Press Here! Kama Sutra for Beginners is a great summary introduction to the Kama Sutra. Complete with drawings, and summary text it is a great starting point. The descriptions and illustrations have been updated to take into account the variety of partnerships in todays society, and range from the simple to the more challenging. Some spiritual aspects are also discussed and considered. An interesting read for the curious.

Michelle Pauli did an excellent job writing about ABC's of lovemaking. But, the ebook is so much more than positions. She covers things like massages, stimulating the mind, foreplay, and after play. Every couple, no matter what their sexual preference, can learn how to bring joy and satisfaction into their relationship by reading this how-to-do book. The colorful drawings and explanations were right to the point. Some of these, however, you need to be a gymnast to accomplish; but then again, this is the Kama Sutra.

Thank you, Michelle Pauli and Net Galley for the opportunity to review this e-book.

Press Here! is a great beginners guide to the Kama Sutra. It's easy to digest with helpful instructions and sketches of the positions. If you're interested in the Kama Sutra but find the original work daunting this is a great modernized alternative.

I feel like every couple should try this book if they're interested! It was a really thorough introduction to a concept most people are interested in, but may find too intimidating or out there to try.

This was helpfully illustrated and informative while being extremely friendly for beginners.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a very short and comprehensive modern guide to the Kama Sutra. I liked that it took quotes from the original text but used modern ideas and feminism to explain how women can also find pleasure.

Informative and gave good descriptions but I had a hard time adjusting to the terms for the anatomy so it took me a bit to figure out what they were talking about with some of the positions.

A very informative and engaging adaptation of the Kama Sutra for Beginners. I do very much appreciate the inclusion of same-sex and nonbinary couples. Cis straight individuals are primarily focused on but that is also from the text it is adapting. I hope to see more of these breaking down how the positions can work for all kinds of couples, not just Cis and straight.

This was a bit different than I expected. It was an interesting read, but it is a totally different world than what I am used to. It talks about worshipping and doing things a certain way for men and women, which isn't something I am used to. But I liked the look into the different positions and tips.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this book had lots of good information and instructions but I thought it would be more engaging if the pictures were real with real couples. It seemed to textbook like.

A very useful book. I wish it was able to connect to my Kindle though.

Good book with illustrations. Very detailed and easy to read. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

Two weeks away from turning 50 doesn't really make me a beginner, but I was fascinated to read this again & remember the bits I'd forgotten. Very well illustrated & definitely the book for anyone starting out on their sexual adventures

A modern abbreviation of the Kama Sutra, that makes sure to be more 'woke' than most others. So while the original was strictly heterosexual, the close-ups in the illustrations are full of ethnicities, the middle-aged, those with bright blue stubble, and people whose gender is not blatant. Now I've not read a full version of the Kama Sutra, so I don't know how adapted the text is, but there seemed quite a bit of modern sensitivity in the writing too – we're told to build a landscape for all the senses en route to anything fruity happening. But if any of my partners came at me with "wild music, such as pebbles to knock together, crisp twigs for snapping, or dry leaves to rustle and crunch" I'd be expecting to see them next in a straightjacket and not something suitably skimpy.

But then there has always, I guess, been something of the mindfulness manual about the book, gearing us through the art of wooing and being in the moment together, massage, and suchlike, before getting on to the acrobatics. The famed positions are presented very well here, text and illustrations aiding each other to get the point across. It's a bit daft to introduce each position and then give a generic quote or summarise some semi-relevant advice before getting down to it – but I suppose that's only foreplay. Some people will prefer the dryness of other adaptations, with non-anatomical cartoon illustrations and what have you, but this is the modern, relatively SFW version many will have craved.
