WHAT IS TANTRIC INTIMACY?
Let's break it down: what exactly is tantric intimacy? According to “Everything You Need to Know About Tantric Sex,” by Medical News Today it's a slow, meditative approach to lovemaking where the emphasis isn't on reaching orgasm but on savoring the journey and sensations of the body. The aim is to channel sexual energy for healing, transformation, and spiritual growth. When sexual acts are involved, they're typically used as a medium rather than an end goal. It takes time. Desire-driven and goal-oriented sexual acts may normally happen rapidly and with urgency.
What sets tantric intimacy apart from other forms? Well, here's the kicker: sex is optional, and achieving orgasm isn't the primary goal. In tantric sexology, as highlighted in fact, an article by Insider titled “How to Practice Tantric Sex, a Meditative Form of Intimacy That Can Improve Relationships,” the focus shifts to cultivating a profound mindful connection within yourself and with your partner. It's about exploring and understanding each other's bodies deeply to foster a meaningful and intimate bond.
To sum it all up, tantric sexology revolves around discovering and connecting with your own body and your partner in a way that promotes deep intimacy.
