Publisher's Synopsis
The Kama Sutra of Vatsayana reached popular mass attention in the West in the 1960s. Readers were astounded by the elaborate and complicated sexual positions described and by the bold uncensored approach that it took towards the subject of sex. In particular the Kama Sutra addressed the importance of a woman's sexual happiness and clearly stated her sexual equality with men. The Woman's Kama Sutra focuses specifically on the issues of sensuality and sexuality detailed by Vatsayana but looks at them from a feminine perspective in ways that are relevant for the contemporary woman. Sensitive text and more than 40 specially commissioned illustrations of exciting lovemaking positions translate ancient wisdom into a modern and relevant context. The teachings of the Kama Sutra are described on pleasure, on sensuality and love, on sexual compatibility, on the importance of physical affection, on transcendental sexuality and the Kama Sutra arts of love.
