Many readers and visitors ask what we think about “Tantric Sex” or Tantra sex practices and how they relate to our ideas about Christian sex.
Similar to our post about Kama Sutra, Tantric or Tantra Sex are sexual practices that are closely tied to Eastern philosophical and/or religious traditions.
Similar to something like modern (Western) Yoga, it is possible for Christians to benefit from the purely “secular” forms of these ancient practices, while avoiding the underlying (traditional) philosophical or religious components.
Years ago, I took Tae Kwon Do. As you probably know, most martial arts (in the past) have been closely tied to a larger philosophical or religious/cultural context. But, the way that it was taught at my school, you would have never know anything about these things. I gained substantial physical and social benefits from Tae Kwon Do and never once had to deal with the baggage of it’s “history.” Similarly, if you approach Tantric Sex or Tantra Sex practices from a purely “secular” perspective, you may be able to gain similar physical and relational benefits.
Unfortunately, today, most “Tantric sex” or “tantra sex” resources are not so similarly detached from Tantra’s history or philosophies.
Most of the available resources for learning Tantric sex or tantra sex are steeped in “new age” junk. It is side-by-side with various (virtually) occultic content.
Consequently, I don’t recommend that anyone do any significant research into Tantric sex or tantra sex. Particularly because you can achieve the same goals of Tantric sex without dealing with the negative “baggage.”
Most people that are researching Tantric sex or tantra sex are looking to achieve two things:
1) A deeper “spiritual” connection through sex.
2) Longer, more intense sexual experiences.
Both of these goals can best be achieved through proper (and Scriptural) pursuit of Christian sexuality.
Your Christian marriage is the ONLY crucible in which ULTIMATE “spiritual connection” and bonding can take place. God designed sex and your marriage to provide you the ultimate “laboratory” for experiencing true “spiritual sex.” Tantric or Tantra sex practices (outside of a Christian marriage and Scriptural boundaries) can only achieve a pale imitation of what God intended for you!
Achieving longer, more intense sexual experiences is 90% a “technical” matter. If you have developed the “technical” knowledge and physical conditioning that is necessary for longer, more intense sexual experience, you do not need any “new age” mumbo jumbo to “blow the doors off” the sexual pleasure within your marriage.
Readers that have practiced what they found in Sexual Skills For The Christian Husband and Sexual Satisfaction For The Christian Wife have reported that they can experience multiple, simultaneous orgasms with their spouse. And, some have
reported being capable of extending their lovemaking for as long as they desire.
