Tantric
Sex is this month's
topic.
In today's world, time is
at a premium. Couples spend most of their time juggling hectic work
schedules, driving kids to and from baseball games, doctor's appointments
and band lessons, and doing household chores leaving little time for
intimacy. Intimate relations are usually an afterthought at the end of the
day and sex becomes a brief and boring routine.
Thousands of couples
seeking to recapture the passion and romance in their relationship and add
variety to their sexual routine have discovered tantric sex. Nicknamed the
science of ecstasy, tantric sex focuses on heightening and prolonging the
special awareness and rapport that exists between lovers during
lovemaking. It is a deeply physical experience - not just a momentary
physical sensation - that unites couples in an intense physical, spiritual
and emotional bond. Practitioners describe the intensity of a tantric
orgasm as a cosmic or divine experience that has incredible spiritual
meaning.
For centuries, cultures
have recognized sex as one of the greatest creative forces of the universe
and can only be truly appreciated by realizing its full potential. The art
of prolonging the pleasures of lovemaking without reaching orgasm were
written down in the Kama Sutra, the Hindu sex manual written in the fourth
century. Recent interest in the philosophy of Tantric sex has led couples
to explore Kama Sutra in more detail.
Tantrics believe that prolonging
sexual arousal and channeling sexual energy to the brain rewards lovers
with intense new levels of pleasure. Through extensive physical, sexual
and mental exertion, couples learn to heighten their senses and focus
their sexual energy to achieve this state of ecstasy. Tantric theory holds
that sexual energy passes through seven parts of the body known as
chakras. The seven regions of the body are: the genitals, below the navel,
solar plexus, heart, throat, between the eyebrows and the crown of the
head. Energy produced by sexual arousal is channeled to each of the seven
chakras to produce an intense, full-body orgasm. After a period of slow
and thoughtful practice, couples learn to comfortably extend the time of
lovemaking and welcome the experience of sexuality and sensuality as a
conscious meditation.
Couples engaging in
Tantric sex begin by touching each of their partner's seven chakras to
bring them in sync and feel their sexual energy. Couples then sit together
naked without genital stimulation to show affection without expressing
sexual rewards. Next, couples engage in deep breathing exercises to
energize their bodies for sexual activity, followed by a full-body
massage. To release any remaining stress or tension, couples may choose to
dance or practice a series of freestyle movements. After setting the scene
for the lovemaking ritual, couples choose a number of positions for
intercourse including yab yum (woman sit on lover's lap with legs behind
him), male superior, sitting or female superior while continuing to resist
the urge to orgasm.
During subsequent cycles
of resting and entering the vagina, the male will rest his penis just
outside the vagina. During the rest times, the couple might lie silently
together, or gently caress each other as they focus on the experience of
their union. Throughout this experience, both partners may be highly
aroused, hovering close to the point of reaching orgasm. After suppressing
their sexual urges for an extended period of time, couples finally achieve
an intense full-body orgasm that flows physical and emotional energy into
a unparalleled state of ecstasy.
