Beschreibung des Verlags
Kiss of the Yogini: "Tantric Sex" in Its South Asian Contexts. By DAVID GORDON WHITE. CHICAGO: UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS, 2003. Pp. xix + 372, 28 illus. $45. Perhaps the easiest way to begin a review of this remarkable book is to identify the meaning of the title, "Kiss of the Yogini." The first reference comes at the beginning of chapter 2 (p. 28) and is a citation from the Caryagiti, a seventh-century C.E. Buddhist tantric text.
