as graphic as guides will go

this book is really graphic with lovers in the nude doing the sex act in various positions not only from the kama sutra but also from the perfumed garden and other much-touted classic sex manuals from long ago. let me say that i have read alain danielou's translation of the kama sutra and also a paperback version of the perfumed garden (from bantam doubleday? written by sir richard burton if i remember right...he also has a kama sutra translation i think). those two books were excellent in their own right, not really as sex manuals per se, they are purely text, no illlustrations to help you make sense of positions, but with lots of insights given to their culture and how sex was cultivated in those days. anne hooper gives you the nitty-gritty of positions not only from kama sutra but from the perfumed garden, ananda ranga, etc as well. if what you really want to do is learn how to get down and try new sexual positions, this book shows you how. the pictures are tasteful and didn't particularly offend my sensibilities. if you have an appetite for sexual experimentation, then by all means go ahead and try this book. i don't know if experienced people will really benefit though, being somewhat of a novice myself, but i think this book makes fun reading anyway! at the very least you'd know what to call the various positions you've tried before....

Handicapped people like sex too!

My wife has been disabled with cerebral palsy since birth. Since she has little control of her legs and so forth, sexual positions are somewhat difficult for her to achieve- especially those that require an acrobatics training course. This book showed both my wife and I some interesting variations on positions that we hadn't even thought of yet. Plus, it's easier to read than the original Kama Sutra. The illustrations showed us exactly what we needed to do to try out more positions. Needless to say, it has spiced up our sex lives GREATLY! I recommend it to everyone, handicapped or not!

If you're in a relationship, this book is a must have.

It's really very simple. We all owe it to our lover to be the best lover we can. Anything we can do to move us further along the road of being the best lovers we can be is definitely something worthwhile. We owe it to ourselves, our lover, and our life to make every moment the fullest it can be. This book can certainly help, especially for novice lovers or those caught in a routine. I recommend this book without hesitation, though I likely wouldn't leave it on the coffee table for the kids.

SUPERIOR WRITING and READING!

WOW!!I have been a firm believer in the methods and practices of the Kama Sutra for 15 years! I had the privilege and PLEASURE of learning the techniques first hand from a master, while living in Indian. I have been trying to explain the wonderful experience for years to others. All the books I've read don't really explain techiques very well, until now. I was VERY impressed with the easy wording and wonderfully detailed photographs. Ms. Hooper really took the time to explain how and why the positions are done and the benefit you and your partner(s) can get from them. I've bought several books for my friends and family. They have much happier and healthier sex lives since learning about the art of the Kama Sutra, many are buying the book for thier friends an family. A great thing should be shared by all! Bravo, Bravo Ms. Hopper! Wonderful job.

"A Great Lesson in the Art of Lovemaking"

This is a great book for anyone interested in getting the most out of sex. Lessons in massage and moodsetting combined with A LOT of sexual positions make this one of the best books of its kind. Use as a guide to spice up your sex life or to just have fun with your partner. Lots of color pictures show by example and simplify the complexity of the average Kama Sutra books. Why read 500+ pages of a complex and vague interpretation when you can browse Hooper's 200 page guide that includes topics not even touched in Kama Sutra books. A must have for any couple. I love it.
