Unravelling Tantric Sex

Gone are the days when sex was an act of reproduction or pleasure. It’s broken free of its restrictive definition of ‘the penetration of a vagina by a penis’ and has evolved into something a lot more intense and complex. We’ve grown into mastering the art of connecting on a deeper level, where love and lust collide, making the bond between two souls much stronger. Confused? Fear not, we’ve got you covered.

PICTURE THIS: You’re at a party, a glass of wine in hand, scanning the room. You spot your partner standing by the grand piano and your heart skips a beat. Your hands get cold and your knees feel weak. All you want to do is leave this damn party and head home to an intense session of lovemaking.

The smell of sandalwood lingers in the air, smooth jazz plays softly in the background. Souls are calm and bodies relaxed. You embrace the energy of desire and passion. Your grip tightens, toes curl, lips touch and bodies collide.

This intense feeling of love, passion, and affection isn’t just the stuff of romance novels. You and boo can experience this, too. Imagine being able to touch and speak to each other without uttering a single word.

HI, TANTRIC SEX!

So, how do you even begin to achieve this type of passion? Through a little something called tantric sex. Sexual intercourse is no longer an act of body-on-body pleasure or a prerequisite to building a family. It’s much more than that. It’s the most intimate way two bodies and souls can become one, and tantric sex is no different. All it does is make you slow down and relax enough to feel a sense of intense awareness and control. It teaches you to be present in yourself, as well as with your partner in every possible way.
