The Gay Kama Sutra

This lavishly illustrated gift book is the first Kama Sutra for gay readers--and a celebration of the East's ancient tradition of spiritual sexuality. Each chapter is based on different lessons from the Kama Sutra, with sexual wisdom in a contemporary gay context. 100 full-color and b&w illustrations.

The Kama Sutra, a compendium of Indian erotic knowledge collected in the 1st century, has long been viewed as a book not only of sexual technique but also of the art of love and life. In The Gay Kama Sutra Colin Spencer has attempted to bring the life-affirming erotic world view of the original (along with some of its more complicated techniques) to his discussion of contemporary gay male life. While the book celebrates gay male sexual love, it also discusses AIDS, relationships, homophobia, transvestism, gender, and politics. Its unabashedly pro-gay stance and ability to convey sexual information in explicit but nonclinical terms makes The Gay Kama Sutra an informative and useful guide.
