Tantric sex is the fusion between physical and emotional sex – it is billed as the pathway to sexual wellness and wellbeing.
The point of tantric sex is meant to be to channel all of your sexual energy – the energy that would normally lead to an orgasm – and instead of releasing it in the usual way, feed it back into your own body.
Orgasm is not the main objective of Tantra – instead you attempt to prolong sex for as long as possible, revelling in the sexual energy of the act and the intimacy that it creates with your partner. If you focus solely on getting to orgasm, you miss the amazing range of different feelings that the entire act of lovemaking offers.
Tantric sex gurus point out that sexual energy is one of the most powerful types of energy that there is, and that it can create better inner energy and health. They also claim that through making a deeply intimate connection with another human, your stress hormones lower and you produce lots of extra happy hormones such as serotonin.
To engage in Tantra, you need to design a comfortable, intimate space where you and your partner can be both playful and relaxed. The room should be cleared of any clutter that may take away your attention, and decorated with candles, flowers and cosy fabrics. Natural scents and oils should be used, and your bed should be as comfortable as possible. Gentle background music should play to enhance the mood.
Getting started on tantric sex involves harmonising your breath, so that you are totally in sync with your partner. You can straddle your partner’s lap and then inhale as they exhale, and then vice versa. Becoming conscious of one another’s breathing is central to the yogic practices involved with Tantra.
