~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most any kind of consensual sex feels great. But when you open your sexual energy conduits, you can spread the excitement all over. As our new book explains…

Sexual energy is the electromagnetic lifeforce in the human body responsible for attraction, desire, libido, sex drive, turn-on, pleasure, and orgasm. It’s what erotically charges your pleasure centers and makes you explode in a blaze of glory.

When you erotically charge all your pleasure centers, it’s amazing how much more you feel. And how many different sensations you experience. Your bodies become more sensitive and more receptive. It feels like more cells are awake and vibrating, sending off their own streamers of sexual electricity.

Can cells actually orgasm? Yes, when you energize your entire body. 

Imagine you’re looking through a telescope at one spot on the moon and all at once your vision widens to cover the whole moon. That’s what it feels like when you fill yourself to the brim with those tantalizing erotic vibrations, it feels like you’re going from black and white to color. Like jumping from two dimensions to three. Like flying where you were once walking. 

Your pleasure becomes more intense when you stream sexual passion from your genitals to your dozens of other sensitive tissues. (Tantric Pathways to Supernatural Sex details all 30 of a woman’s and all 20 of a man’s sweet spots.) When you build the sexual current, any touch, lick, or stroke seems to detonate ecstasy grenades like splashes in a still lake. 

Interested in learning how to do it? Here are a few excerpts from our new book that explain. 

We’ve found it helpful to visualize a pleasure balloon inside the body. That’s an imaginary bubble filled with sexual energy. At rest, the small balloon is collapsed around your genitals. 

As you get excited and pump it full of energy, it expands to ultimately fill the electromagnetic field around your entire body. The bigger your pleasure balloon, the more delicious sensations you feel in more places. 

The more aroused you get, the more energy your pleasure balloon contains. And when you feel close intimacy, heart connection, and soul merger, you welcome another into your energy field. 

The more sexual energy you generate and pump into your pleasure balloon, the bigger it gets. It expands up way past your genitals and inflates to fill your whole body and the electromagnetic field around it.

Which means ecstatic vibrations will spread all over your body. Which means you’ll feel like you’re floating away on a cloud of ecstasy. Since you’re not wasting that juicy lifeforce, you can do it over and over. This is a little glimpse into the rarified stratosphere of multiple orgasm for both men and women. 

To enjoy the sensational benefits of Supernatural Sex, focus on filling your

pleasure balloon gradually. Here’s how…

Feel the sensations in your body. Let them be and relax into them. Go slow and allow your arousal to climb at its own rate. Stretch this elastic container in small steps so you can contain more energy without tensing up. 

The more you exercise your bubble, the more flexible it becomes, the easier it expands, and the larger it can get. The old maxim “use it or lose it” applies here.

Yes, many supernatural lovers need to start with slow sex to get into this groove. But once you’re there, everything feels more intense: fast, slow, deep, shallow, you name it. 

With a fully inflated pleasure balloon, you have much more sexual electricity to play with. You can funnel it back into your erogenous zones to make them more sensitive. You can use it to recharge your genitals if they get a bit depleted before you’re done.  

Full-body orgasm happens when you fill your bioenergetic field to the brim with this bristling lifeforce. And when you go for the Big O, it can supercharge your climax into a cosmic explosion. 

Supernatural Sex helps you expand your sexual crescendos into wider, higher peaks of ecstasy. They cause electrical jolts and sonic booms that make every part of you reverberate with delight.

When your pleasure balloon is packed full of erotic charge, it naturally tends to stream everywhere. That means it flows where it will into every sensitive nook and cranny inside. 

Streaming energy feels like electricity sizzling, buzzing, and pulsing inside your energy pathways. That makes you tingle, vibrate, and shake all over. It can feel like fireworks shooting off, volcanos erupting, thunder booming, and lightning bursting inside. But mostly it seems like the electromagnetism that energizes intense passion. 

Sexual energy streams when you build up large amounts of electrical charge and let it go. It’s like a tidal wave of ecstasy coursing through your body. 

You’ve undoubtedly experienced streaming when you’ve trembled in anticipation, felt hot flashes spread, or had goose bumps all over. The current makes your nerves twitter, the magnetism makes your muscles quiver, and the erotic charge makes your body undulate. 

When you easily stream this energy the fuels all sorts of orgasms, your senses become immeasurably heightened. You’ll experience powerful responses to subtle stimuli. When your energetic pathways are that open, you won’t need much sexual stimulation to feel like you’re coming continuously all over. 

Imagine what it will feel like when other parts of your body throb with the same excitation that makes your turned-on genitals pulse and throb. As you let the energy charge ripple inside, the natural vibrations will engulf you. That’s what triggers full-body orgasms. 

When your pleasure balloon overflows, it feels like geysers of erotic electricity flooding you, gripping you, and milking you all over. Streaming orgasmic energy makes you swoon and undulate. Surging showers of ecstasy make your entire energy body pulse in time with your beating heart. 

The fiery sensations engulf you as if every cell climaxes. You feel lighter and lighter, like floating away on a cloud of pleasure. 

