Tantra (or sometimes "Tantric Sex") is the term used to describe an
ancient form of Eastern spiritual practice. It is somewhat similar to Taoist
Sex, in that the emphasis is on connecting with your partner on a higher plane
of existence. Although not originally designed for sexual enhancement -- but
rather religious enhancement -- it has attracted many followers in
recent years because of what it can do for your sex life.
Rooted in ancient Hindu texts, Tantra can be traced back to at least the sixth
century. The thing that it is probably best known for is the practice of
"semen retention." Men who are experienced at Tantra can have
unlimited orgasms -- without ejaculating! Women also report wonderful benefits
from studying this intermingling of yoga and meditation with sexuality and
spirituality.
It is a far too complex subject to cover in detail here, but I would recommend
reading the excellent book by Margo Anand, The Art of Sexual Ecstasy.
Happy exploring!
