Kama Sutra audio book
© Kevin Davison - Quevin LLC
Over 1600 years old the Kama Sutra is now a audio book. A British publisher recently released the audio version of the world's best known book of erotica so that people didn't feel embarrassed reading it while on public transport. While many would opt for the hard copy with pictures, there would seem to be an audience for the audio version: one would have to listen to it to see if it manages to explain the many forms of erotica.
The Kama Sutra, narrated by a British actress, is based on ancient Indian philosophies and was first translated into English in the 19th century. It contains advice on relationships and one of its chapters describes 64 types of sexual acts.
What do you think? Would you prefer the audio or the hard copy?

My Mother, Madame Edwarda and The Dead Man
"My Mother" is a study of a mother's quest for destruction and its influence on her son. It is not a moralistic fable that describes the pitfalls of a profligate life. This kind of purist concept of human sexuality is completely opposite to the philosphy Bataille writes about in this and other texts.
In "My Mother", the liberal lifestyle and sexual openness of the characters comes not from of a slow, fatalistic slumping towards the gutter, but from a quest for an intense experience, especially sexual experience. This attitude is seen when the mother writes to her son "I have absolutely no interest in this world where they scratch about, patiently waiting for death to enlighten them. As for me, it is the wind of death that sustains the life in me."
Then the son realizes that in his solitude, he would be hardened and shocked when he thinks of his mother's crime made her closer to God. The comparison of base sensuality with being divine, and the constant reference to taboos in this story are combined with an ultimate moral ambiguity. These are demonstrated in the other two stories as well.
Bataille's writing is excellent if you can take its pornographic imagery and blasphemous language. His stories and essays are critical of religion, morality and social norms. This stuff is not just well-written erotica: it is profound and provocative philosophy.

Erotic Literature Of Ancient India
Erotic Literature Of Ancient India is an anthology that covers at least 1000 years of India's history, and hints at 7000 more. It is well researched, and yet it is lively and informative. It is intensely sexual, but it is not crude. Its voice goes from friendly and factual to adoring and then back again.
Keep in mind that for the early part of India's history, it was largely agrarian. People thrived because of the land and its creatures. They depended on their own fertility for their loves. Just imagine how splendid it must be to witness and be part of the new acts of creation that happen every day!
The first chapter celebrates bhakti, holy bliss in surrendering one's self which gives itself in physical surrender and bliss. Next come the Krishna mythos. Krishna is the encompassing lover above all. He seduces hundreds of cowherd (gopi) girls in a single moment, and yet he is devoted to Radha and she to him. Mulchandani also briefly deals with tantrism, devotional practices that harnesses the deepest energies of men and women to raise them to their ultimate.

Never Love A Stranger (1948) By Harold Robbins
Harold Robbins - who died in 1997 - was an American author who became popular for his novels with graphic sexuality.
In 1948, his first novel was published: Never Love A Stranger -- a book that turned controversial because of graphic sexuality. Hence, he became a best-selling author whose novels about sex, money and power were hated by critics but truly loved by readers.
A description of Never Love A Stranger, goes:
This is a typical old Robbins ballad, tracing the life of Frankie Kane as he grows up to face the world. Frankie is human and sensitive and quite normal for a hero. The love story with Ruth has an air of innocence about it and Robbins expertly developed the plot to a nice crescendo. I liked all the characters mainly because they are human and sensitive and act in a way which common people do. Highly recommended for Robbins fans.
Well I have never read this book yet. In my college dorm, I've read of couple of Harold Robbins novels whose titles I totally forgot now. If you are interested, click here for the complete list of Harold Robbins' books.
