Perhaps the book is 4-stars, not 5. My review is designed to dilute the previous one-star condemnation. I'm totally baffled as to what is "pornish" and "juvenile" about this book. (Read my comments on her review.)

To be honest, I'm an interested novice on the subject of Kama Sutra, and probably don't know a 4-star from a 5-star read. I hoped to upload photos from the book for you to make your own decisions, but they are "nude" and forbidden to upload.

The photos are beautifully erotic, full color, lots of light and shadow, upscale, minimally explicit: yes, breasts; yes, some pubic hair; yes -- couples enjoying intercourse. The book is about sex, after all.

Unlike some sex books with illustrations, the photos are clear in "what to do" with one's body, to achieve the pose. Each pose is rated with a degree of difficulty, and type: example "soft, gentle" vs. "deep, intense, hot".

Being a good lover is highly important to me, and I can learn a lot from this book. Is it the best one out there? I have no idea, but I'm delighted that I bought it. LA Enke

The Kama Sutra, everyone knows the name - a nearly 2,000 year old Sanskrit text on sexuality and relationships between the sexes. Now, authors Kirk (a journalist and illustrator) and Kamini Thomas (a social psychologist) have taken their knowledge on Eastern Spirituality and used it to bring the Kama Sutra up to date for the modern Westerner.

Now, this book is not merely a book of illustrated sexual positions, though that is a large part of the book. The book covers seduction, setting the mood, trust, romance, and so much more. Read this book and you will learn about your own and your partner's bodies, and how to add true adroitness to your lovemaking. This is the book for those who want to not just make love, but make it expertly.

(Review of The Modern Kama Sutra: The Ultimate Guide to the Secrets of Erotic Pleasure)

A great way to keep the fun going in a 25 year old romance, we just Pick a position a week, and run with it.

I absolutely love this book. 1) It is informative and very easy to understand. 2) It is very descriptive and the pictures that accompany the descriptions really do help. 3) While some may deem it pornographic, obviously you would not give it to a child, it is something about sex that helps in this modern world. I can say this though I cannot wait to really try this and implement it with my partner.

Good book. The pictures aren't awful at all. They definitely give a clear idea of what you're supposed to be trying. I think that it's fun & definitely has brought a playful element to our seven-year marriage. Overall, I like it. Some reviewers said the positions are variations of the same and I'd have to agree. However, there are some interesting explanations on the kama sutra theory, like elephant women or deer women (I think?) etc. I'd never though about positions that way & it's helped us gravitate towards positions that are better suited for us. So, that makes this fun & informative. Having said that, though, it means that some of the positions in the book are not suited for us as well as the variations on those positions.

This is a simple to understand, informative book that has very tasteful, sensual photographs, and nice excerpts from the original Karma Surta. I highly recommend it.

This book has ample pictures and a good overview of basic positions, as well as chapters instructive on other Kama Sutra basics (such as maintaining eye contact and linking your breathing better). Great starter book for those new to the subject and looking for more than just a lesson on intercourse...

I recently recieved this as a gift from my bachelorette party. I have gone through it as I am so excited to get to read it with the hubby to be who comes home from his deployment soon. I am quite impressed with the reading, the tasteful nature of the book and ultimately I find it to be an erotic book without bordering on what someone reviewed as being pornish and juevenile. I look forward to the practical use.

Fantastic book and the mrs. loves it. I gave it as a gift and she couldnt be-- WE couldnt be happier!
The pictures are incredibly tasteful & tasteful, and the content is much more than I expected. Its much more than just a bunch of sex positions. We thanks you tons.

I bought this at Barnes & Noble while they were having a sale. It is a wonderfully written and illustrated book to help along the journey to pleasure with your partner.
