Samenvatting:

The New Age Kama Sutra for Women is a celebration of the sensitivities of the 21st century woman through the gaze of a woman. Unlike most translations and interpretations of the Kama Sutra which have been authored by men and naturally, therefore, adopt a male bias, this book crosses the boundaries of the classical treatise on the aphorisms of love, transposing its context to the modern day.With gender roles undergoing changes in sensibilities, with the 'New Age' woman playing a more empowered role in society, the relationship between a man and woman must perforce gain a new perspective. Strident feminism is not the answer for satisfactory and fulfilling male-female bonding. It is not a question of a battle of the sexes the gain the upper hand: it is all about the appreciation of the nuances of being a woman, of her natural urges and attributes, her well-being and contentment that makes this book as important for male readership as it is for the softer gender.Written by a noted art historian, who has been immersed in an in-depth study of sexuality and gender issues, this book is a corollary to the classical Kama Sutra . Sensuously appealing in its carefully selected images, the most natural, the most beautiful, the most sacred of all relationships unfolds through the pages as a meaningful and inspiring read for all couples today.
