The Perfumed Garden of the Cheikh Nefzaoui: A Manual of Arabian Erotology

Written in the 16th Century, this volume is one of the oldest texts on the subject of erotica. Providing a fascinating look into the sexual customs and behavior of Arabia in the Middle Ages, much like the Kama Sutra reflects ancient Hindu culture, this work has been translated into English by the renowned explorer Sir Richard F. Burton, and explicitly sings the praises of intimacy.
