About this title: In the beginning, the Lord of Beings created men and women... And Vatsyayana, poet, esthete and lover thought they should have some instruction for doing what they like to do best. Hence the Kama Sutra, the ancient manual of love, with descriptions ranging from the ninety-nine positions for sex, to instructions for hitting your lover in moments of passion and the appropriate sound to make with each swat, all the way to securing a wife.

"People write books and talk about "Kama Sutra This" and "Kama Sutra That." A lot of people mispronounce the name "Karma Sutra." It is my impression that most of what is out there is trash, utterly unrelated to this classic text. This is the real Kama Sutra, and I highly recommend it."
"A lot of text instead of instructional photos. But the interactive pop-ups aid in that area. Beautifully done and well constructed pop-ups...except the first one in my used copy is broken. :( Expect to learn some Indian culture."
"Fallocentric classic on how to woe a woman, providing interesting insights into traditional roles of men and women in India. Some stuff still works, other stuff's outdated in courting."
