This book has been around for ages! I remember buying it (with intense embarrassment) when I'd just lost my virginity with my first girlfriend, so we could try out all the new positions.

That was over ten years ago, though - and looking at it again, the book seems ridiculously tame by today's standards!

Pocket Karma Sutra|Pocket Kama Sutra is a pocket sized (duh) book which displays the most popular 'tantric' sex positions|Tantric sex positions through beautifully shot photographs of an attractive young couple.

The young couple are nice - tanned and toned - but their hairstyles give away the fact that these pictures were taken a couple of decades ago. Also, the book is entirely 'soft core,' with tasteful camera angles making sure suitably positioned hips, legs, thighs and bums cover the 'naughty' bits.

When I was eighteen and my girlfriend and I were each the first people we'd seen naked, it was sexy stuff indeed and I remember us trying out just about every position with differing levels of success (in all honesty, it took us a while to even get doggy style right.)

These days, with Jenna Jameson|Jenna Jameson's signature collection and Ron Jeremy|Ron Jeremy's signature collection both household names and explicit sex tapes making (instead of killing) the careers of Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, we're used to seeing naked people everywhere! Looking at this book once again, I honestly don't think I'd be too ashamed leaving it on my coffee table for visitors to flick through.

So as a sexy stimulant to a couple's relationship, it's a tame but serviceable one. if you're interested in spicing up your sex life and want a guide close at hand (it difficult to surf the net mid-coitus) you can do a lot worse than this attractive, well written guide.

If you're looking for something 'hot' or for something to get your engine revving, I imagine the Pocket Kama Sutra might leave you cold.
