Tantric Sex Isn't Scary

"Tantric Sex" is one of those phrases, like Astral Projection or Tibetan Meditation, that most of us have heard but few of us can explain in any detail. But really, Tantric Sex isn't as scary or difficult or mystical as it sounds. It's just a way of sharing with your partner and using your body to achieve a richer sexual experience. Here are four easy steps you can take to achieve a tantric-like sexual experience.

Create a Love Space -- Where you make love is an important element in your love sharing being optimally fulfilling. Pick a room free of clutter, try some scented candles, and choose some soothing music. Creating a relaxed, private atmosphere is the first step to achieving prolonged intimacy.

Breathe Together -- At the center of the tantric experience is synchronizing your breath with your partner's. Cuddling closely and breathing in harmony, in and out, is the easiest way to do this. And letting that harmony carry into your love-making will put you on the same ecstatic page.

Open Your Eyes -- By looking into and at each other, you arrive at greater closeness. Soak up your partner's intimate expressions and body movements with your eyes, and let the vision relax and arouse you.

Go Slow -- Extensive foreplay is the way to make your sex more tantric. But there's more to it than that. As you start to make love, concentrate on prolonging each activity. Take your time giving and receiving pleasure in various parts of the body, breathing deeply and slowly, and relishing the journey as much as the destination.

According to the tantric philosophy in Buddhism, each of us is the union of all universal energy. Tapping into that union with someone else is the beginning of tantric bliss.
