The manual deals with various topics such as types of genitals pleasing women based on the lunar calendar sexual congress and positions stages of love such as weight loss and fainting detailed descriptions of Indian feminine beauty aphrodisiacs and others. <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ratirahasya has been translated into several languages the most well-known English version being done by Alex Comfort author of The Joy of Sex in 1964.

Internally clean with some light toning to page block. Near fine. Housed in a pink silk covered slipcase. <br /> <br /> Scarce first edition of this text from British Tantra scholar Sir John Woodroffe 1865-1936 who wrote extensively under the pseudonym Arthur Avalon. Woodroffe through his writings helped stimulate and spread interest in Hindu philosophy and Yoga in the West. This is the third text cowritten by Woodroffe and Mukhyopadhyaya in the World as Power series. From Woodroffe's preface:<br /> <br /> "A comparison is made between Shakta-vada and the better known Vedanta system called Mayavada. Both systems speak of Maya but understand them differently as explained in the ten chapters of this book. Its object is not to prove the truth of this or any other system but to give an exposition of Consciousness as conceived in the doctrine of Power and in such exposition to show that it is not a mere fossil in a museum of antique thought but has practical utility today. It offers to Western philosophy a new conception of Consciousness and Mind and brings to the controversies within the Vedantic schools a profoundly conceived contri-bution in its theory of power and in its doctrine of the unity of conditioned and unconditioned being of the state of worldly experience which is Samsara and that super-worldly experience which is Moksha."<br /> <br /> <br /> This text was reissued in at least 3 editions through 1964. The first of 1929 is scarce. From the library of Blanche DeVries and Pierre Bernard.<br /> <br /> <br /> . Ganesh & Co unknown
