What is tantric sex? Is it more than just delayed orgasms?

 

Tantric sex is one form of spiritual practice (sacred sex) from Tantra which originated in India between 4,000-6,000 years ago. The teaching of Tantrism is that everything is one thing and that one thing is pure consciousness—God, the one without a second. Furthermore, individuals can transcend the limitations of the ego-consciousness in which everything seems to be separate from everything else (duality) to have a direct personal experience (not just an idea or concept) of reuniting with that Divine consciousness. This experience would be enlightenment, God-consciousness, Nirvana, or Mahamudra. In the left hand path of Tantra, sacred sex is seen to be a legitimate part of the spiritual quest for enlightenment. Some refer to Tantra sacred sex as Neo Tantra (neo means new). This is because sacred sex was a very small part of the earliest Tantric spiritual practices but has become the part gaining the most attention by Western spiritual seekers.
