Loading...Tantric Sex for Beginners: 4 Easy Tips!

My friend Sean recently wowed me by casually mentioning that he had just attended a three-day tantric sex workshop where the end goal was, well, for no end goal. “The point,” he said, “is to channel all the sexual energy that would normally leave during an orgasm, back into your body. It gives you so much energy!”
Sure enough, achieving the big “O” is not Tantra’s main objective. Instead, you attempt to prolong the act, increasing potent sexual energy and intimacy with your partner. If you focus solely on the grand finale, you’ll miss the amazing range of feeling the rest of the show offers. “Sexual energy is one of our most powerful energies for creating health,” says Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom. “Through the intimate connection with another, our stress hormones lower and our serotonin shoots through the roof.”
Hmmm, I’ve certainly heard of Tantra but besides the Bible-length Kama Sutra, wacky-sounding positions like “lotus” and “jumping spider” and tales of Sting engaging in 36-hour lovemaking sessions, I didn’t know much, let alone that the intimacy is great for our health. “Even without an exhaustive education,” says Wendy Strgar, Care2 columnist and CEO of Good, Clean Love, “the principles behind tantric practice can go a long way in deepening the connection you share with your partner.”

Fascinating thanks 4 the post.
Wish I had that kind of time!
I'd think the straws would melt if used as a lampshade. Thanks for the ideas though.
Yoga (probably Hatha Yoga, to be more precise) should be taught to all from an early age - the accom…

Interesting read
Woo Hoo!
The sex bit isn't the most important thing about Tantra. But practising Tantra is great for your sex life.
Bottom line, you cannot have Tantric sex unless you have been a devout member of a Tantric sect of Buddhism or Hinduism for a very long time. These esoteric rituals are not taught to everyone who walks in the temple doors. Attending mass doesn't make you Catholic, and cooking a Passover seder doesn't make you Jewish.
this could be really useful with my new partner, THANKS! ;)
My partner has been practicing tantric sex for the past 25 years, just wish it would not last so long. It is being able to express yourself through intimacy with the one you love.
Sometime I think I will keep my comments private but 910 comments that alone say a lot about whats in peoples minds
Lots of comments, too many to go thru. Sounds like some are impressed, others not even skeptical. Well I might wish to have a partner, but I enjoy it on my own. Really living is about doing the best you can with what you have- and maybe venturing a little into the unknown. Fear is a good motivator.
Drivel.
Man oh Man....
If you needed to read this to figute these four steps out you are doomed.
