How to Experiment with Tantric Sexual Positions

The idea of Tantric sex is to maintain a state of sexual ecstasy for as long as possible. Tantric lovemaking is not result-oriented, but rather timeless and uninhibited. Its teachings are centered around the sustaining of sexual pleasure instead of releasing and finishing as quickly as possible.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Tantric literature
• Condoms

1. Research the art of Tantra and find methods on how to apply it with your sexual partner. You can purchase books, watch videos or search the Internet for information on Tantra.
2. Maintain a deep level of intimacy. Before you begin Tantric sex with your partner, gaze into each other's eyes as much as possible. Sprinkle your lover's face, neck and shoulders with light kisses and whisper words of love and encouragement.
3. Focus on controlling on your breathing. Resist the urge to breathe quickly. Rapid respiration or panting creates arousal, speeding you toward orgasm. Take long, slow, deep breaths from the belly instead, exhaling gradually.
4. Take your time and keep things slow. A long, slow build helps men control orgasm and piques women's arousal. The longer you sustain the process of building energy, the longer men can resist ejaculation. During this time, focus on each other. If your thoughts should wander, gently bring your attention back to the present.
5. Vary your positions to explore your inner passions. Tantra teaches that when lovers release themselves from gender roles, they are free to engage in deeper, more intimate sex. Men realize their sexual potential through surrender, by being soft and open, gentle and vulnerable. Women, in turn, can direct and initiate.

Tips & Warnings

• Try matching your breath to that of your partner, or try breathing alternately—as you inhale, your partner exhales. This moves energy back and forth and connects you to your lover.
• Be open with your partner, and check that your both of you are comfortable and happy with your experimentation.
• Use a condom to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
• Don’t push your partner into doing anything they are not comfortable with.
