I was debating whether or not to give this 4 stars, but as you can see, i went with 5. I was going to give it 4 stars because of boredom. I thought some of it was boring because of all the background info it gave from the past, but it is a kama sutra book, so it does make sense, which is y i gave it 5 stars. All of the pictures are colored, and theyre a pretty decent size which helps. It really goes into detail, some of the bites are relatively confusing though. I think I am going to stay away from leaving fancy teeth marks :).

Good item to buy.

This book is in excellent taste, which helps both to quell any trepidation and to engross the reader in the subject matter. The author explains at the outset that this book is about "supercharged" love making with a very special partner, not just about killer sex. She elaborates on more than one occassion that it is the trust between the two partners and the desire to gratify the other person that makes all the difference.

She does an excellent job of describing positions and techniues (with tasteful photos included) and providing historical notes or informational references where appropriate. She also lets you know when a position is a variation on the Kama Sutra position and why (generally it's a matter of dexterity).

Even if you figure out you're not "a complete idiot" and actually know and use many of the positions and techniques, this book is still a wonderful way to "remember" the lovingness of your relationship and that being intimate doesn't only refer to sexual, or even physical, activity. Although this book describes most of the positions in the Kama Sutra (and the background on each), it is as much a book about being a loving "mate" and a "suductress/suducer" as it is about sexual positions.

I HIGHLY recommend this book!

If you want soft porn and not much else this book is for you. If you're looking for a genuine Kama Sutra, keep looking as this is not the place to spend your money.

I found this book to be very nicely done. I loved the way the models' lower intimate parts were kept discretely out of sight, which made me appreciate the tastefulness of the images even more...no porn here:) I also appreciated the explanations behind the different positions and the fact that the book was simply and honestly written for anyone to understand. Quite helpful for those of us who are not yet married, but still want to have some good ideas for when that special time comes.

The authors of this book are apparently experts, and it really shows. The pictures are very helpful, but not overwhelming. The straightforward way the book is written brings the Kama Sutra to the masses. Well written and entertaining. In addition, to this helpful tome, I would also recommend Five Minutes to Orgasm Every Time You Make Love: Female Orgasm Made Simple, which specifically addresses oral sex between couples. One side of the flip over book is all about cunnilingus; then, flip it over and the other side is all about fellatio. These two books would make a great duo.
