Overview
In this wonderfully satin-bound book, Sir Richard F. Burton dictates one of the oldest and well-known treatises on sexuality and love with detailed text and beautiful reprinted paintings. Written in India nearly two centuries ago, the Kama Sutra, or "Aphorisms on Love," concerns the power of sexual congress and the human body to attain a state of spiritual enlightenment and connection. This landmark translation explores the rules and commandments of love, pleasure, and mutual gratification with frankness and a celebratory tone. This amazing new rendering features traditional art and illustrations accompanied by the true-to-the-original text that is as rewarding to read as it is to practice. The perfect companion piece to a world of sensual delights, this book also features a small wooden clasp to keep these iconic pages clean and in top condition.

The Kama Sutra Bedside Companion looks like a pretty good read, though to me it fell short of that. The intended audience of this book is male, which, combined with cultural differences, makes it difficult for me to apply any information within the covers to my relationship. Some of the writings, including how to show affection to a woman through repeated blows to her back during sex, just didn't seem like they would be appropriate for every relationship.

We use our book as a great coffee table book. It always draws up fun conversations,and looks gorgeous in our home. We received our book as a wedding shower gift from a friend, and loved it when we got it. We did read over it once, but that was all. Now it's just for aesthetic purposes and conversation starters.

Overall it was a gem to add to my book collection. It's one I've read over and over, and my partner loves it when I bring it out. Often when he's out of town on business he gets me to email him passages. It was beautiful, sexual and spiritual all at once, something that is sometimes hard to find.

I really liked the diversity that flipping through this book brought to the bedroom. It helped me to relax and experiment without having to completely come up with ideas myself.

I read a lot of books, at least 2 a month, but this book took me a whole month to read. Putting aside it being a hard read, I learned a lot and am very happy I took the time to read it.

A great introduction to Kama Sutra teachings, but not a great "bedside companion". If you are looking for a book to teach you new positions, this is not a good book for that purpost.
