The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana

The Kama Sutra is a classic guide to the art and skills of sex and love, written in Sanskrit by the Indian thinker Vatsyayana. Love should be an ecstatic experience, but sexual happiness is only likely if both partners have a detailed understanding of sexual behavior. The Kama Sutra, therefore, includes comprehensive detail on the practical aspects of sex. This book is a paperback edition of the classic translation by the British scholar and explorer Sir Richard Burton and F.F. Arbuthnot, a retired Indian civil servant, and edited by W.G. Archer. It was only published widely in Great Britain in the early 1960s, 80 years after its initial appearance.
