Great Guide for Both a Visual and Textual Introduction to The Kama Sutra
Format: Hardcover
This book provides an easy to access overview of the ancient traditions of the Kama Sutra. This is not a sex book, nor is it pornographic. It outlines a way of living that is based on seeking pleasure, yet remaining in tune with god, nature and other living things, especially women. This book is illustrated with lots of full color images that date back centuries and depict eroticism in a tasteful way. People interested in learning the way of the Kama Sutra will find this book to be a great overview and introduction. It should be considered both an historical text as well as a guide to understanding, oneself and their connection to nature and humanity. Definitely buy this book if you are interested in living a life of fulfillment. ... show more

Defying Mainstream Obscurity
Format: Kindle
There are two types of people in this world. There are people who have heard of the Kama Sutra and people who have actually read it. It goes without saying that there are far more of the former in this world than the latter. Finding an electronic edition of such an ancient work that, by all reasonable standards, stands the test of time, easily warrants giving it five stars, especially since the translation quality of the text is of the highest order. Although I can understand why there are those who may not have the highest opinion of this edition because of the quality of the illustrations, I believe that regardless of their quality, because the text is all there, it impels the reader to work to understand what they are reading. Also, because this is an electronic edition, one would not need to worry about whatever physical defects might accompany a paperback or hardcover edition. In short, I highly recommend this book. ... show more

Not what I expected
Format: Hardcover
I knew the book wasn't all about sex, but it still was not what I expected it to be. Parts of it are actually very laughable, very ancient and silly. Many of the concepts in this book simply do not apply in today's world. However it is an interesting read and is a well put together book. I dont regret buying it. Check it out. ... show more

Haven’t gotten to read yet, but just out of the box, it’s high quality and well written. Illustrations are well colored and drawn.

Misleading Title and Poses not explained
Format: Hardcover
The title of the book is misleading. Do NOT expect a guidebook for the bedroom. Other than mentioning the existance of 64 positions, they never actually explain the positions or how to do them. This book is is more philosophical and cites archaic advice from times past that have no relevance to modern day society. Pros: Good quality paper and colorful artwork. Cons: No useful information on poses or positions. Very poor advice for modern times - there is no useful learnings you can apply to your life. Your skills will not improve. Very dry and boring read. This makes for a coffee table book at best to get guests intrigued on the topic. ... show more
