Tantra

[Glamguy7]

Is there anybody here who have explored Tantra in real life or even energetically?

I have heard how exploring it in the right spirit can gift you with a deeper spiritual connection with everything! Whether it is the oneness with your partner, or the subtle way the chakra centers of the body fire up, raising the kundalini energy from the base chakra to the top of the head.....exploding in the orgasm of light....this...is something I wish to experience. I did experience it energetically a couple of times with somebody I was in deep love with in a long distance relationship . Would love to learn more.

Tantric Sex - Tantra as a invoker of spiritual oneness is something I am curious about. But I am aware that only a few might understand this magic.

Do feel free to share in here or reach out if that suits you.

Bump! Is this a bit unknown here?

Got into it a long time ago and remember trying several positions with the wife. It was fun but we did not get to far into it.

 

[Glamguy7]

Hmm I see. Thanks for sharing @Wildfly11 .But does it have a deeper spiritual side? Have you experienced that deeper one-ness, a kind of Universal depth when exploring the higher aspects of Tantra (not just positions as a sexual act) ?

 

[Wildfly11]

Not I!!! Maybe if you're into it for a long time with someone who is in the same wave length. Hopefully someone is able to answer your questions.

To an extent, yes, but I wouldn't say my involvement with tantra was quite to the extent of making me especially knowledgeable, especially as it wasn't what anyone would call "traditional". Eastern tantra blended with western ceremonial magic, a la Kenneth Grant.

In my experience, it can be intense, both as a spiritual experience and simply from the physical standpoint, but finding partners who are enthusiastically invested in the practice can be a challenge, depending on your social climate.

I suppose somebody who is experienced in it both on the physical and spiritual spectrum, would be a beautiful person to learn from...

Isn’t it basically slow sensual foreplay and orgasm denial ?

Not that I ever tried it

Physically, that covers a lot of it in very general terms. But, there's also aspects that lean more into the spiritual and mental facets of yoga/meditation. Your mental focus plays a role, which can include things like mantras, sacred images, ritual settings, music, and so on. There's a derivative form of "tantra" that's just fancy sex, but that's like calling the version of yoga done in LA yoga studios "real yoga". In both cases, you're looking at a largely physical practice derived from a broader spiritual context. In real tantra, sex is simply a tool/vehicle for spiritual development. It isn't the focus.

An analogy more familiar to western minds would be to look at the Catholic Mass and say that its basically drinking wine and eating crackers. From outside, yes, that's exactly what it looks like. But, to the Catholic, there's a vast and significant spiritual component which is the true purpose. The wine and communion wafer at just instruments for the spiritual experience of the mass.

Oh no! Tantra is more than that. There are only a few western treatises about it that brings out the true beauty and resplendency about Tantra. Tantra is a amalgamation of the physical and spiritual (spiritual first mostly..) which in the physical is deeply healing, aligns the chakras (energy centers) in impossible ways, opens up the greater purpose among individuals exploring this niche, specifically sexual energy that imbues in it a rather sacred natural energy when explored with the right consciousness. It is not slow sensual foreplay and no, it is not orgasm denial. It raises the sexual energy higher.........!!

Very beautifully presented @IrreverendBoob! I loved this.

I was going to start a new thread on the fetish and sexuality forum. But maybe there are people here too.

My wife and I have been practicing orgasm control for many years now. I do cum occasionally and we have pretty regular sex.

But we have had some sessions this last week that have been tantric. We are not trained in it, only what we’ve read and what my wife knows from yoga.

I am sure we’re not doing things all “correctly.”

i have not cum in two weeks and I came back from a business trip. The timing was not right, but finally yesterday morning we had a very nice, tender and somewhat vigorous sex session. She came several times and that’s usually my goal. My other goal is not to ejaculate. This keeps the focus and attention on her and ultimately makes things better for me. When we are having sex, and I’m close to ejaculating, I will back off or edge inside of her. It takes me a long time to ejaculate anyway, but our sex sessions tend to be fairly long - at least 30 minutes but usually more like 45.

Not cumming seems counterintuitive, but for us it has open doors over the last several years to reach pleasure that I’ve never known before!

After our sex session yesterday, I did not ejaculate. But my wife put some stretchy cock bands around my cock and balls, and gave me a slow, maddening, edging hand job. When I was close, either she could tell or I would communicate to her to back off. She had me focusing on my chakra areas: between my eyes, my throat, my solar plexus, and my sacral area and moved her hand from some area to the other.

She masturbated me and had me focus on my breathing and I had many orgasms. Not ejaculatory ones, but full body ones. It was quite intense and after the sex act actually happens is when all the good energy seems to come out lying in bed.

Similar situation this morning, she did not want to have sex, but she lovingly hand jobbed me. Did not let me come and every time I was close, slow down or took her hand off. I was really focusing on my breathing and afterwards when she was done,is when the magic began. We held hands and drifted to sleep, although I was seeing different colors: a dark green and a dark blue mixed together.

Afterwards, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I was still having full body orgasms and just breathing and going with it.

We are attending a Tantric workshop for a couple couples and a couple of weeks to learn more…
