Full Body Arousal

Thousands of years ago, there flourished in India and parts of Asia a spiritual tradition we now call Tantra. In this and other sex positive cultures, sophisticated lovemaking skills were developed as a science and as an art. Begin your journey with this brief history of Tantra, and prepare for your ecstatic learning.

The wisdom of the East teaches us that the body is the temple of the soul. The Art of Love is recognized as one of the 64 arts, and a celebration of divine energy. We can determine the amount of pleasure we allow ourselves to welcome--the intense, sustained ecstasy that is our human birthright.

Tantra lovers use ritual to enhance their lovemaking, to give meaning to actions and strength to intentions. The couple witnessed here has practiced Tantra for seven years. Their purpose is not to reach a goal but to deepen their erotic embodiment, which always happens in the present moment. The two lovers bathe each other, breathe together, gaze into each other’s eyes, and caress each other's bodies. Ritual sex often lasts for hours. Tantric love expert Robert Frey offers teaching.

Master's and Johnson's scientific description of orgasm is compared with dozens of Tantric orgasm variations. In Tantra’s more sophisticated view, sexual climaxes are built one upon the other, culminating in extended simultaneous orgasm that can last for minutes or hours. Western sexologists have only recently begun to understand this orgasmic potential as part of our human birthright. In this clip, oral sex and hand sex are demonstrated as ways to begin awakening orgasmic energy. Another couple begins lovemaking with a full body massage. In the Tantric model, shown here in a special teaching by Sexual Secrets authors Nik Douglas and Penny Slinger, we see a completely different view of human sexual possibilities.

One of the most powerful teachings of Tantra for those of us in the twenty-first century is to slow down our lovemaking. Expanding and deepening our sexual experiences takes time. Too many of us have efficient sex. In this clip, we are encouraged to savor each moment, stretching out our lovemaking into a dance with no beginning and no end.

Touching the scalp, head and neck can be incredibly arousing. Invite your partner to express pleasure with their entire body.

Tantric lovers communicate about how they are experiencing their bodies. With words and silence, lovers tell about their sensations and feelings. The only way for your lover to know what's really going on inside of you, how this or that move feels, is for you to tell them. Each of us is responsible for our own sexual fulfillment. When we clearly ask for what we really want, the truth is we are very likely to get it.

Several techniques for massaging the spine from the shoulders to the sacrum include kneading, breathing, drumming, and blowing on your partner.

Explicit demonstrations show men in blissful states with complete control over their ejaculations. Tantra teaches how to have profound experiences of orgasm without ejaculation. This is best learned by separating the roles of giving and receiving in sex, and in learning to stay relaxed in high states of arousal. The man focuses his attention on the pleasure of fully receiving erotic stimulation from his partner. When you choose not to ejaculate, the orgasmic experience can go on and on. Surfing is an apt analogy for the extended orgasmic experience for men. The essence of the surfing experience is to be able to catch a wave and to stay right at the edge of the steepest part of the wave without going over the top or out the bottom.
