Amazon.com Review
One might think a former Penthouse Forum magazine editor would be in over her head when it came to interpreting the sacred Kama Sutra for contemporary lovers. Surprisingly, Anne Hooper has grasped the subtle, but more important, messages of India's traditional love manuals. She discourages readers from focusing on accomplishing distorted poses, as if they were athletic feats. Instead, she has written a compelling commentary that encourages readers to emphasize pressure points, manners, artistic freedom, and most of all finding and pursuing a loving sexual relationship rather than an overly choreographed one. Almost every page is illustrated with tasteful photos of nude lovers demonstrating the many sacred positions, while Hooper's text offers suggestions on how to apply the ancient teachings to contemporary lovemaking. --Gail Hudson
Product Description
Anne Hooper's Kama Sutra updates and reinterprets the 2,000 year--old sexual text in a fully illustrated guide that features specially commissioned photographs and information on ways to enrich and diversify one's sex life. In this classic volume of sexual learning, Anne Hooper brings together the best of the eastern sexual teaching, the Kama Sutra, the Ananga Ranga, The Perfumed Garden, and The Tao to create a new classic that encourages an emphasis on pressure points, manners, artistic freedom, and most of all finding and pursuing a loving sexual relationship. She discourages the focus from accomplishing distorted poses----in actuality, they are advanced yoga positions----and instead has discovered the true spirit of these ancient teachings and applied the teachings to contemporary lovemaking.

 Very well done. Excellent modern interpretation of an ancient classic. February 23, 2008
Bunkie57 (So. Ohio USA)
Tastefully illustrated using live models. Not pornographic. The classic positions from the Kama Sutra are made modern & realistic in this edition. Fun, sexy reading for a loving couple on a cozy Saturday night. If you want porn, go somewhere else. If you want to see tasteful human illustrations and read detailed explanations of various positions, this book is for you.

This book answered some questions I had and helped my husband and I. The details inside the book will not leave you wondering.
Great book October 29, 2007

This book was just what I was looking for. It gives lots of pictures but they are very tasteful and there were paragraph descriptions with each of them. It talks about kissing, massaging and then various different positions. It also includes oral and I was looking for some new ideas and it was perfect for that.
Tasteful August 23, 2007

The book is informative, easy to read and tastefully illustrated. I was surprised by how much the Kama Sutra positions weren't as crazy as I'd imagined.

Anne Hooper's Kama Sutra
This book seems like a fabulous thing, but when you begin reading through it seems that the positions are unrealistic and are not explained that well. It was interesting, and the models are beautiful, but I didn't find it was something my partner and I could use practically.
