Summary: it's not just sexual positions, it's history and culture too
Comment: a friend gave this book to me as a gift. i must admit that it wasn't quite what i expected - which was a blow-by-blow account of various sexual positions. first of all, this book has no drawings whatsoever! and i didn't expect to find that there were chapters dealing with seduction, mistresses, love potions, etc...i still found it a good book to read inspite of my initial 'disappointment'. it does live up to its (ill?) repute as a manual of sexual instruction, and it's translator, going by the short info given on him, appears to know whereof he speaks, what with his credentials as a Hindu scholar. leave your biases behind and pick up the book, you'll be glad you did. i wouldn't recommend trying the exotic love potions though! as for sex preferably not being learned from a book, i have this to say...of course no book on sexual instruction should be your bible to love-making, but we read up on chess, cooking, the news, and a whole range of other topics, so why not sex? a great many of us are a lot more ignorant than we think we are, and it's not always feasible to ask around, especially since i personally will not divulge any tricks i might have learned from my lover's bed, out of respect for our privacy.

Summary: Fantastic version of the Kama Sutra for Modern Times
Comment: An enlightening book for those who would like to explore the lifestyles of Indian society in the time of Vatsyayana, and to consider the circumstances which conflicts everyday moral values for the pleasure of the body. The Kama Sutra teaches ways to utilize our bodies for sexual pleasure, or rather for the pleasure of our partners. This book delves into the rituals, notions and positions of sexual partners, depending on the situation, moods and overall effects that would like to be achieved during intercourse. An excellent work both for the intellectual and pleasure seeker.

Summary: Not the Western notion of Kama Sutra
Comment: Heed this warning: This is not the book to buy if you are looking for sexual positions to try out tonight!!! This is a classic text that is for those interested in the true Kama Sutra text. This is a book of sexuality as a way of life, a text written in the BC era by Vatsyayana. If you're bored by that sentence, you will be bored by this book. If you like history, or theology, check it out.
At times, the book can be shocking in its dated practices of chauvinism and occasional violence. Again, this is a translation of an ancient Sanskrit text, not the sex column in Cosmo magazine.
