About the author

Anne is an author, journalist, broadcaster, partner – and mother to three grown sons. She gave up the struggle to decide which of these roles is most important and relaxed into acceptance that all are important. Her priorities are: partner and three sons in equal measure. She writes to earn a living.

“Writing is not just about the joy of earning money. Writing, of any sort, offers such a spark of creativity that it compensates for the tough things in life. And of course life has been both tough and joyful," she says.

What could I say... This is a picture book I love!

IS VERY GOOD

[Wesley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much more simplified for modern readers and illustrated clearly for practical experimentation.

More useful and recommended than the original text, but at a loss to the beautiful art and symbolism of its origins.

[Vincent Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fantabulous book... a must read.

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.

It's very important to know about sex in a very effective way. there's no shame about that. And Anne Hooper got the essentials to explain sexuality in a very impressive way.

Her book The KamaSutra is very important for any grown-up wants to have a great sexual life with his/her beloved one. :)

[Asra Ghouse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Those things that increase passion should be done first, and those for amusement should be done afterward.

This turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable read. It says 'Kamasutra Manual' but, it had more than just the 'how-tos'.

A book that should be kept handy for life's little occasions when there is a little something more wanted, needed, desired.

كيف تمارس فن الحب .. بلا تعقيدات، بلا عقبات :)

[Ali Dada · Rating 3 out of 5]

This Anne Hooper's book is one of our favorite books related to sex and intimacy. The quality of the book is amazing in terms of the varied topics and is very comprehensive. Our only discomfort is with too much emphasis on sexual positions and nudity as well as some other things that are out of alignment with our faith. That is why we wrote "The Perfumed Garden 2:: A Sensual Spiritual Sex Manual." But this review is not about our book. We want to say hats off to Ms. Hooper for her valuable advice. This particular edition is a little dated, from 1994. There is so much more to sex, especially foreplay that doesn't happen in the bedroom and books like this provide valuable insights. Check it out, but do get the latest edition.

Lo encontré bueno porque te explica temas del sexo desde los orígenes, y bases para mejorar la intimidad de pareja desde lo afectivo. El programa de los 3 días lo encontré muy bueno!!
Es cortito porque la mayoría son fotografías e ilustraciones.

LAME
Not for people who already know everything about sex like me

[Anurag Jatav · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was acquainted with Kama-Sutra.
The perfumed garden and The Tao is the delightful and insightful addition.
