AFRICAN EROTICA The Essence of African Erotica in Art & Literature Joseph Toledano
A well-known researcher of Africa and its arts once claimed African erotica is evident to the eye. By this he meant that in the abundant culture of Africa we can find statuettes that depict every possible erotic position. The African erotic world is very profound and its roots are extremely ancient dating back to when the Queen of Sheba arrived at the court of King Solomon where according to legend he fell in love with her. We also find evidence and expressions of African eroticism in the cultures of various countries that were in close proximity to Africa or had commercial ties with the people of Africa. In this way evidence of the African culture can be found in the culture of Ancient Egypt Greece and Rome as well as among the Arabs the Indians and the Persians.

ALCHEMY OF SEXUAL ENERGY Connecting to the Universe from Within Mantak Chia
Taoists consider our sexual energy to be the creative force that we can use to regenerate the body's internal energy, but we must learn how to harness excess sexual energy and transform it into chi or life-force energy. When we circulate the sexual energy in the Microcosmic Orbit - a continuous energy loop that runs up the spine and down the front of the body - we transform it into self-healing energy that can be stored in the organs and the three tan tiens: energy centres in the brain, the heart centre and the lower abdomen. THE ALCHEMY OF SEXUAL ENERGY builds upon Microcosmic Orbit practices discussed in The Healing Light of the Tao.
The more we open the flow of our internal energy the more capable we are of connecting to the cosmic energy that exists outside ourselves in the universe. By learning to open the three tan tiens to the six directions, the Taoist practitioner combines mind power with extension of chi to draw cosmic energy into the body. This energy, too, can be stored in the three tan tiens and used as needed for healing. When we learn to flow in this way with the energy of the Tao, life ceases to be a struggle.
• Shows how to transform excess sexual energy (Ching Chi) into
self-healing energy
• Presents advanced Cosmic Healing Chi Kung practices, which gather
the limitless resources of Cosmic Chi for healing
• Explains how opening of the three tan tiens to the six directions
allows personal consciousness to connect directly to higher sources
of energy

COURTLY LOVE The Path of Sexual Initiation Jean Markale
The widespread turmoil that shook Western Europe as it entered the new millennium with the year 1000 prompted a vast reevaluation of the chief tenets of society. Foremost among these was a new way of looking at love and the place held by women in society. A new perspective one in which women enjoyed a central role as the inspiration for all male action replaced the Christian-inspired tradition that at best viewed women with contempt-and often with outright fear and loathing-. For several hundred years courtly love with its emphasis on adultery carnal pleasures and the power of the feminine dominated European culture despite its flouting of conventional Christian morality. Medieval historians by and large have tended to regard courtly love as a sterile parlour game for the upper classes. On the contrary Jean Markale shows that the stakes were much higher : the roots of the ritual re-created here go all the way back to the great mother goddess. In addition the platonic nature attributed to these relationships is based on a misunderstanding of courtly love. Underneath the refined poetry of the troubadours' verses flourished a system of sexual initiation that rivalled Indian Tantra. ¨ Debunks the myth of the platonic nature of courtly love showing the many sexual similarities to the tantric practices of India.

EROS CONSCIOUSNESS KUNDALINI Deepening Sensuality Through Tantric Celibacy & Spiritual Intimacy Stuart Sovatsky
Exercises based on yoga and chakra meditation teach you to transform sexual energy into spiritual and erotic fulfillment.
•Perfect for deepening a life partnership, gaining mastery over one's body, or healing the emotional scars of sexual abuse.
•Well-illustrated positions and techniques.
In this extraordinary celebration of the erotic, Dr. Stuart Sovatsky introduces us to the Tantric art of sexual sublimation, in which sexual energy is redirected toward achieving higher awareness and an erotic satisfaction far beyond that possible through sexual intercourse. The potential reasons for exploring Tantric celibacy are many--including the desire to deepen a life partnership, to gain a new level of mastery over one's body, to heal the emotional scars of sexual abuse, to practice safe sex, or to explore the intimate relationship between spirituality and sexuality.
Exercises based on yoga, kundalini, and chakra meditation make Eros, Consciousness, and Kundalini a practical guide to the world of Tantric celibacy. By transcending the boundaries of conventional sexuality, one can learn to harness the divine energy--glimpsed for only an instant by most people--that is at the heart of all erotic yearning.
This is the new edition of the book Passions of Innocence.

GOLDEN LOTUS The Erotic Essence of China Bret Norton
Almost five millennia ago Chinese artists specialised in the writing and illustration of love scrolls (pillow books) for the use of the ruling classes. In these scrolls the members of the ruling classes - men and women alike - were taught proper sexual technique which lead to sexual fulfilment while preserving and reinforcing the life energy. These masterpieces were illustrated by the best Chinese artists through the generations and were kept in the private libraries of the emperors and in the homes of the nobles. Later on the Chinese writings served as a source of inspiration for writers of books such as THE KAMA SUTRA and other Indian writings. The books that have been published up until now can be divided into two categories: scientific translations of the ancient manuscripts or albums that specialise mainly in the illustrations. This book tries to bridge these two realms and presents the essence of the erotic manuals in a clear and modern translation with examples of classic Chinese erotic works as well as hundreds of full-colour original pictures.

In this companion volume to their best-selling book, Extended Massive Orgasm, Steve and Vera Bodansky give much more detail about the best hand and body positions for performing and receiving EMO.
With more than 70 photographs and drawings illustrating both the anatomy of the genitals and the optimum positions for manually stimulating your partner, couples are able to understand and master techniques for achieving prolonged orgasm. And while the first book focused mainly on female sexual pleasure, The Illustrated Guide to Extended Massive Orgasm covers new ground in the area of male arousal and orgasm.
By learning about concepts such as “taking control” and “surrender,“ partners release inhibitions and can share an erotic adventure. The Bodanskys also highlight topics such as:
*Unknown erogenous zones *Enhancing sensitivity?,the relationship between hand position and stroking *Communication?,how to ask for what you like and how to “talk dirty
Written for men and women of all sexual orientations, The Illustrated Guide to Extended Massive Orgasm is a playful tool for partners of any age wishing to boldly explore the depths of sexual pleasure together. Orgasm is no longer just a fleeting moment, but the beginning of lasting arousal that goes far beyond the bedroom.
ILLUSTRATED KAMA SUTRA, ANANGA-RANGA, PERFUMED GARDEN The Classic Eastern Love Texts Captain Sir Richard F. Burton
Translated by F. F. Arbuthnot
Sexual frankness without a hint of guilt or prurience is the great legacy which the Eastern, and in particular Indian, traditions have given us. As an expression of human culture and as a pillow book for the modern boudoir, the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana, the most famous work on sex ever written, the Ananga-Ranga of Kalyana Malla, and Sheikh Nefzai's Perfumed Garden, set forth the principles of sensual pleasure with poetry, wisdom and humour, celebrating love as an ecstatic expression of life's beauty.
Here, for the first time, Sir Richard Burton's translations of the classic Eastern love texts have been published in one volume.
The first Kama Sutra to be illustrated in colour with a dazzling and unique collection of Indian painting and sculpture.
These erotic treatises are not sex manuals in the modern sense clinical collections of coital postures but a broader and more humane exploration of Eastern sexual customs.
