Picture yourselves teasing and delighting each other with an inspiring selection of techniques and positions that you have never tried before. By taking you on a sumptuous journey through the East, Sex Secrets of the Kama Sutra will teach you both to become gloriously talented lovers along the way. The first stop on your erotic journey is India. Chapter one reveals the secret techniques of the Kama Sutra and the Ananga Ranga. You can try out everything from methods of “mouth congress” and thrusting techniques, to classic Kama Sutra positions such as Twining and Fixing a Nail. You will also discover how to have ecstatic sex, Tantric-style. Chapter two reveals the heady delights of Arabian sex. Make your lover swoon using arousing fragrances, frolics, and foods, then drive his or her passion wild with novel sex positions. China is the next stop on your sexual voyage. Immerse yourselves into the ancient erotic secrets of The Tao. You will discover that a slow and prolonged approach to sex can give you intense waves of joy and make orgasm a whole-body experience. Following on, Chapter four lifts the lid on the Japanese art of eroticism. By entering the secret world US_001-007_Prelims.indd 6 31/01/2011 15:43 of Geisha, Shunga, and Shibari, you can explore sex that is sensual and kinky. If you have ever fantasized about tying up your lover, or experimenting with erotic domination and submission, you will find techniques here that are safe yet extremely sexy. Within each chapter the sex positions are arranged in order of erotic intensity, starting with sensual (for when you want a loving mood) and moving up to steamy, raunchy, passionate, and, ultimately, ravishing, for when you want to express your wanton lust. Each position also has an “expert rating” to let you know how easy or challenging it is (one “brush stroke” is the least challenging while five equals the most challenging). The pages are also sprinkled with quotes from ancient erotic manuscripts, and from real-life contemporary lovers who were candid enough to share their experiences. Let yourself be inspired by the quotes and the “secrets,” as well as by the gorgeous photography. Finally, so that you can relax fully into the erotic pleasures, make sure that sex is always safe, legal, and mutually pleasurable—and remember that if you are using oil it can damage the latex in condoms, rendering them ineffective. In techniques where the use of oil is mentioned and you are using condoms, the oil should be replaced with a water-based lubricant.
