Tantric sex is an ancient Hindu and Buddhist practice that has been enjoyed for over 5,000 years. Tantra, a Sanskrit word meaning 'to expand, spin out, weave together', places sex as a central part of a healthy life and a happy relationship. Practising Tantric Sex helps you prolong the act of making love to attain a perfect sense of bliss and union. Practitioners - otherwise known as Tantrikas - believe sexual ecstasy is a taste of heaven and that if you heighten and extend the act of love, you deepen intimacy between partners. They also claim that Tantric sex not only significantly improves your all-round health but also promotes a sense of inner peace and harmony. Tantric Sex explores this ancient Eastern form of lovemaking with a modern eye and provides readers with all the essential information required to enjoy a supreme sex life - to slow down the act of love, to please yourself and your partner, and make sex more spontaneous, varied and exciting. Tantric Sex will also help budding Tantrikas attain spiritual enlightenment. The basic principles of Tantric sex are covered. You can achieve an elevated state of sexual awareness by sharing intimate moments. Meditation, varied sex positions, breathing, ritual and touch all play a strong part in this highly sensual form of lovemaking, and these techniques are described. Tantric sex isn't 'goal oriented'; instead of focusing simply on the Big O, practitioners concentrate on the whole act of love, making foreplay and sex play before and after orgasm far more important - and far more prolonged. The main core of the book will show how to control and maximize your pleasure, with both men and women able to enjoy multiple orgasms in each session, making it an essential and comprehensive practical guide.
