5 Tantric Exercises to Try

Nowadays, couples are more aware of their sexuality and the significant role it plays in their lives. Exploring sexuality as a couple is a natural and beautiful part of a relationship. Tantra is an interesting path to explore and discover new ways to connect and improve your sexual experiences. When thinking about tantric sex, some people might confuse it with the Kama Sutra. However, they are quite different, and it’s important not to mix them up.

The Kama Sutra, a book from India that came after Tantra, is particularly known for its various sexual positions. It is, in fact, a kind of manual on romantic practices of the time, intended for the elites, reflecting a patriarchal culture. On the other hand, Tantra is a philosophy of life, a holistic experience that helps people become more aware of the world around them and their own inner energy. This existential philosophy of the here and now encourages those who practice it to free themselves from judgments and connect more deeply with their partner. Through Tantra, the senses are heightened, and emotional connection is deepened. Applied to a romantic context, these aspects result in a more intense and fulfilling sexual experience.

5 Tantric Sex Exercises

Here are five tantric sex exercises to enhance your sexual pleasure. These exercises will help you experience firsthand this wonderful philosophy, allowing you to connect with the world, your partner, and yourself.

1. Maintain Eye Contact

It's common to feel intimidated by eye contact, especially when it lasts for a prolonged period. However, looking into someone's eyes is an immediate way to deepen your connection with them. During sexual activity, eye contact serves as a channel for connection between two people. Looking at your partner during the sexual encounter will make you more aware of your own pleasure and your partner’s pleasure.

2. Unleash the Power of Your Chakras

Chakras are energy centers located in different areas of the body. This exercise focuses on recognizing these energy centers, which also have a significant impact on sexuality. Through massage, you can activate and become aware of this energy.

Massage your partner from head to toe, passing through each energy center. It is important for the person receiving the massage to allow that energy to flow through their body, relaxing and working on their breathing. Then you can switch roles.

3. Valley Exploration

Tantric philosophy values femininity, specifically those traits traditionally attributed to women, such as tenderness, softness, listening, and sensitivity. The tantric man must pay close attention to the woman’s pleasure because the energy generated in the Shakti, the woman, allows him to elevate his own energy.

Listening, perceiving, and feeling the woman’s body will increase the tantric man's awareness and ability to be more present, leading both partners to greater sexual pleasure.

4. Vary the Rhythm

All aspects of life are dynamic, and sexuality is one of them. Changing things up is often necessary because even the most enjoyable routines can become tiresome. Exploring new corners of sexuality and varying encounters is entirely possible without needing to change sexual partners.

During your sexual encounter with your partner, try different rhythms and intensities. Whether during foreplay, through intense caresses followed by lighter ones, or during the act itself, through penetrations with different rhythms.

5. Master the Orgasm

Mastering the orgasm involves controlling the ejaculatory process. Let’s not forget that orgasm and ejaculation are different things. It is possible to achieve orgasms without ejaculating, which allows for longer-lasting sexual experiences. In this way, an ordinary man can become a multi-orgasmic man. For women, they can associate them, meaning they can have orgasms along with ejaculations. There are different techniques, which we cover and practice in our courses, to achieve this. You can explore it on your own as a couple or individually, but the most important thing is to understand that the orgasm is not the goal. The journey is what matters most.

We hope these recommendations have been useful to you, and we encourage you to put them into practice. Don’t just take our word for it—try them out. Only practice will give you the answer, and you’ll know if they truly work. If you want to learn how to implement them to their full potential, we can help.
