What is tantric sex or sacred sexuality? As we mentioned in the introduction, tantric sex is a part of tantra, Buddhist and Hindu discipline. Thus, tantra or tantrism refers to the secrets found in the religious texts and rituals of Buddhism and Hinduism. Well, these texts include, among other aspects, the secrets that include sex as a way to achieve greater sensitivity and focus the energy of the universe.
In our society, we usually associate the greatest sexual pleasure with orgasm, coinciding, in the case of men, with ejaculation. On the contrary, the goal of tantric sex is not ejaculation, since ejaculation is considered a waste of energy. For this reason, it is intended that practitioners reach achieve orgasm without ejaculating.
It should be noted that what gives that special touch to tantric sex is the fact that, although it is pleasurable, it is not designed to achieve pleasure, but rather, in the same way as in , it is a way of access self-knowledge and receive energy.
But what makes it more special is the fact that one sex is not considered superior to the other. In tantric sex there is no room to distinguish between the superiority of one sex or another, between the beautiful and the ugly, between the good and the bad, and between the pure and the impure. So that, tantric sex is practiced completely normallyFurthermore, with a normality superior to what we experience in our societies today.
