What Is Tantric Sex and Why Do People Do It?

Tantric sex refers to sensual activities that allow you to connect deeply with your body and stay in tune with it. If you have a partner, it also allows you to connect with their desires and wants. Normally, tantric sex is not orgasms-focused. People practice it to align their sexual energy, passion, and desires with their spiritual well-being.

How To Have a Tantric Sex Session

Prepare Your Mind

Since tantric sex is spiritual, you may want to walk into the sex scene with a clear mind. Perform a stretch or breathe for 10 minutes. For the latter, engage your belly and lower back.

Prepare The Space

Preparation for the tantric sex space begins by ensuring the surface you will use is comfortable. Here, you may need a few cushions or a satin blanket. Next to that, check the room’s temperature. If it’s hot, open the windows or switch on the fan. If it’s cold, turn on your heater. Once you get the right temperature, work on the mood. Here, bring a scented candle or tinted bulb on board. After achieving ambiance, play sensual music. If your playlist has no such music, explore the samples from the internet.

Dive Into the Tantric World

After preparing your mind and space, it is now time to dive into the tantric world, whether alone or with your partner. For the former, you can masturbate, meditate or practice self-massage. If you have a partner, try foreplay, having sex, or cuddling (after having sex).
