Tantra

Tantra is an ancient spiritual practice originating in India that encompasses various traditions and techniques aimed at harnessing sexual energy for personal and spiritual growth. In the context of sexuality, tantra involves mindful, slow, and intentional sexual practices that emphasize the connection between partners, breath work, and energy flow. It's often described as a way to achieve higher states of consciousness through sexual union.

Additional Information

While tantra is often associated with sex in Western culture, it's important to note that traditional tantra is a broader spiritual practice that includes meditation, yoga, and ritual. Modern interpretations of tantra, sometimes called "neotantra," focus more explicitly on sexual practices. Tantric sex typically involves extended foreplay, eye gazing, synchronized breathing, and mindful touch, with the goal of prolonging pleasure and creating a deeper connection between partners.
