The Heart of Tantric Sex: A Unique Guide to Love and Sexual Fulfillment Kindle Edition

I'm only three chapters in, so I'll come back and write a final review once I'm actually finished. BUT so far, this book is so so so so so so helpful to me personally. It's difficult for me to relax when my husband and I "do the dirty", because I stress myself to no end that I won't be able to reach orgasm "quickly enough" or that it won't be a "perfect" one. Diana Richardson is helping me SO much to "relearn" how to make love to my husband and thoroughly enjoy the act again by focusing my entire energetic being on the here and now instead of rushing it and causing "friction" (not a good kind, lol) the whole time. Don't let the possibly "new age"ish vibe of what you think you know about Tantra turn you away! The way she explains it is so relatable and makes more and more sense the more I read. Like...it's already making such a huge (and welcomed) difference in the way I approach sex itself in general. Even though I'm only 40ish pages in right now, I wanted to come here and recommend this book to anyone struggling with the same or similar frustrating issues that I've had for years in the bedroom. Also, it's a very easy-to-read style of writing, so I'm sure I'll be done with it in no time. Until then, farewell. x] I hope you find what you're looking for.P.S. I cannot say for sure yet whether this book would be particularly helpful to same-sex partners. While she does not at all appear averse to it, there is a lot of talk about the opposite polarity and balance between "male and female". I'll know more once I'm done! If you've read this far into my review, I hope it was helpful to you in some way at least.

Diana Robinson has changed our love making completely. Although we have been married for 42 years, we are now enjoying the BEST SEX of our lives! We connect at a deeper level, and we BOTH feel MUCH more fulfilled (not "just" sex, but love). This book is a good overview of her approach, but a bit repetitive and spends too much time on breaking old habits and ideas about sex. The bullets at the end of each chapter really help. Be sure to buy Tantric Orgasm for Women (another of her books) as well. Buy Diana's books and give her ideas a try before buying ANY others. (I wasted time and money on other "recommended" and "also bought" books, including other books on Tantric sex.)I read three of Diana's books before suggesting her approach to my wife. All it takes an open mind (it is different) and a little practice. However, in our case, we experienced UNBELIEVABLE RESULTS THE FIRST TIME. We both reached deeper levels of fulfillment and love than ever. Sex is so good now that I can't imagine how it will get any better, but I suspect that it will as we continue this practice and explore ourselves and each other even more deeply.

Anything related to Osho, I stay away. I wish I knew before I ordered the book. Too late to return.This is my $17.95 worth:First, if you are not aware of who Osho/Bhagwan Rajneesh, Ma Anand Sheela, and the Rajneeshpuram are, it's prudent that you do some research into the dark history of these people in the United States. Or, watch the video Wild Wild Country.It's morally and ethically not good.The author, Diana Richardson, makes several associations with Osho as a disciple/follower and quotes him directly in this text. Nowhere on the Amazon page for this book is this fact made available. It is clearly stated on the back cover of the book, but for whatever reason it has been omitted on the Amazon site. Surely the author is aware a full description is not given.I think, feel, and know I have been deceived. If I were aware of the association with Osho I would have not purchased it.Everyone knows that real love begins with trust. The author has violated that for me, and you.This is NOT TANTRA.The text is on the cheesy side.....The writing style did not appeal to me at all. My main issue here is the deceptive way the book is being sold. Buyer beware.

I just finished this book, my 1st introduction to Tantra. I admit I have thought from time to time about that well-known story about Sting and his wife having the most amazing sex for hours and hours. I finally researched it online a couple weeks ago and found out it was Tantra they practice. I searched for a book with good reviews and got this one. Sooo glad I did.It's a marvelous book and though I have barely even begun putting it into practice, my lovely beau and I are enjoying an improved level of intimacy and satisfaction in the bedroom. He got the book as well and is enjoying it immensely. It is just so different than what we were taught about sex, and how to get the most out of it. I thought we had a pretty awesome sex life before, but this is taking things to a whole new level. A spiritual level, which is something I have always sought after. It's hard to comprehend or explain how having slow sex makes you feel so much closer to your lover, let alone feel so many deep feelings that are spiritually opening, but it does seem to do that.This book is just so delicious to read, quite a sensual experience in itself. I could hardly put it down. Diana is a wonderful writer. I just ordered another of her books here (Tantric Orgasm for Women) on another viewers recommendation, and can't wait to get it. (2 whole days I have to wait!! ;D) I will re-read this while waiting.

Really good and informative. Adds fruitfulness and passion. We are a society to taken with our own pleasure, but utilizing the methods within this book, brings pleasure, long lasting to all with a focus. We have no TV's now.

This is a fantastic book. It focusses on techniques to use when experimenting with your partners. It also seems rather modern and understanding of the 21st century. Which is great as some tantra books seem to forget to factor in the world we currently live in. Very interesting read.

This is not a sex manual it's for people who want to improve their sex lives with their partner, not something you would use for a hook up.

This is my first reading into Tantra. This book was well written and explained everything brilliantly. Looking forward to putting my consciousness aside and trying Tantra

A very interesting book, well worth a read and a lot of it makes a lot of sense. I suppose in a nutshell it says slow down and pay attention to how things feel. The Eastern mysticism may not be to everyone's taste, but you could cherry pick what works for you and your partner. This is something that both partners need to be engaged with. In the end, if it feels good, then do it!
