A fifteenth-century Arabic sex manual and work of erotic literature. The book presents opinions on what qualities men and women should have to be attractive, gives advice on sexual technique, warnings about sexual health, and recipes to remedy sexual maladies.

"Your religion resides in your vulva, and the manly member is your soul."

A book about sex, with various positions, advices, medical hints, and anecdotes. Sounds like a run of the mill sex education book right?
