At first glance, Tantric sex may seem too esoteric and inaccessible to be useful. After all, were a techno-quickie culture and such an ancient, time-consuming, and obscure sexual art couldnt have anything to offer todays busy coupleor could it?

In public, sex is everywhere. Its on billboards, TV, the Internet... you name it. Yet in private, many couples suffer a lack of sexual fulfillment, often buying into the quick fix, be it medication, the latest sex toy, or a designer weekend retreat. But quick fixes always break, and while popular culture gets rich by selling this kind of fast-food sex, couples are clearly in need of something more nourishing.

Emerging from the ancient East, Tantric sex has been embraced by some in the modern Western world as a way to nourish the intimate bond between a couple on all levels, including physical, emotional, sexual, and spiritual. During Tantric sex, lovers harness sexual energy to merge not only with each others bodies and beings, but also with the divine cosmic consciousness. Every moment of sexual contact is considered orgasmic, not just the final release, and lovers bask in each ecstatic moment of togetherness.

With all the stresses and disconnections facing the modern couple, Tantric sexual practices are perhaps more relevant today than ever. So forget the fast-food fixes and try a taste of Tantra instead. It just may be your path to spiritual joy, sexual bliss, and lasting love.

Tantra is an ancient, esoteric, Eastern-based belief system that originated in India and dates back thousands of years B.C. Hinduism and Buddhism feature Tantric writings and ideologies, as well as such Tantric practices as yoga, meditation, visualization, ritual, transformative touch, and spiritual sex. Tantra, a Sanskrit word, has been interpreted to mean a loom or to weave. Such definitions speak to the fundamental Tantric concept of continuity between an individuals energy and the universal energy.

As Tantra has gained popularity in the West, its interpretation and expression have evolved. Often touted as Neo-Tantra or New Age Tantra, the focus in the West has largely been on Tantras principle of spiritual sexuality as a way for couples to bring more meaning and pleasure to lovemaking.

In so doing, they reach a state of ecstasy that is a sacred experience. Sex therefore has a spiritual dimension, leading Tantric lovers to boast that it is the ultimate religious experience!

Balancing the bodys chakras or energy centers, meditation, breath control and synchronicity, intimacy rituals, erotic exploration, and climax control are some practices in Tantric Sex: Reference to Go.

Theory

In Tantra, sexual union merges the masculine and feminine forces in the universe by bringing together Shiva, the Hindu god, and Shakti, the Hindu goddess. When the separate energies of these entities unite, they assume wholeness and commune with the cosmic consciousness. In the same way, when a mortal man and woman come together sexually, they become one with each other and the cosmos.

Because Tantric sex worships and pleasures the feminine as much as the masculine, it has helped many women achieve harmonious sex lives. The unique and egalitarian sexual union experienced during Tantric sex leaves lovers with profound respect, understanding, and enjoyment of each other, thereby strengthening the integrity of intimate relationships. , illustrates one method that Tantric lovers use to achieve this personaland passionateutopia.

Theory

During traditional lovemaking, most couples are focused on the goalorgasm and ejaculation. Foreplay is optional and distinct from actual sex, with the objective being to reach climax, often as quickly as possible: hence the quickie.
