Who doesn't love Tracey Cox? She's bold, smart, and sassy-a sexpert with style. She's an internationally bestselling author. She's hosted television shows on relationships and sex here and abroad, and she's sold over two million books around the world.

You might think Tracey has done it all, but you'd be wrong. Until now there was one challenge Tracey hadn't tackled-the ancient text of the Kama Sutra.

In Kama Sutra, Tracey takes on the sexual equivalent of Mt. Everest-the ancient text that suggests couples bend, twist and fold their way into sexual ecstasy. Tracey explains to readers which positions work-and which ones are ridiculous. It's a refreshing take on the world's oldest sex book illustrated with hot, original photography and written in Tracey's inimitable style.

Listen to the podcast with Tracey Cox on Kama Sutra and hear her discuss where her interest on sex books came from, why she finds the Kama Sutra fascinating, and her views on sexual myths and the misconception that Kama Sutra is just about positions.

Don't let your exploration stop there-then read the introduction to Kama Sutra.

I put my heart, soul (and other parts I won't mention) into writing this book-but I have to warn you, it's probably nothing like other books you might have read on spiritual sex. It's irreverent, not terribly spiritual in the "worship God" type of way, there's more than the odd "bugger" thrown in, and I've shamelessly mixed concepts, positions, and techniques from all of the infamous ancient texts. Rather than faithfully sticking to their original wording, I've reworked, reworded, and often taken some liberties with something some see as spiritually sacred. For this, I offer complete and humble apologies.

There are many excellent books out there that do remain loyal to the originals and the million-plus sales figures are testament to the fact that people are fascinated by its teachings. I've been decidedly sniffy about spiritual sex in the past, but I started researching it for my last book superhotsex, and was suddenly seized with a need to bring it all to life again and put my own stamp on it. Because I still get the distinct impression most people think of Kama Sutra as a book about sexual positions. It's not. It's wonderfully quirky, marvelously eccentric, slightly crazy tome, which happens to have some absolute pearls of sexual wisdom mixed in among it all. Trouble is, if you stick to the original wording, a lot of it doesn't seem applicable to modern lifeÑwhich is why people have a tendency to skip the theory and instead ogle the pretty pictures of people with elastic limbs doing erotic acrobatics.

I figured if I rewrote the bits people often missed out on in a way most of us could relate to, you'd be far more likely to actually read them. And if I didn't pretend you had to take it all terribly seriously-because some of it is sooooooo out there, it's impossible not to laugh out loud-you might be even more intrigued. Then, I added all the positions you clearly love on top of that, so you didn't feel cheated. And came up with something, I hope, that offers a fresh, innovative twist on the original. This book became a personal project-in more ways than one...

Rather than photograph it in the traditional way, paying homage to its Indian roots and going for a hippy-trippy environment, we decided to shoot it in ultra-modern locations. If I was going to do a modern-day version, let's set it to modern day! Weirdly, though, some of the houses we wanted to shoot in, weren't so keen when they realized there would be (ohmygod!) naked people demonstrating (what?!) SEX positions inside it. Wimps. So I offered up my apartment as one of the locations. Wouldn't bother me. Why, I hardly noticed the gorgeous man, naked on my bed. Being the consummate professional, I calmly ventured out of my office to make cups of tea, without even bothering to glance at the couple cavorting on my vouch. (Mainly because models are ultra modest and put on robes between shoots and you rarely got to see their bits once they're in position anyway. Dammit.) All went swimmingly well until one day, I popped out for a paper and, having the attention span of a two-year-old, managed to forget there was a shoot happening in my place in the three-minute walk from the store. So I merely swung open my front door without having mentally prepared myself...to be treated to the sight of the male model, lying sprawled on my ottoman with everything exposed in all its glory. And what a glorious site it was. So glorious in fact, I let out a rather un professional "Blimey!" which led to a lot of equally unprofessional laughter from the filming crew and the poor model looking horribly embarrassed (or pleased, still can't decide which). Oops.

Anyway, you'll notice the book has been structured in a certain way. The "top positions"-23 of them-are original Kama Sutra staples (although I couldn't resist tweaking the names!). The others are inspired by various spiritual sources, including Tao and Tantra. Some of them look ridiculously easy, others impossibly difficult. But don't be fooled. A lot of what's actually happening can't be seen and the aerobatic positions aren't designed for traditional thrusting. All is not as it seems. As per usual, this book is for all types of people: straight, gay, bi, single, living together, married. It's for the sake of simplicity that I say "he" and "she".

Have fun!
