Beyond the Kama Sutra

Summary: Book as a communication tool
Review: Beyond the Kama Sutra is an adventure into mainstream erotica. Tantalizing in its interpretations and descriptions, the book "draws on all the major Eastern writings: the Kama Sutra and the Ananga Ranga, the Tao of Loving and the Perfumed Garden." While direct in describing various positions and acts, the text is straightforward and written in short segments making it comprehensible, as well as easy to share with a partner. Sexual positions are depicted with seductively orchestrated photos using graceful and beautiful men and women.

For those who familiarize themselves with the ancient names and terms of sexuality, this book provides a visual 'companion' to accompany those definitions. For others that may be searching for an introduction into ancient eastern sexuality, this book condenses theories into specific shared sexual acts giving the reader a broad view of what was once taught openly and without shame. The book probably can best be utilized as a communication prop or tool between partners to stimulate conversation on personal sexual likes and dislikes.
