The Perfumed Garden
The Perfumed Garden was written by the Shaykh Umar ibn Muhammed al-Nefzawi in the 16th century. Like the Kama Sutra,
it is best described as a 'better sex' manual with a spiritual influence. It combines practical advice on sexual positions,
methods of pleasuring, pregnancy, and sexual hygiene, with verses praising sex as a gift from God.
The text also includes praiseworthy qualities of men & women, plus two insightful and humorous chapters
on the names of male and female sex organs.
