The Complete Illustrated Kama Sutra Reviews

  • Roy

    Le livre est loin d'être sulfureux il s'avère même religieux à la lecture et n'est pas sans surprendre quand on connait ce qui se passe en inde aujourd'hui. Le livre est illustré richement et souvent avec de très belles images et photographies. La qualité du papier

  • Butterfleye

    Un livre qui fait voyager et nous fait plonger dans l'art sacré de la sexualité. Les illustrations sont magnifiques : miniatures, gravures d'époque et photos des sculptures des temples tantriques comme Khajuraho

  • Dacre Pell

    Its actually unbelievable that it remains in print. Apart from the (extremely small) section on positions that we all love to learn about, the rest is a complete encouragement of rape, mind control, brainwashing, male dominant/ female submissive codswallop. I actually had a hard time reading some of it, and whilst we live in a society where the majority of people would recognise the atrocity of it, it worries me that in some places this may still be gospel. It is appalling. Worth a read just to open you eyes on why some societies are still so behind in terms of male/ female respect

  • DC_London

    The book is made of very good quality paper however I did not enjoy the content that much as it’s pretty sexist and outdated not very useful or interesting

  • E. Thomas

    Interesting but there are better books out there if you want to spice up your love life.

    Nice coffee table book.

  • goodreads Customer

    It says COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED, it barely has any illustrations. Very misleading
