Are we so ashamed of sex?
Why are we so ashamed of sex and what it looks like? Sexual intercourse in all its glorious variety is one of humanity’s most important experiences, yet until now there has been a strange convention in sex guides not to photograph the sex organs as they appear in action. Which is a bit like writing a book on sailing but not being allowed to show the boat.

So here, for the first time, a couple actually making love in the positions of the Kama Sutra have been photographed without any prudery or sense of shame… and the results are stunning. Far from being pornographic, these images convey the very deep passion, enjoyment and bonding created between two young people making love.

A kama sutra like no other
This is a Kama Sutra like no other: it selects the most sexually relevant chapters of Sir Richard Burton’s classic translation of the venerable Sanskrit text and augments them with lively commentaries reflecting contemporary life and love. In addition, nine of the best British erotic artists give their graphic interpretation of the famous positions – all in all making this Kama Sutra an ‘essential’ book for today’s lovers.
