Ancient Forbidden Sex Secrets
From the Kama Sutra
 Description:
Vatsyayana,
one of the people responsible for collecting the original works into a version,
seems to have lived around the 4th century AD, at a time of cultural prosperity
known as the Gupta period. Vatsyayana claims the various major works of Kama Shastra
had become difficult to access, which is why he undertook to collect and summarize
them in Kama Sutra. The fact that Varaha Mihira in his Brihad Samhita (around
the 6th century AD) claims to have drawn his inspirations from the Kama Sutra,
and the Kama Sutra's mention of King Shatakarni Shatavahana who lived in the 1st
century BC gives the ranges for the possible production time of the Kama Sutra
between the 3rd and 1st Centuries. This ancient work is free from copyright and
now resides in the public domain.
We were looking for a great bonus for our Lesbian Sex Tips Ebook, and accidentally
stumbled upon a translation of the Kama Sutra, and we are so glad that we did.
While typesetting this work, we found it incredibly interesting and full of ideas
that have never changed for centuries. The book is also a unique glimpse into
the lives and cultures of people who are long gone from this Earth.
The Kama Sutra provides an amazing look at how being good at making love was so
very important back then. I guess there was a lot less to do after the sun was
down without electricity—no TV, no video games, no computers, just a lot
of time to sit around looking at each other, and we all know where THAT can lead!
The thing we found very interesting is
that there was no judgment about GLB people either! There are whole sections that
talk about the proper way for these folks to make love to the same sex--just very
matter-of-factly. Amazing how times have changed.
Of course we must all remember that many
of the teachings in this work are outdated. Some ideas could also be viewed as
incredibly sexist towards women: like the section on how to hit your partner during
intercourse, which we are guessing guess was like an ancient BDSM technique.
Still, there are surprising things in this work that are the same centuries later,
and the ways of love are pretty much the same. To enhance your reading, we’ve
thrown in over 69 illustrations of some of the more unusual techniques. Each couple
in our book has two different skin tones to make sure that you can see whose body
part is whose!
We hope you enjoy our illustrated version of the Kama Sutra!

From the Kama Sutra
| EDITORIAL
REVIEW:
Long dismissed as a sort of Sanskrit Joy of Sex, the Kama
Sutra , composed by
Vatsyayana in the fourth century B.C., explores sexuality
as an integral part of
human existence. Arguing that happiness and moral duty
(dharma) depend on
elaborate social ritual to satisfy the essential needs of
life, the Kama Sutra
describes the practices, rituals, and lore of the erotic
(kama) in human
relations, both heterosexual and homosexual. Noted Indiologist
Danielou provides a
fluent and literal translation of the entire Sanskrit original
with interpolated
extracts from the 12th-century commentary by Yashodara and
the modern Hindi
commentary by Devadatta Shastri.

REVIEW:
This
book was incredible. I felt a bit overwhelmed at first. So much writing and no
pictures to show you different positions, etc. But it was so informative I had
no idea how much I would learn from just one book. A definite must for anyone
who is slightly insecure or bored with tradition sexual intercourse. (is there
even such a thing any more?) I think that anyone who reads this book will definitely
become a better lover, on one level or another.

REVIEW:
This
book is overlooked by so many who desire to make love to their partners as though
they were the only person in the world. The positions offered are incredible and
although it may be uncomfortable to try some of them the ecstasy is well worth
any discomfort or embarrassment. Try them! You will never experience total release
from the world like lying in your lover's arm in one of these incredible positions!

REVIEW:
An
enlightening book for those who would like to explore the lifestyles of Indian
society in the time of Vatsyayana, and to consider the circumstances which conflicts
everyday moral values for the pleasure of the body. The Kama Sutra teaches ways
to utilize our bodies for sexual pleasure, or rather for the pleasure of our partners.
This book delves into the rituals, notions and positions of sexual partners, depending
on the situation, moods and overall effects that would like to be achieved during
intercourse. An excellent work both for the intellectual and pleasure seeker.

REVIEW:
This
book is a full translation of the ancient Indian text. Most individuals only think
of the Kama Sutra as being only about sex, which is what it is the most famous
for the world over. In fact, the Kama Sutra is a text that is about relationships.
It gives much insight into the views of the old Indian culture on marriage, and
romantic relationships in general. It's very insightful and is perfect for anyone
looking for information on the culture of much of India.
