The Complete Illustrated Kama Sutra

Product Information

Burton published an edited English translation of these manuscripts, but not a critical edition of the Kamasutra in Sanskrit.

A tiring position for the man, but worth it for the woman as the pressure of his body on her pelvis helps her to climax. Grab onto each other for balance as you steady yourself for the best and most challenging and erotic tree climbing experience of your life. According to Doniger, the Kamasutra discusses same-sex relationships through the notion of the tritiya prakriti, literally, "third sexuality" or "third nature".Unlike the classic English adaptation Richard Burton published in 1883, this version preserves the numbered verse divisions and the full explicitness of the original. The text is illuminated beautifully with 269 rare images of great works of art from museums and several private collections around the world. Above: 6th- to 14th-century temples in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Nepal. With brand new full-coloured and striking illustrations by Alicia Rihko, a freelance illustrator and designer based in Spain, who has built a strong social media following with her strikingly original erotic artworks, inspired by pop culture motifs and full of colour, sensuality, and rebellious fun. Her translation has the folksy, "twinkle prose", engaging style, and an original translation of the Sanskrit text.

Burton created a fake publishing house named The Kama Shastra Society of London and Benares (Benares = Varanasi), with the declaration that it is "for private circulation only". Really let out your wild side and move your arms back and forth for some added animalistic movements. The woman crouches down onto the man’s lap, while she controls the penetration by rocking back and forth on her heels. With her body at a slight angle, she then holds onto his knees while slowly lowering herself onto him. The man sits on a chair – ideally the chair won’t be too high as the woman’s feet need to touch the ground.It is also a psychological treatise that presents the effect of desire and pleasure on human behavior. Maybe you have some questions about the Kama Sutra that you’ve been too scared to ask your girlfriends. The woman lies on top of him facing away from him with her legs either side of his waist and her arms wrapped around his legs.
