Research Notes on Tantric Sex
Tantra is over 1500 years old, and originated in India. It is a set of teaching and practices specifically designed to help us feel more and to increase and be aware of our own energy and other energy around us.1 The goal of Tantric sex is to experience more depth and breadth in our sexuality. This goal is not orgasm, but rather enriching the whole sexual experience.2
