Tantric Sex

Tantric sex is a form of sexual expression that goes beyond the physical act itself and incorporates the mental and spiritual connection that two lovers can experience when they are engaged in sex. It involves learning how to prolong the sexual act, and at the same time, intensifying the release when it is finally allowed to come. Tantric sex practitioners believe that they can reach a place of perfect and beautiful union when they are joined through their genitals. They believe that sex goes beyond just the physical pleasure that comes from an orgasm, but is a means of expressing love for the other person as well.

Historically, the tantric practice has its roots in Indian culture. Practitioners were called Tantrikas. They would spend years learning how to purify their body and their mind under a spiritual teacher. The goal was to become pure enough to be a conduit for the spiritual and psychic energies which would flow through the body and help the person to achieve a higher state of consciousness. When they were fully trained and ready, each practitioner would take part in a sexual ceremony where they had sex with a partner of the opposite sex. It was believed that men and women could join in tantric sex in order to form a perfect union of the opposite halves of man and woman. In the moments that they were joined, they aimed to achieve a wholeness of spirit that they could never reach on their own.

Although much of the mysticism involved in tantric sex has not quite translated to Western practitioners, those who have learned the techniques acknowledge that there are incredible benefits to tantric sex - and not just when it comes to physical pleasure. Couples who practice tantric sex not only enjoy incredibly strong orgasms, but they enjoy a level of physical and emotional intimacy with their partner that surpasses the norm. The connections they develop physically are intertwined with those that they develop mentally and emotionally so that they become a closer couple in more than one sense of the word.

Learning how to have tantric sex takes a commitment from both partners. They must be willing to take the time and enter into the study and practice of sex that mastering tantric sex requires. The practice of tantric sex involves learning how to breathe properly and learning how to position themselves properly during sex, but it is more than that. They must also learn how to connect with each other and how to "ride" the power of sexual energy to what is believed to be a higher plane of consciousness. Both of you will have to learn how to move together like you never have before and will have to become incredibly in tune so that you are able to read your partner's body language and to understand when it is time to slow down in order to prolong the ecstasy of your experience. In fact, one of the major tenets of tantric sex is that of prolonging the time until orgasm. By nearing the level of ecstasy, but then pulling back before orgasm is actually reached, the couple pushes a little higher in intensity each time they do this. In the end, the final orgasm can be incredibly intense and more pleasurable than either partner has ever experienced before.

Although it is not as complicated as it may seem, the practice of tantric sex does require just that - practice. Luckily, you'll find it to be a very enjoyable skill to practice. There are several possibilities for you and your partner to pursue, depending on what you are both comfortable with. Many people find that the easiest way to learn is to take a course that is offered by a professional practitioner. That way they will receive 'hands on' instruction and can learn at a faster rate than if they tried to learn on their own. However, there are a number of DVDs and books that can provide excellent instruction as well. Try the instruction book, "The Art of Tantric Sex," or the DVD "The Tantric Guide to Better Sex," both available at www.tantra.com.

As part of increasing the level of intimacy between partners, there tantric massage, also called tantramassage or erotic massage, is a way for you to be physically close to your partner that is not directly involving sex. Unlike some forms of sensual massage, seduction is not the goal of the efforts and techniques that are used. (Although sexual intercourse may very well follow because you will feel so connected to your partner.) In fact, some people would argue that there is not goal in tantric massage other than the practice of becoming more connected to your partner. Techniques can be learned that will not only allow you to deliver pleasure to your partner, but to also learn to read his or her reactions to your touch so that you can then apply such uses to your sex life as well. This form of massage is often part of tantric sex courses or lessons, or can be learned on their own.
