Hazel's HOTmail: Something New

Dear Hazel,
What can you tell me about Tantra or Tantric Sex?

A.W. in Florida

Dear A.W.
The word "Tantra" is Sanskrit for "weaving" or "expansion". Tantrism is a philosophy and way of life that includes the conscious and creative utilization of sexual energy to achieve liberation from the limits of the individual self. It allows a heightened awareness of the bliss and joy of each moment not only in sex but also in all of life, according to Divine Sex by Caroline Aldred. It is more than a just sexual experience. It is a state of spiritual ecstasy. The goal is to not only achieve orgasm but to also pleasure your lover and to connect with him or her completely.
According to Discovery Health, the Tantric tradition emphasizes preparation for lovemaking. Erotic rituals that include creating an inviting atmosphere, harmonized breathing and erotic touching, focus on exchanging pleasures, awakening the senses and allowing couples to communicate on deep physical and emotional levels.
Tantra distinguishes between the experiences of orgasm and ejaculation. Although they often happen at the same time, men are capable of having orgasms without ejaculating. Exercising control allows Tantric lovers to extend orgasm therefore enabling both men and women to achieve multiple orgasm.

In addition to the emotional and spiritual benefits of Tantra, there are also many physical health benefits. Tantra’s belief in G-spot stimulation in women is said to help lessen migraine headaches and make menstrual cramps less painful, just to name a few. It also helps prevent premature ejaculation in men.
Intimacy is key for Tantric lovers. Get to know yourself more intimately as well as your lover by focusing on what feels good and I think you’ll be well on your way. Any journey that promises to make the sexual experience more full and complete is definitely worth taking.
