The Blissful Garden of Sextes Jylis is often found as a set of woodblock printed images accompanying short passages from the Immaculate Texts. The images depict various sexual positions while the text explains techniques for pleasure.

EXCERPTS:
On The Eighteen Ways of Pleasure From Nails of the Hand
At the height of pleasure use of the nails is practiced, scratching or pressing the flesh of one's lover. It is to be done on the following occasions: on the first congress; at the time of setting out on a journey; on the return from a journey; and lastly when reconciling with an angry lover.
The art of nails is of the eight following kinds, according to the marks which they produce:
To touch the chin, the breasts, the nape or the navel of another so softly that no mark is left, yet the hair of the body becomes erect, this is my sister's way.
When a curved mark is made on the breast by means of the five nails, it is called a 'peacock's foot'. This mark is made with the object of being praised, for it requires a great deal of skill to make it properly.
When four marks with the nails are made close to one another near the nipple of the breast, it is called 'the jump of a hare'. To do this to the flank or the hip, together with biting, is best when in the midst of congress.
...
Of the Seventy-Four Ways to Begin and End the Congress
A woman who is very much in love with a man cannot suffer hearing the name of her rival, or to speak of her, or to be addressed by her name in error. These things being done bring about quarrel, and the woman cries, becomes angry, tosses her hair about, strikes her lover, falls from her bed or seat, and, casting aside her flowers and ornaments, throws herself down on the ground.
At this time, the lover should attempt conciliatory words, and should take her up carefully and place her on her bed. But she, not replying to his questions, and with increased anger, should bend down his head by pulling his hair, and having kicked him once, twice, or thrice on his arms, head, bosom or back, should then proceed to the door of the room. After a time, when she thinks that the conciliatory words and actions of her lover have reached their utmost, she should then embrace him, talking to him with harsh and reproachful words, but at the same time showing a loving desire for congress. Thus end the love quarrels.
