3.5/5
The only irritating thing about this book is its references to sex in old Vedic literature. The first half of this book was interesting and I had a lot of fun reading it. It even had a lot of fascinating info about how humans perceived sex and how it got evolved gradually.
It does discuss homosexuality, Paraphilia, and sexual behavior (like Sadism, Masochism, Narcissism, etc.,) and does it well. But later the book goes to the territory of the Kama Sutra. I liked some part of it but I contradict most of its concepts. The author asks us to think about it in a different way and tries to justify concepts such as "WAYS TO TEMPT A WOMAN BESIDES YOUR WIFE" and "HOW IN SANSKRIT A SENTENCE HAS DIFFERENT MEANINGS AND WE ARE MISUNDERSTANDING IT" and much more. These are the two things I remember right now but, a lot of these jokes are there whenever the author describes our ancient scriptures.
I mean, it's okay to believe in those shit but trying to justify it cringed me out.
Other than these old Indian ludicrous, hypocritic teachings of our ancient Indian dudes (YEAHHH! I COULDNT ABLE TO TOLERATE THE முன்னோர்கள் ஒன்றும் முட்டாள்கள் இல்லை CRAP! ), the parts where the author talks about the evolution of Sexology, how people reacted to different kind of sexual beliefs, behavior, and orientation in different period of time and how scientifically correct was that! - These were some of the best parts of this book and for that alone, I liked and enjoyed this book!
A fun nonfictional and somewhat educational read!
