Sexual Energy in Tantra

Tantra originated more than five thousand years ago in India and sought to rebel against organized religion, which taught that sexuality must be rejected in order to attain enlightenment. Tantra presented sexuality as a gateway to the divine, teaching people how to prolong sexual intercourse and redirect orgasmic energy.

Sexual energy has been studied by Tantrics for thousands of years. In contrast to repressive Western education, Tantra includes a ritual called maithuna, in which a man and a woman are encouraged to feel in harmony with the energy of sexuality. Sex is not condemned based on the preconceived notion of debauchery, but rather is viewed as an art, a science, and a gateway to deeper levels of consciousness.

What human being doesn’t enjoy the pleasure of sex? Why repress it? Why allow oneself to be dominated or possessed? In Tantra, sex is about sharing energy without interference that conditions the mind, allowing energy to flow without guilt or notions of sin. Ritual sex (maithuna) is a means, not an end; It is used so that the psycho-spiritual energy, or kundalini, awakens in the sacral-sexual region and ascends through the astral channel (sushumna) toward the head (the crown chakra, sahasrara), bringing about enlightenment.

Step by step, the body becomes flexible and strong as we nourish it with energy that purifies us of emotions and thoughts; we walk the path to healing, just as everything in nature does.

Sexual energy is sacred and life-giving:

Sexual energy is a source of pleasure, life, and meditation. It does not use sex as a genital release but rather as an exchange of the feminine energy (Shakti) and masculine energy (Shiva) to feel as one and the same.

Tantra emphasizes the importance of men refraining from ejaculation. The energy that is normally released outward during ejaculation can be transmuted into “vital oil” (ojas Shakti), a spiritual power that rises up the astral spine and activates the seven chakras of consciousness.

In this activation, energy rises, precisely through the perception of inner light as a door opening onto infinity. Tantra holds that in the beginning we were a single being, half woman, half man. Sex, which etymologically means to divide, cut, or separate, was what sparked the interplay—the process of coming together again to become one once more. Through stimulated sexual energy, psycho-spiritual energy (kundalini) manifests, translating into creative acts, intuitions, inspiration, vitality, and the ability to understand internal processes with a profound sense of power.

In the tantric energy circle, the beginning of sexual union is both a spark and a fire, with no beginning and no end, where pleasure is sustained without ever being consumed, and there is no competition to bring it to completion.

By embracing desire, bodies do not lose energy; rather, they are revitalized in a communion that transcends the boundaries of the personal to the transpersonal, dissolving the egos into absolute consciousness.

Sex is viewed as a form of meditation, and multiple orgasms are common, filling our mutual love with ecstasy that lifts us from a world of suffering to the grace of the kingdom of the Master of all time.

The practice of channeling sexual energy and redirecting it to the brain is a powerful form of neural stimulation that harmonizes the two hemispheres of the brain.

It helps us communicate better with our subconscious by developing our psychic senses to foster self-awareness and personal growth, as well as the ability to live in the here and now and make decisions that promote harmony.

Tantric massage is a practice aimed at awakening sensory connection and balance between body and mind, based on a deeper experience of pleasure and energy.

Benefits of Tantra for Couples:

In conventional sex, people seek to reach orgasm primarily through genital intercourse. In Tantra, sexuality focuses on being more attentive to everything one feels, especially the sense of touch and breathing. It’s important to give and receive, to incorporate things like full-body massages to learn more about your partner’s pleasure centers, and to explore new ways of connecting in bed—breaking down taboos and fostering better communication between lovers, not only in bed but also outside of it.

Tantric sex improves our health, as sexual energy is believed to regulate hormones, reduce stress levels, and produce serotonin. This is because tantric sex distinguishes between orgasm and ejaculation, and controlling ejaculation allows for multiple orgasms.

