Pocket Kama Sutra review

This book would make a cute present for a bachelorette party or a tame addition to any bookshelf. It's unlikely to offend anybody. Even your pastor probably has a copy kicking about.

This book has been around for ages! I remember buying it (with intense embarrassment) when I'd just lost my virginity with my first girlfriend, so we could try out all the new positions.

That was over ten years ago, though - and looking at it again, the book seems ridiculously tame by today's standards!

Pocket Karma Sutra|Pocket Kama Sutra is a pocket sized (duh) book which displays the most popular 'tantric' sex positions|Tantric sex positions through beautifully shot photographs of an attractive young couple.

The young couple are nice - tanned and toned - but their hairstyles give away the fact that these pictures were taken a couple of decades ago. Also, the book is entirely 'soft core,' with tasteful camera angles making sure suitably positioned hips, legs, thighs and bums cover the 'naughty' bits.

When I was eighteen and my girlfriend and I were each the first people we'd seen naked, it was sexy stuff indeed and I remember us trying out just about every position with differing levels of success (in all honesty, it took us a while to even get doggy style right.)

These days, with Jenna Jameson|Jenna Jameson's signature collection and Ron Jeremy|Ron Jeremy's signature collection both household names and explicit sex tapes making (instead of killing) the careers of Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, we're used to seeing naked people everywhere! Looking at this book once again, I honestly don't think I'd be too ashamed leaving it on my coffee table for visitors to flick through.

So as a sexy stimulant to a couple's relationship, it's a tame but serviceable one. if you're interested in spicing up your sex life and want a guide close at hand (it difficult to surf the net mid-coitus) you can do a lot worse than this attractive, well written guide.

If you're looking for something 'hot' or for something to get your engine revving, I imagine the Pocket Kama Sutra might leave you cold.

    Is this a book of general sexual positions, or it is actually a shortened guide to the teachings of the Kama Sutra?
  • Contributor: Champagne and Benzedrine (Roland Hulme)
    I think it's what you call a 'modern interpretation' of the kama sutra, so the book itself makes a lot of references to Eastern culture and erotic ideas and the sexual positions are inspired by the Kama Sutra. That being said, I got the impression from reading it (since I can't really compare, as I've never read the original Kama Sutra) that it's closer to a modern 'good sex' guide than a book on the ancient teachings of tantric sex.

    So definitely not queer inclusive? :)

    Do you think if it had been more "hardcore" (ie, actually showed some naughty bits in action), you would have given it  higher rating? 
  • Contributor: Champagne and Benzedrine (Roland Hulme)
    Hi Essin' Em - nope, it's about us unqueer as you can get. Sorry.

    Speaking of which - you'd be the PERFECT person to write 'the queer kama sutra.' If you need an agent, look me up!

    Me at school offend. I do not know as me to be. I am am protected only by one person - my best friend Sasha Davidov. Coming home on Friday (and I after all at school study all the week long) I sit down and I think: how to me to be with all it? What to me to do? I approach to mum, I ask: "Mum well as to me to make so that me offended at school?" She answers: "hit back!". I certainly could hit back, but I am afraid that too will strike me. I do not know that to me to do because it is necessary all school scoffs. And us with my friend of all two!

    It's recently started to warm up here in Sunny England. Now I actually quite enjoy the warm weather and usually I take full advantage.
    But one thing that is annoying during the hot summer months is the fact it makes sleeping very difficult. Sometimes I just lay there a soak the pillow in sweat!!
    I try to combat this by plugging in the fan next to the bed.
    What methods do you use to make sure you get a good and comfortable nights sleep during the hot sticky summer nights?

    What's up

    My mom told me about this site where you can meet poeple with the same interest. I think he said it was named Trade A Knack or something. I tried tradeaknack.com but it didn't work.

    Anybody at all heard of it? Want to give me the link?
