Through this holistic approach, sensuality becomes a path to divine beingness and to an intimate experience of the present moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The word \u2018tantric\u2019 derives from Sanskrit and refers to the expansion of consciousness. According to Tantric philosophy, we are intimately connected by the internal energy of each person and living thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every interaction we have is a circulation of energy in which we use the body as an instrument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, tantric sex is all about sexual energy within us and how we connect and release it with our partners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ultimate goal of tantric sex is not just ejaculation, but the maximum feeling of ecstasy provided during sex and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-an-orgasm-and-how-to-get-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">orgasm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Both partners closely embrace while synchronising their breath. If you want to, you can both stimulate each other&#8217;s genitals or use penetration. Or you can simply just hold each other close and feel each other&#8217;s bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Amazing Butterfly<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, find a place where you or your partner can lay down; this can be a counter, table or bed (if it is high). While lying down, the partner raises their legs and places them on their partner\u2019s shoulders, who will be standing up. The partner lying down should tilt their pelvis upwards so that the back is lifted from the surface and their groin meets with their partner\u2019s. The standing partner places their hands under their lover\u2019s hips, holding the body at a perfect angle while penetrating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Row His Boat<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The penetrating partner sits on a comfortable and sturdy chair (so as not to have accidents) in a slouching position with legs slightly spread. The other person straddles their partner\u2019s lap and sits on their groin with their knees bent upwards. Both partners should be facing each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1925 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/vivastreetuk.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tantric-sex-position.png\" alt=\"A couple in tantric sex position on table about to have tantric sex\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tantric-sex-position.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tantric-sex-position-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tantric-sex-position-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tantric-sex-position-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vivastreet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/tantric-sex-position-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"trytantricsextoday\"><b>Try tantric sex today<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does the thought of mindful sex excite you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re seeking deeper levels of sensation and sexual energy, tantric sex might benefit you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other forms of sex, tantric sex focuses entirely on connection resulting in deeply intimate and meditative sex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you\u2019re not just concerned about achieving an orgasm, try tantric sex with your partner today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Disclaimer:<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Due to the current social-distancing measures, should you decide to participate in any sexual activity of any kind it should be with a person who you have been self-isolating or social distancing with.
