Define it please.
The word tantra is a Sanskrit word meaning “woven together”. Tantric Sex is a Hindu practice and sexual ritual that mixes meditation and non-orgasmic sex to attain a state of perfect bliss. Sounds deep right?
Well yes, but what is tantric sex really? Simply stated, it is the opposite of a “quickie”. There is no race to get to the orgasm finish line. There is no more obsessing about when you will finally reach climax. Whew!
The goal of practicing tantric sex is to develop ways of delaying orgasm and manipulating the ability to control climax. Practitioners claim the key to successfully delaying orgasm is by having slow sex with your partner, controlling your breathing, and keeping mentally focused.
What do I get out of it?
Practitioners believe that tantric sex can significantly improve physical health, sexual passion, partner communication and feelings of inner peace and harmony. Couples may at the very least find it a refreshing change from their normal sex routine.
So how do we learn what to do?
Learning correct tantra techniques is crucial for a positive experience. Couples can learn tantric sex techniques in a variety of ways and settings. The most popular include tantric workshops, private tantric couple sessions, tantra vacations, and books & videos on tantric sex technique.
