The word 'kama' means the desire for sensual pleasure in Sanskrit and was considered a key part of the comprehensive education of a young, worldly gentleman. Treating pleasure as an art, the Kama Sutra is a guide that covers every aspect of love and relationships.

The seven sections of the work are dedicated to social life, courtship and marriage, extramarital relationships, partners' behavior, and recipes for enhancing attractiveness, as well as systematic and detailed instructions for sex. This modern translation of the Kama Sutra moves the work away from the typical image of a sexual, oriental curiosity.

This clean, precise translation conveys all the authentic flavor and feel of this elegant, intimate, and extremely enjoyable work: a masterpiece with concise descriptions and a bitter reference to human desires and weaknesses.
