautifully illustrated book offers instruction in the "science of pleasure." Modern readers will take delight in a new, wonderfully readable version that includes up-to-date commentary on the text's meaning (including the famous 64 doctrines of pleasure) and breathtaking traditional Indian art in every spread. More than just a manual of sexual positions, it covers courtship and marriage as well, poetically teaching lovers how to care for themselves and their homes, the proper way of life, erotic techniques, different sexual characteristics, what to do when passion take over, how to increase sexual attraction, and far more. A treat for the eye and stimulation for the senses and mind.

Good in a cultural perspective August 15, 2001 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book seemed more informative in the Indian culture that included marriage and relations. It translated the text parts of the Kama Sutra as well as pictures. Except the text that it translated has absolutely nothing to do with the pictures. In short, the pictures although not of the orginal Indian sculptures, are good where the text is not. It does not give directions to how to obtain the positions, just fact. Historically and culturally though, the book is good.
