Synopsis

Said to have been written sometime in the fourth century BC, the Kama Sutra by Vatsyayana is much more than a mere description of exotic sexual practices. It is an ancient classical work on the art of love. Written in the style of a scientific manual, the book offers a view of sexuality absolutely untinged by guilt, shame or the sense of sin. In this gorgeous edition, the male-female union is portrayed in all its splendour through the use of Indian miniatures and other paintings. Contents: Why Desire Is Desirable The Need for Preparation The Right Setting The Needs of a Woman The Embrace The Kiss The Use of Nails The Bite The Use of Violence The Act of Congress Nothing Is Taboo in Sex The Ending of Congress
