Babe, in this article, I introduce you to this ancient eastern practice and share 3 easy steps on how to have epic tantric sex.

In Sanskrit, tantra means “to unite” or “to weave.” It illustrates the belief that everything is interconnected. Nothing exists independently, and everything is part of the same reality. In this regard, tantric sex brings two loving partners together on all levels. When you practice tantric sex, you connect on a physical, emotional, and mental level. You recreate the union between the feminine and the masculine. Sex becomes art. It becomes meaningful.

Tantric sex brings two loving partners together on all levels.

Tantric sex is the opposite of a “quickie.” It is long and sensual. It is conscious and intimate. It is not a race but an experience of greater intimacy and connection.

Tantric sex is good for you if you would like to:

  • preserve energy during love-making by slowing down and not ejaculating;
  • bring more novelty into your love-making;
  • connect or reconnect with your partner

When you practice tantric sex, you connect on a physical, emotional, and mental level.

So, here are 3 steps on how to have tantric sex.

Step #1: Prepare the Scene

You want to prepare your tantric temple. Have silky bed sheets, feathers, and other objects that will help stimulate each other. Include items in the room that have meaning for you, such as photos or objects from nature. Have some fruits or chocolates handy to enhance the senses.

Soften the lights or light candles. Adjust the room temperature, and play a relaxing or sensual music playlist. This background music is my favorite.

Step #2: Get Ready

Have a shower or a bath, and put on some nice underwear.

Then, start to connect and play with your partner. Wake up the senses by offering each other a massage, a cuddle, a sensual stroke, or a kiss. Slowly raise sexual energy. Start playing with this energy, allowing it to rise up and down again. Caress, stroke, lick, touch, kiss. Tease and enjoy each other.

I recommend not to speak during the time you dedicate for tantric sex. You can make an exception to share intentions, loving words, and sounds of pleasure.

Step #3: Experiment with Tantric Rituals and Sex Positions

Rituals are an important part of tantra. Here, I will introduce you to 5 techniques that you can experiment with during tantric sex.

Technique #1: Breath

Focusing on your breathing helps to put you in the moment and make you more mindful. It also moves energy within your body.

Sit on the bed, face your partner, look into each other’s eyes, and breathe. Get in touch with your lover’s rhythm. As you breathe in and out, pay attention to match their rhythm.

When you continue to breathe together, you’ll grow closer, more relaxed, and more in tune. The more attuned you are, the more aware and connected you’ll become.

Technique #2: Slow Down

This means that if you would normally do 30 strokes of something, dilute it to three in the same period of time. Tantric sex is not for impatient people. It is not a race to the finish. Tantric sex is slow and purposeful, yet fun.

Tantra experts will practice slow lovemaking for hours upon hours but let’s be honest. If you are trying tantric sex, you might not have the patience to devote so much time. Don’t worry, relax. It is okay.

The idea is to not rush, to enjoy yourself, and to get as highly aroused as you can.

You can get better at slowing down by practicing what tantra experts call the “Daily Devotion”. The way it works is you and your partner spoon every day in the morning with her lying in front of you. Insert your penis into her vagina and keep it there for 5 to 10 minutes. Stay there, breathing together. Don’t make any movement. Let your partner squeeze your penis, then feel what happens.

Technique #3: Eye Gazing Ritual

In tantra, we use eye gazing as the gateway into the soul. It puts you into a deep, altered state with someone and is a powerful tool to connect with your partner. Yes, doggy style isn’t the best place to start if you’re looking to have a tantric sex life.

Sit down and look into each other’s eyes with your palms facing up. Keep eye contact while paying attention to your breath. You should breathe at the same pace as your partner. It will take you no longer than 10 minutes to achieve harmonized breathing.

Gaze into each other’s eyes for some time before you try out other techniques.

Technique #4: Undulate

Undulate your body and create a wavelike motion with your body.

Move your pelvis and PC muscle- the muscle you use to stop the flow of urine. Imagine the energy that’s in your genitals moving up your spine, into the rest of your body, then onto your partner’s body.

Technique #5: Yab Yum Position

This is a classic position in tantra and probably what comes to your mind when you imagine this practice.

Sit with your legs crossed or extended. Let your woman mount you, with her legs wrapped around your waist. Your cock can easily penetrate the pussy in this position.

This tantric sex position is not so much about having intercourse. It is about embracing each other, shared breathing, and passionate kissing.

So now you know how to have tantric sex in 3 steps and 5 techniques. Keep in mind that the two keywords of tantric sex are:

  • conscious;
  • slow

Dedicate enough time; book at least 4 hours in your calendar and commit to them. Remain present during your lovemaking experience.

I encourage you to practice tantric sex once a week, just as you would dedicate time for a date.
