The Cosmo Kama Sutra: 77 Mind-Blowing Sex Positions

by Cosmopolitan

The Cosmo Kama Sutra was the first in Cosmo’s wildly successful line of fun, fearless, and sexy books—and readers have snatched it up in droves. With 14 printings of the hardcover slipcased edition, this bestseller is now available in a great new format with a stunning effect: A paper-engineered “Venetian blind” reveal on the front cover. Pull the tab and it opens and changes the view from the book’s title to a partial view of one of the 77 hot positions. It’s a playful design that perfectly captures Cosmo’s approach to sex while offering a tasteful retail display.

One thing hasn’t changed: Inside, the book is steamy as ever with fully-illustrated specially commissioned drawings and detailed instructions to help maximize pleasure…for both partners. All 77 positions—from the Wanton Wheelbarrow to the Passion Pretzel to the Romp with a View—come with a “Carnal Challenge” rating to indicate the degree of difficulty. Add to that a slew of sex tips, and you’ve got a torrid tour-de-force that will be as much fun to give as to receive!

I'm not a big fan of Cosmo, nor is my wife, but we recognized that every relationship needs investment. This is a great book for people like us who aren't looking for a sex book that discusses "everything." It shows 77 different sexual positions between a man and a woman only. The pictures are basic drawings, but are anatomically correct. Both of us appreciate that there is nothing about this book that is "over the top" (no genitalia, no mention of oral or anal sex, etc.) Overall, it's a pretty tame book but the positions are not only doable (mostly) but there are enough of them to give any couple a nice resource to keep things interesting for a long time.

To be honest the pull-tab cover is what caught my eye and you know what they say about judging a book by its cover. This book was one of the worse Kama Sutra knock offs I've personally ever seen, the moves are either renamed classics or just plan gender role switched versions of the same moves in the same book. 77 gets knocked down to a hand full. I would suggest looking at a different knock off or to just look up positions online.

This book is good for beginners in having a good sex life. IF you don't know more then the very few everyday positions, THEN you should definitely have some fun with it. IF you're interested in something to spice up things that you have been doing for years, chances are you aren't going to really learn much more then you've figured out on your own.
Good luck

this is the definitive kama sutra for a contemporary sexy couple. the diagrams are clear, fun, well organized. it has no mysticism or cultural baggage, just good suggestions/instructions.

tasteful pictures but I find myself looking at them thinking..."How in the world do you physically do that."
still it is a good begginers book for the less sex-perianced

I stumbled upon The Cosmo Kama Sutra during one of my vintage bookstore adventures, instantly drawn in by the colorful box that held the book. As a Sexologist, it was a no-brainer to add this quirky yet charming piece to my Sexology library.

Each page is carefully laid out with a refreshing mix of color and clarity, making it easy to follow the various positions and techniques. I especially love the adorable heat rating system used for each move. It adds a fun touch that perfectly complements the book's playful, yet informative, tone.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Cosmopolitan publication without a little bit of cringiness. Some of the descriptions can feel a bit cheesy, but considering the book's lighthearted approach, that’s to be expected.

Ultimately, the book is a delightful mix of colorful, cute, and well-organized content, perfect for anyone looking to explore intimacy in a way that’s both playful and informative. It’s not a deep dive into technique, but it does offer an enjoyable and visually appealing addition to any collection.

Meh. It felt like most of the positions were the same. And, oddly, they threw in a few girl-on-girl positions. Really? If you're gay you're not going to buy a book with 90 pictures of straight sex and 10 pictures of gay sex. It felt like they were really catering to the stereotypical heterosexual male.

Better sex position books out there but this book has some good positions. This one is actually harmful in that it says women can orgasm from penetration always, which is not always true. Honestly probably best sex position is whatever ones you can use a vibrator with, just my two cents.
