Tantra, translated from Sanskrit to mean "tools for expansion", originated in
India over 1,500 years ago and is essentially a set of practices and instructions
designed to connect us with our inner energy and emotions, thereby allowing us
to become more aware of the energy around us. Tantra encourages us to explore
sexual energy to meet these ends.
The goal of Tantric sex is not necessarily to achieve orgasm, but rather to enrich
the entire sexual encounter by allowing us to experience more variety and depth
in our sexuality.
Frequently, Western approaches to improving our sex lives encourage us to
evaluate and alter external components of ourselves and our lives. For example,
we are constantly told through advertisements (frequently through sexual
imagery) that we will be happier and more attractive, and, therefore, will have
more fulfilling lives if we would just lose weight, gain muscle, drive a nicer car
or buy a better perfume or cologne. Tantric sex, in contrast, ignores all of those
external, materialistic characteristics and encourages us to become better lovers
and better partners, thus achieving more fulfilling sexual experiences through
reciprocity of intention and desire to please.
The benefits to practicing Tantra can be phenomenal. Some men are able to
reach unlimited multiple orgasms in one encounter, as opposed to single
ejaculations that signal the end of an interaction. In fact, ejaculation as an end
goal of sex can possibly become obsolete because so much pleasure is
experienced during the act of making love in and of itself. In this way, sex can
last for several hours and the heightened emotional, physical and spiritual
connection between lovers is amplified.
Some have reported being able to come to orgasm by simply looking at and
thinking about the object of their affection -- touching is optional. Still others
have become so skilled in the art of Tantra that they have led completely
fulfilled sex lives going months at a time without ejaculating, even while having
sex every single day!
The more a person -- be they male or female -- engages in sex but refrains from
ejaculating, the more energy they retain as opposed to experiencing the loss of
energy that regularly occurs (especially for men) when ejaculate is released.
After Tantric sex, people report experiencing more energy and vitality and
couples describe overall increased satisfaction with the duration, intensity and
quality of their sex lives.
