"Written in India (100AD-600AD), the Kama Sutra is ultimately about wisom and our creative cultivation as complete individuals with healthy, intimate relations with others. It covers the three aims of life, virtue (dharma), prosperity (artha), and love (kama). The Kama Sutra is a philosophical work that discusses sexuality and its cultivation openly and honestly. It is not significantly influenced by western Christian morals that dominate western attitudes on sex. The Kama Sutra sex positions are the most famous part of the book. This edition is beautifully illustrated with 25 full page pictures of all the Kama Sutra sex positions."-- back cover.
