The Kama Sutra

The Kama Sutra is a classic guide to the art & skills of sex & love, written in Sanskrit by the Indian thinker Vatsyayana. Love should be an ecstatic experience, but sexual happiness is only likely if both partners have a detailed understanding of sexual behavior. The Kama Sutra, therefore, includes comprehensive detail on the practical aspects of sex. This book is a paperback edition of the classic translation by the British scholar & explorer Sir Richard Burton & F.F. Arbuthnot, a retired Indian civil servant, & edited by W.G. Archer. It was only published widely in Great Britain in the early 1960s, 80 years after its initial appearance.
