I like that there are actually pictures of the positions discussed in this book. However, I think it could have used more examples. In particular, it would have been nice if there had been more examples for couples who are not of similar height.

I was debating whether or not to give this 4 stars, but as you can see, i went with 5. I was going to give it 4 stars because of boredom. I thought some of it was boring because of all the background info it gave from the past, but it is a kama sutra book, so it does make sense, which is y i gave it 5 stars. All of the pictures are colored, and theyre a pretty decent size which helps. It really goes into detail, some of the bites are relatively confusing though. I think I am going to stay away from leaving fancy teeth marks :).

Good item to buy.

This book is in excellent taste, which helps both to quell any trepidation and to engross the reader in the subject matter. The author explains at the outset that this book is about "supercharged" love making with a very special partner, not just about killer sex. She elaborates on more than one occassion that it is the trust between the two partners and the desire to gratify the other person that makes all the difference.

She does an excellent job of describing positions and techniues (with tasteful photos included) and providing historical notes or informational references where appropriate. She also lets you know when a position is a variation on the Kama Sutra position and why (generally it's a matter of dexterity).

Even if you figure out you're not "a complete idiot" and actually know and use many of the positions and techniques, this book is still a wonderful way to "remember" the lovingness of your relationship and that being intimate doesn't only refer to sexual, or even physical, activity. Although this book describes most of the positions in the Kama Sutra (and the background on each), it is as much a book about being a loving "mate" and a "suductress/suducer" as it is about sexual positions.

I HIGHLY recommend this book!

If you want soft porn and not much else this book is for you. If you're looking for a genuine Kama Sutra, keep looking as this is not the place to spend your money.

I found this book to be very nicely done. I loved the way the models' lower intimate parts were kept discretely out of sight, which made me appreciate the tastefulness of the images even more...no porn here:) I also appreciated the explanations behind the different positions and the fact that the book was simply and honestly written for anyone to understand. Quite helpful for those of us who are not yet married, but still want to have some good ideas for when that special time comes.

The authors of this book are apparently experts, and it really shows. The pictures are very helpful, but not overwhelming. The straightforward way the book is written brings the Kama Sutra to the masses. Well written and entertaining. In addition, to this helpful tome, I would also recommend Five Minutes to Orgasm Every Time You Make Love: Female Orgasm Made Simple, which specifically addresses oral sex between couples. One side of the flip over book is all about cunnilingus; then, flip it over and the other side is all about fellatio. These two books would make a great duo.

This book is WONDERFUL!

Tasteful pictures. Great bits of advice and techniques. Fun and easy to read and understand. Good way to add some spice and creativity to your love life.

Nice book. Well written and actually has decent photos of an attractive couple to help.

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!!!

I would recommend it as a guide for beginners or even moderately experienced lovers who want to broaden their love lives. I had hoped it would provide more guidance on new positions, and I was a bit disappointed. We have tried all of these!

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.

We are all different, but another insight and tichniques in simple language is also an education.

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 recomand it!

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 have'nt read this book you are really missing the intricacies of sex.

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!

The lengendary Kama Sutra has long intrigued me but my attempts to read it has 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 kinds 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 clear concise, beautiful, and never condescending.

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 !

Before you can use any of these technicques, you and your partner must fit together very well. Both physically and spiritually!
If not you will need to keep looking for your perfect mate!

Yeah! At last I found a book that is perfect for me. It fits like a glove... Yes, I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT when tendenly, 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!
