For centuries, cultures have recognized sex as one of the greatest creative forces of the universe and can only be truly appreciated by realizing its full potential. The art of prolonging the pleasures of lovemaking without reaching orgasm were written down in the Kama Sutra, the Hindu sex manual written in the fourth century. Recent interest in the philosophy of Tantric sex has led couples to explore Kama Sutra in more detail. Tantrics believe that prolonging sexual arousal and channeling sexual energy to the brain rewards lovers with intense new levels of pleasure. Through extensive physical, sexual and mental exertion, couples learn to heighten their senses and focus their sexual energy to achieve this state of ecstasy.
Tantric theory holds that sexual energy passes through seven parts of the body known as chakras.
Energy produced by sexual arousal is channeled to each of the seven chakras to produce an intense, full-body orgasm. After a period of slow and thoughtful practice, couples learn to comfortably extend the time of lovemaking and welcome the experience of sexuality and sensuality as a conscious meditation. Couples engaging in Tantric sex begin by touching each of their partner's seven chakras to bring them in sync and feel their sexual energy. Couples then sit together naked without genital stimulation to show affection without expressing sexual rewards. Next, couples engage in deep breathing exercises to energize their bodies for sexual activity, followed by a full-body massage.
