Is Tantric Sex simply a technique for making sex last longer?

Is Tantric Sex simply a technique for making sex last longer? Is it a technique to make orgasm more pleasurable, longer and more intense? Or is it something far greater which most people cannot even begin to conceptualize?

For the ordinary individual the idea of an orgasm that can fill your entire body and go on in pulsating bursts for hours on end sounds totally preposterous! But what if this is exactly whatTantric Sex can lead to? What if the orgasm we have all experienced is simply the release of a tiny amount of sexual energy into the genital area which stimulates the many nerve endings located there, thus giving us a pleasurable sensation? What if sexual energy could be controlled and circulated throughout the body to stimulate all nerve endings and thus cause an orgasm that fills the entire body?

Did you know that 40% of your daily energy goes into the production of sperm or eggs. When a man ejaculates he loses an enormous amount of energy and usually becomes tired as a consequence. For a female it is menstruation that leads to a loss of sexual energy but for both the consequences are the same. A huge amount of highly charged sexual energy is lost which could have been used for greater health and pleasure.

Tantric Views on Subtle Body and Elements

Tantric Views on Subtle Body and Elements

The Inner Fire and Inner Water are complimentary and related to the principles of expansion and contraction; male/solar energy and female/lunar energy respectively; as in Taoist Chinese Yang and Yin, or Tibetan Tantric Yab/Yum. The faculties of sight (fire) and taste (water) are characteristic of this expansion/contraction, which manifest erotically in the male and female body during sexual arousal and lovemaking. Fire and Water are seen as inherently orgasmic; and Tantric cosmology's "creation myth" suggests that the Water element must cool the Fire element enough so that life forms are able to emerge without being destroyed before their birth. Similarly, sexual union harmonizes the Inner Fire and Inner Water--and the Creation Potential is manifested, i.e., possible conception of a child. Tantric tradition does not neglect the "mundane" aspects of sexuality, such as simple release; nor does it ignore the more "traditional" concept of sex as procreation, for in actuality, the act of creating a new life is the ultimate sacramental product of heterosexual lovemaking. Rather than the Transcendental Siva/Sakthi Union; when a child is conceived, the Tantric couple rather takes on the aspects of Brahma and Saraswati, the Creative Principles. After the child's birth, Visnu/Laksmi, the Preserver, steps in through the Tantric parents to sustain the child. In the meantime, of course, Siva/Sakthi are still readily accessible to the Tantric couple, whether childless or a "family," leading to transcendence and ultimate Union *as* a couple.

The HEVAJRA-TANTRA, a Buddhist Tantric text, states: "The five Great Elements are physically produced in the body during lovemaking. Through the harmonization of the male and female sexual organs, hardness and erection are produced, calling up the Earth element. From the flow of charged sexual secretions, the Water element emerges; and the Fire element evolves through the passion and physical friction of Jewel and Lotus. The Air element is called forth by the movements of love, and the Ether aroused by the ecstatic Bliss."

Tantric Sex vs. Normal Sex

The main difference between tantric sex and lovemaking as we commonly view it today is this: reaching an orgasm. With regular sex, you have a goal – to reach your climax and that’s it. However, since men and women have different needs, more often than not, one of them (mostly women) do NOT reach their sexual goal (climaxing) and so there is a lot of pent up sexual frustration in today’s relationships. It is thus no wonder that a lot of relationships have underlying stresses.

Consider these common scenarios.

- He reaches his orgasm but she never does, resulting in sexual frustration for her.

- He’s a very caring guy and wants her to experience sexual pleasure but it takes her a long time to ‘come’ and so it’s building up performance anxiety and sexual frustration for him.

In contrast, Tantric sex is not about reaching an orgasm. It’s about union. The main purpose is to connect with your lover in all aspects: heart, mind, body and soul. Does this mean you don’t reach an orgasm with Tantric lovemaking? Of course not!

On the contrary, Tantric sex practitioners swear that they have never had more body-rocking and mind-blowing orgasms before they tuned into to Tantra sex. So don’t worry; you’re in for A LOT of sexual pleasure with this form of spirituality.

Vedic Light and Tantric Energy Yogas

"A number of writers and teachers, particularly in Western academia, have tried to divide the two great traditions of India of Veda and Tantra as different or even contrary. Some Yoga teachers have uncritically taken up this view as well. They see the Vedic tradition as Aryan and patriarchal and the Tantric tradition as non-Aryan and matriarchal. They identify the Vedic tradition with invading Aryans and the Tantric tradition with indigenous Dravidians. They see the Tantric as worshipping the Mother Goddess and the Vedic as rejecting her. They imply that Vedic and Tantric ideas and practices are very different.

Now that the Aryan Invasion theory is severely in question, and the Sarasvati River of Vedic fame, discovered as the main homeland of civilization in ancient India, we should re-examine these views. In my own more than thirty years of studying Vedic and Tantric texts in the original Sanskrit, I have also found remarkable connections between the two traditions.

Vedic and Tantric traditions are one, though with different orientations. The Vedic tradition is an earlier form of the Tantric, which itself is a later development of Vedic practices. Tantric teachings abound in the use of Vedic mantras and the mysticism of the Sanskrit alphabet. They use Vedic fire altars and practices and honour Vedic deities at an inner level. Inner Tantric Yoga reflects the four main Vedic deities of Agni, Soma, Vayu and Surya (the forces of fire, moon, wind and sun)."
