The Perfumed Garden is a classic Arabic erotic manual written by the Tunisian author Sheikh Nefzawi in the 15th century. The book is a collection of sexual advice and stories that were meant to educate and entertain readers on the subject of love-making. The book is divided into chapters that cover various topics such as foreplay, sexual positions, and the importance of a healthy sex life. The book is written in a poetic and lyrical style, with the author using metaphors and allegories to describe sexual acts and experiences. The Perfumed Garden is a fascinating glimpse into the sexual practices of the Arab world during the 15th century and is still considered a valuable resource for those interested in the history of sexuality.The great English explorer and author Richard F. Burton offers this translation of a work on sexuality, female sexuality in particular. Selected contents: Concerning women who deserve to be praised; About women who are to be held in contempt; Concerning everything that is favorable to the act of coition; Suindry names given to the sexual part of man; Sundry names given to the sexual organs of women; On the deceits and treacheries of women; Description of the uterus of sterile women, and treatment of the same; Prescriptions for increasing the dimensions of small members, and for making them splendid.
