Of ...I have experienced both, like most of us have. Of course, it's a small subset of the American population that have been exposed to or experimented with the kind of sexuality that is taught in conjunction with the tantric view of human sexual energy. I don't find the "tantric" variety needs to be exclusive or only reserved for a long term partner. <br /><br />The tantric sexual bond is more about discovering how deeply we can connect with another human being and celebrating that moment as people on a journey together. It's a sensation of experiencing the divine through this most creative of human endeavors. It's about how we can "melt" into another human's physical space and really feel the joy of their humanity, at a deeper level than just connecting genitally and physically. At least, that's my take on it.<br /><br />Obviously this sort of sexual bond can be very helpful in forming the kind of total connection we want in a life partnership. But it doesn't feel "wrong" with someone to whom we don't have the same investment in. There is a unique joy we have with anyone we are intimate with, at least in 98% of cases. But with someone we really value as a lover, BFF, or strong social friend. Having that additional experience of an exquisite, toe-curling, out-of-body passionate moment doesn't need to take away anything at all from our primary lover/partner.<br /><br />I see it as a bonus. I would like my 'mate' to have those blessings of moments that have burned an image of ecstasy in their memories. It doesn't need to be a threat, at least in an environment of openness, which obviously you (J&K) have in abundance.<br /><br />Those connections where I have taken my "tantra training" to heart are when I have felt a blending with that woman that are profound at many levels. I feel like I don't quite know where I stop and they begin. It's this entwining of mind, body, and spirit that leaves one breathless, even after remembering all my breathing exercises :-)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
