Although Tantra has long been practiced in many oriental cultures, it has not been known in our country about this philosophical system for too long.
Tantra implies not only the physical unification of people, but also spiritual closeness, unity of partners. It should be noted that a session of tantric sex is not a quick process. To achieve spiritual unity, sometimes it takes from two to ten hours.
Originating in India, Tantra emerged as a response to religious politics, which rejected sex as an obstacle to attaining enlightenment. Tantra is a challenge thrown by religion, a way to prove that sexuality is the same method of achieving spiritual harmony as other sacred acts. The male and female principle in Tantra is called Shiva and Shakti.
Tantric sexual practice teaches how to prolong the act of love and use the energy of orgasm more effectively. Tantra strengthens health both physically and spiritually.
According to the doctor of medical sciences, the author is the book "The Female Body. Women's wisdom "Christian Northrop, if we use sexual energy consciously, we can activate the true source of youth and vitality.
The Art of Tantra
In the average male ejaculation occurs 2-5 minutes after the onset of sexual intercourse, experienced tantrists specially tighten the culmination to fully enjoy the process of love. In ancient times, the process of tantric coition took place in temples specially designed for this purpose. Tantra teaches the art of maximizing pleasure, so that women and men can experience several orgasms during one sexual intercourse.
Leading teachers of Tantra say that even those people who experience premature ejaculation can learn, prolong their orgasms, and in time receive multiple enjoyment.
Recommendations of experts
A full stomach can interfere with the process of sharing sexual energy, because experts do not recommend eating tight before a Tantra session. Some recommend even sitting for a week on a diet consisting of cereals. Immediately before intimate affinity, aphrodisiacs, such as ginger, cinnamon, chocolate, citrus, coffee, apples and almonds, will not interfere.
What is important
In Tantra, it is not the sexual act itself that is important, but the attentive attitude of the partners to each other, feelings and sensations. There are no sudden movements that could lead to premature ejaculation. And even more so, in tantric sex there is no place for passion. Simultaneous pleasure is the main goal.
Extraneous thoughts and sensuality
During the session of tantric love, all extraneous thoughts will only interfere with the process, so unwashed dishes, unassembled flat and thoughts of work, postpone for later. Your head should be occupied only by a loved one.
Adherents of Tantric love recommend to develop sensuality in order that sensations were sharper and fuller. To do this you will need pieces of cloth of different texture, for example, leather, cotton, suede, jeans, silk and corduroy. You need to relax, discard all thoughts and focus on your feelings, touching pieces of tissue and guessing what exactly is in your hands.
