"Tantric Sex" : Tantric Sex originates from ancient Hinduism philosophies. You can think of this practice of sex as creating a deep intimate connection with either yourself or your sexual partner. Tantric sex has the aim to be present in the moment and achieve a fulfilling sexual experience. Tantra means to expand your consciousness from ordinary to extraordinary, as self-realization is the ultimate goal, your body(ies) are seen as a living temple and sexual energy is divine. "Tantric sex is a slow, meditative form of sex in which the end goal is to not achieve orgasm but to enjoy the sexual journey through the sensations that fill your body". You may use tantric sexual energy to heal your body or use it for spiritual transformation and enlightenment. Practicing tantric sex may help resolve sexual complications: premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, or anorgasmia. According to Medical News today, " By understanding the desire of one’s own body, one can incorporate this during sex with a partner. This may lead to greater sexual fulfillment and more intense orgasms. While practicing tantric sex, a person should focus on breathing deeply through the diaphragm by taking a deep inhalation through the nose for five counts, feeling the breath inflate in the stomach. You should then exhale through the mouth for five counts. While engaging in tantric sex with a partner, synchronizing your breath together may help to increase your connection and intimacy with each other. Another breathing technique that people can try is called Kapalbhati, which may help prolong ejaculation in males. When a male feels as they are about to ejaculate, they should forcefully exhale through the mouth (Medical News Today). Above, I have pictured two techniques of Tantric Sex. The first is: "The Great Bee" which is like Cowgirl, but the partner on top puts their legs up similar to a squat. This position will allow for thrusting that is really deep but not fast. According to Shape Magazine, It is recommended that the penetrating person tries to make circles, goes back and forth, or tilting side to side, Tantra is not about perfection, it is about connection. The second is: "Yab Yum" a serious, "connection boosting configuration". The partner with the penis (or the penetrating partner) should sit cross-legged on a couch, bed, or floor. The receiving partner with the hole, (pussy or anus) should straddle the partner's lap with legs wrapped around their partner's lower back. "As your partner penetrates you and you're embracing each other, add tantra practices like eye-gazing and in sync breathing," rock back and forth for deep penetration as stated in Shape Magazine.
