Tantric Sex: Making Love Last

I have read many books on Tantra and this book seems to me the most authentic in that it explains the importance of true intimacy and the exchange of energy in a straightforward way. it is not just a 98 ways to have sex manual. There are anecdotes, but they dont get in the way of the information. I really like this book.

I sat down at the bookstore and browsed four titles on Tantric Sex. I found this book to have the best combination of the factors that I was looking for. Namely, it is well-written, it provides a simple introduction to the history and meaning of Tantra and associated concepts, and most of all, it's practical. I wanted a book that provides a context for understanding Tantric Sex as much as one that will provide exercises for me and my partner to explore together. If you want a book that goes into the deeper cosmology of Tantra this is not the book for you.

I disagree strongly with the previous reviewer, but I'm just learning about Tantra and he (Colin) sounds well-read on the subject. "Tantric Sex," emphasizes relationships, intimacy, and making sex sacred. I've seen a few other books on the subject that make Tantric sex seem like either a technical exercise or a "lost in the clouds" New Age endeavor. This book is simple and straightforward and practical, with a very sensual and reverential - - yet playful - - tone to it. If you're looking for a book to become a master of Tantra, this isn't it. But if you're looking for some introductory information about Tantra that makes for an enjoyable read, this might be the book for you. I'd like to hear from women who have read this book, because I feel that "Tantric Sex" provides information and stories that can guide many women into the kind of comfortable and meaningful sex they have always wanted. I have only recently entered into a relationship where the sex is more woman-focused instead of male-dominated, and the concepts discussed in this book are exactly what we were looking for, to help keep our relationship growing and vibrant.