In this ritual, the couple worships each other as if they were deities, with deep respect. It is an experience in which physical and emotional sensations blend together, thanks to the couple’s flow of energy

Tantric practice helps couples achieve a deeper emotional understanding and overcome any conflicts and resentments—whether conscious or unconscious—that either the man or the woman may have. If there is anything negative within either partner, it must be brought to the surface so it can be analyzed, understood, assimilated, and changed or transformed if necessary—thereby boosting self-esteem, the capacity to love, and the development of personal power—all for the overall improvement of life as a couple.

In Tantric rituals, there is a deep reverence for the feminine, as women are considered the embodiment of the Fertile Power of magical Nature.Fully and completely satisfying a woman by enhancing her capacity for orgasmic pleasure is essential in Tantra, as it transforms her into a lover—making her more active, alert, uninhibited, and cooperative in the pursuit of a more complete mutual joy.

For men, it fosters greater confidence, intimacy, communication, and sexual fulfillment between partners by enhancing fantasy, erotic potential, communication skills, and the ability to achieve satisfaction.

Sex in Tantric Ritual:

-We should share intimate moments with our partner—moments that not only foster our sexuality but also encourage the kind of conversation needed to understand their perspective on the world around them, as well as their hopes, dreams, and ambitions. This closeness between partners helps strengthen our bond and rekindle passion.

– During the preliminary phase, as we prepare for sexual intercourse, we engage in erotic exchanges of pleasure—such as massages and caresses using our hands, tongue, hair, torso, etc.—to create an intimate connection and prolong sexual ecstasy for as long as possible.

-Foreplay in tantric sex should be performed with slow, controlled movements, alternating the action; that is, while one partner stimulates the other’s erogenous zones, the other should remain passive so that both can fully enjoy all the sensations of pleasure.

– After this stage, we move on to the act of sex, incorporating all kinds of elements and positions we want to try. The different sexual positions allow us to balance masculine and feminine energy, breaking free from gender roles.

According to Tantra Touch, tantric sex positions should be held for a certain amount of time so that the couple can fully relax and transmit their energy through the chakras. One way to enhance the tantric sex experience is by practicing yoga, as the postures and breathing techniques help balance the mind, body, and sexual energy.

Every couple is unique, and things are bound to be different for each one, but if you’d like to give it a try, here are some tantric sex positions:

-Vaidhurit: The two partners sit down and hold each other by the back of the neck while slowly penetrating each other.

-Padm: The man sits cross-legged, and the woman sits on his lap, wrapping her legs around his body. To perform the sexual movements, the man rests his hands on the woman’s shoulders.

-Unpapad: While he remains seated and she slightly lifts one leg, he holds her by the leg and begins penetration.

-Panipash: He holds her feet, and she holds his, while he penetrates her.

Recommendations…

-Achieve harmony between conscious and deep breathing to synchronize the two.

-Perform the poses slowly.

-Make love while maintaining eye contact with your partner.

-Use things that turn us on, which can range from an outfit to a feather or a piece of fabric.

Escorts and Tantra:

Clearly, given all the information we have about Tantric beliefs and rituals, it is difficult to understand how an escort—whether she is a massage therapist or not—could even begin to do justice to the scope of this ancient belief system.

An escort offers momentary sexual satisfaction, but can hardly achieve the level of intimacy required for tantric sex—given that love is essential for its proper practice, or at least an intense understanding and intimacy between partners, which is unlikely to occur in the world of sex work, no matter how liberal one may be.

Another matter entirely is the sense of appreciation and affection that most escorts feel toward their regular clients, but confusing a satisfying sexual relationship with an exchange of cosmic energies is, to say the least, failing to understand the difference between the body and the mind—which, in the case of Tantra, unites them through something inimitable: “love.”

Even so, I believe that Tantra is a mystical belief like many others, but there must certainly be some truth to sexual energy, since it’s well known—and I can attest to this—that so-called “mature escorts” possess a kind of sixth sense and great mental agility, allowing them to navigate life despite all odds or psychological “setbacks,” yet with a fighting spirit and a positive outlook.
