About this ebook
The Kama Sutra, is an ancient Indian text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by the Indian scholar Vatsyayana. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sex. Kāma means sensual or sexual pleasure, and sūtra are the guidlines of yoga, the word itself means thread in Sanskrit.
The Kama Sutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra). Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva's doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The collection of Indian "wisdom" regarding kama, sensual pleasure. These days there is the myth of the Kama Sutra as if it is one big book of sex positions; in reality, there are seven parts of the Kama Sutra, and only the first two provide any such information. The rest of the book discusses the means by which one might obtain a wife, perhaps multiple wives, to carry on affairs, the lives of courtesans and wisdom for them, and so on. It is interesting to note how highly favored the Kama Sutra is in our modern society despite its rampant chauvinism. Of value to modern Westerners might be the description of the different types of women and the "sixty-four arts" of a well-rounded romantic person, but that's about it. Much can be gained from the book about the history and culture of India. Odds are, it's not what you're expecting it to be.Kindle version: can't complain much in view of the price; some formatting issues, but at least the notes point to their proper places.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is more of a glimpse into the cultrual attitudes towards sexuality more than a sex manual. Intriguing, if not always intereting.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The book is an ancient text related to sex and personal relationships. It is somewhat interesting but much of it relates to Indian caste systems, harems, and relations of the king. The potions are inevitably useless and much of the advice is useless.
