The Complete Idiot's Guide to Supercharged Kama Sutra Illustrated

This book is embarrassing. Too many photographs. I didn't know people actually buy books like this. I'm sure the writers of the original Kama Sutra would be rolling in their graves if they knew "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Supercharged Kama Sutra Illustrated" was published.

This book is magical. If you are the type of person who is considering buying it, buy it. The knowledge and philosophy in this book is invaluable and enlightning. From the first night I read this book I notice my approach changed a little and everything that followed shifted a bit and that's why this knowledge has been around for 1,000s of years.What I did not know is that my husband and I would be pregnant at 42 after 4 months of trying. I took a series of pilates classes at the time I was reading this. Highly reccomend the combo.The book is pretty visually, it's super easy to read and I think the theories get as complex as you personally make them to be. It's fun. If you don't want this book to get you are your partner pregnant, be fair warned, use protection.

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!
