Review
"What distinguishes the couple's efforts from the plethora of books on the subject of Eastern eroticism are their depth of research and their breadth of presentation. Opulent cocktailable sexbiggies." (The Village Voice)
"Monumentally researched, comprehensively detailed, and profusely illustrated. . . . Sexual Secrets is a timely, well-rounded masterpiece. This reviewer's reaction can be summed up in two words: BUY IT!" (Yoga Journal)
"For twenty years Sexual Secrets has been the spiritual person's guide to celestial copulation. Flesh meets faith inside this book and each is the better for it." (ForeWord)

"For twenty years Sexual Secrets has been the spiritual person's guide to celestial copulation. Flesh meets faith inside this book and each is the better for it." (ForeWord, October 1999)

"A massive compendium, furnishing just about everything you always wanted to know." (The Book Reader)
