The legendary Kama Sutra has long intrigued me but my attempts to read it have always proved unenlightening, sometimes dull, and often confusing. In my nearly 50 years, I have also tried reading various books that professed to explain the Kama Sutra for those of us bewildered by it. Those books either over-simplified or added new complexities! But this book -- maybe because it's written for "idiots!" -- finally, for me, provides the kind of answers I've been craving. First, it is not a fat or heavy book, so I didn't feel like it would be the equivalent of some sort of academic tome. The chapters are broken down into sensible categories that I understood rather than approached with trepidation. Bottom line: this book is written in a style that's modern but preserves the ancient wisdom of many of the practices. I appreciated that because there is so much beauty in the Kama Sutra, and these authors respect that at all times. This book has truly demystified the Kama Sutra for me -- and given me information I am eager to try with my wife (who I am encouraging to read it next!). If you have a choice in Kama Sutra books, absolutely choose this one. It is comprehensive but not overwhelming, clear concise, beautiful, and never condescending.

Not a translation but a cultural transposition, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Supercharged Kama Sutra is the best achievement I’ve seen in appropriating the insights of this ancient, aristocratic sexual manual for the needs and interests of contemporary Western readers. Link and Copeland’s Kama Sutra unpacks the significance of the traditional work and its terminology, complemented with outstanding photo illustrations of a loving, sensual couple. In addition to the usual “Idiot’s Guide” summaries of key information, the sidebars (“Love Bites”) comprise witty, entertaining, and value-added insight. An inspiring, wonderful treasury!

Everything for the eyes and mind. Very nice book, supercharged with very nice color photos that show it all. This is actually a guide to all of sexuality that goes much farther than the Kama Sutra love positions. It takes you all through the field of sexuality (versus Kama-Sutra) taking you by the hand (like if you were an idiot - most of us still are anyway in that matter) and showing you from A to Z how a real sexual life is to be lived without inhibitions for your greatest benefit. Although this book is aimed at the practice of the love positions, it is also well documented by interesting theoric facts and grounded in the Indian Eastern philosophy - introduction is very interesting in that regard. Well written and beautifully illustrated. All-star book !

This is THE BOOK for me!!! Yeah! At last I found a book that is perfect for me. It fits like a glove... Yes, I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT when tenderly, sex with love, the REAL Kama Sutra are the name of the game. I'm a man of war, not a man of peace; I'm a warrior, not a lover, and this way of life, earning a life fightin' other men wars, devastated my relationships. After all that time I know I'm a complete idiot, a fool. But, hey, even an idiot like me can change his mind, only if I could know how...

And now I KNOW! It is ALL inside this fine book, fun to read and very readable. All that wrong things I've done in the past (that I didn't knew're wrong) are forever locked in the past. Well, alt. I'm not young anymore, I'm sure now I can get a good, intense, kind marriage like I never experienced, and all that thanks to this GREAT book. What are you waiting for? Order it now, and start reading it and found how better your life can be!

“This is a wonderful book I have ever read. It explains in detail about each pose. It also details minute information which lot of us might not know. If you haven’t read this book you are really missing the intricacies of sex.”

“This book is absolutely awesome. I am only a couple of chapters into it as now, but I can tell it's great. I leafed through it and I looked at the pictures. The photos are tasteful, and the couple is nice looking. There's a lot of stuff in it that I didn't know, so I know that I will be learning a thing or two from it. From all the Kama Sutra books, this one I think is the best. Years ago I tried to read the Danielou version (the complete one), but come on, who can read that one? This one cuts to the chase and in addition offers little ‘nuggets’ of information about Indian society and their culture. I absolutely recommend it!”

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK! I am going to buy a copy for all my married girlfriends next Christmas! The photos are very sweet and not raunchy. The text is so easy to read and understand. Try it you'll love it!

“This is a good book with a lot of details and instructions. I bought it for some new ideas. There are some, but most of the positions I have already done. Definitely a must buy for those looking to spice things up. My husband enjoyed looking at it with me ;)”

This is a well written guide that stays true to the original Kama Sutra while delivering its wisdom in easy-to-understand prose. The writing is clear and humorous, the photos and illustrations are explicit but tasteful, and the book is well organized. This is a quality book, and I would recommend it as an excellent guide for beginners or even moderately experienced lovers who want to broaden their love lives.

Chapter 2: That Was Then, This Is Now

Vatsyayana not only explained why sex was essentially good, he also described how to make it better through study and practice. Because it takes two to tango, he emphasized the importance of physically and emotionally matched partners. And, for those who are mismatched in some way, he provided instructions for bringing just about everything into harmonious alignment. Although he wrote so long ago, you'll find much of his advice astoundingly relevant for today's lovers.

Sex Is Good

According to the Kama Sutra, sex is very good indeed. It's essential for survival of the human race, and necessary for health and happiness, at least in certain stages of your life: "pleasures being as necessary for existence and well-being of the body as food, are consequently equally required." (I-2) As part of Kama, life's third aim, pleasure, sex, and love can help a soul reach spiritual liberation. Vatsyayana taught that you don't have to deny the body or escape from the world to achieve ultimate enlightenment; rather you should be fully present and live life to the utmost.

Chapter 7: In & Out, Up & Down, All Around

To ease your exploration, we've sorted Vatsyayana's lovemaking postures into a simple classification that will be intuitively obvious to you. We've also expanded on the very brief original description of each posture, adding technique details, benefits, and cautions. So that you'll have a visual reference to inspire your own experiments, most poses are illustrated with color photographs.

Chapter 11: Fast and Deep

. . . The Cow (Dhenuka): The Cow is basically a standing, rear-entry position. You bend at the waist, touching your palms to the floor or grasping your ankles. Keep your legs straight or slightly bend your knees, whatever feels most comfortable. Bent over this way, your derriere is proudly presented, with your engorged vulva fully exposed to plunder by your lover. The sight is extremely arousing for him. Standing behind you, he seizes your shoulders or hips and pulls you in for intense penetration. . .