With any luck you’ve been blown away at times by powerful climaxes like this. Which proves it’s possible. All you need is to understand how to make it happen whenever you want. That’s what Tantric Pathways to Supernatural Sex offers.

Would you be willing to spend a few minutes practicing some new sexual moves to get there? If you do, here’s what you have to look forward to…

Supernatural Sex creates sexual fireworks inside your body which shows up as rays, bolts, sheets, and streamers of sexual energy. It can spark, sizzle, crackle, streak, and zap. It can even give you a shock. When the charge isn’t very strong, it can feel like a buzzing current flowing through your circuits. 

The erotic charge in a fully charged pleasure balloon can detonate inside feeling like bursts, blasts, and bangs. The pyrotechnics start as a gleam or sparkle and grow into a blossom or eruption. Sexual fire can produce tendrils of heat, flames, and fireballs. When mellow, it’s more like smoldering embers or hot coals.

Sure, that seems like magic. But it’s something any non-magical lover can easily develop. Get your copy of Tantric Pathways to Supernatural Sex at your local bookstore or at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. 

Love, Somraj and Jeffre

What Kind of Foreplay Ignites Your Jet Engine?

I had an amazing date this weekend with an old lover I haven’t played with much in recent years. Our final two-hour coupling hit some startling new highs of passion. It wasn’t just my magic wand stroking in and out of this dear friend that drove us both wild. It was the sexual energy that we created together and passed back and forth. Frankly, it blew our minds. 

One of my early Tantra teachers urged us to shift from friction sex to energy sex. Back then in the 90s, this was an intoxicating concept, at least first. Putting more attention on the sensations the energy created a mysterious mystical aspect to the physical fun my body and my lovers bodies craved. And still does.

This free ezine (scroll to the end if you want to unsubscribe) offers practical sex tips derived from modern sex research and the ancient wisdom of Tantra and the Kama Sutra. We teach Supernatural Sex and Supreme Bliss Tantra to help you deepen relationship intimacy and reach astounding heights of sexual ecstasy through long-distance learning and hands-on training. Our motto is “Deeper Into The Heart Of Sex.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The meaning of friction sex should be obvious: rubbing your jewels (genitals) to get turned-on. And when your excitable zones are rubbing your partner’s jewels, you hopefully experience the pleasure at the same time. Jewel union (sexual intercourse) doesn’t necessarily always result in a simultaneous orgasm, a rarer occurrence than most lovers realize. But it sure is wonderful anytime you’re sharing intense sensations with someone you love. 

Sharing sensations, by the way, is the simplest way to define energy sex. To understand it more deeply, it’s good to start with grasping what kundalini is, the ancient name for sexual energy. When we refer to energy in Tantra, we mean the percolating life force in the body that drives your heart, fuels your emotions, excites your nerves, and awakens clarity in your mind. 

Our new book Tantric Pathways to Supernatural Sex, due out this July, concentrates on how to maximize kundalini. Its subtitle, “A Groundbreaking Look at the Chemistry of Sexual Electricity,” says it another way. Turn-on results from releasing and flowing sensual electricity in your body. If you remember your basic physics, you know that moving electricity produces magnetism.

So we can formally define kundalini, sexual energy, as bio-electric-magnetism.

When your body gets excited from your favorite kind of sexual friction, blood flows to your jewels, your heart rate and breathing increase, and your skin gets flushed. That’s the physical side of the game. 

But it’s kundalini that’s primarily responsible for those delicious sensations. Tickles, tingles, and twitches. It’s like prickly heat on the inside of your skin. And preferably deeper. The energy makes the sensations spark, pulse, blossom, and explode. 

Though I developed some mastery of energy sex that first year of my Tantra training, it’s taken me many years to be able to make the shift intentionally. Now I can switch from animalistic sexual stroking to kundalini consciousness pretty easily when I choose. 

That doesn’t mean I can orgasm without any touching. Being in my seventies, my sensual juices just don’t start flowing instantly any more. 

So looking back on that Tantra class, I resent that teacher urging me to make a choice between friction and energy sex. You see, Tantra — the ancient art of spiritual growth through harnessing one’s physical potential — sees sex and spirit as one form of energy. Sure, it feels different when awakened in the loins or the heart or the head. But it’s kundalini that drives all of your senses and abilities and machinery.

So I’m NOT exhorting you to give up rubbing your parts in and around your sweetie’s body. I am, however suggesting your pleasure can be amplified by adding energy sex to your coupling. 

What seems to work best for me and my lovers is like a ram jet. I believe those were the first kind of jet engines aeronautical engineers experimented with. 

Any jet engine develops thrust by igniting fuel in a stream of compressed air inside a cylinder. It’s the exhaust that propels the aircraft. But if the incoming air doesn’t get compressed, nothing much happens. There are fancy ways to compress the air in today’s jets, but back in the middle of the last century they started with a simple solution. Get a propellor-driven plane up to top speed and maybe dive to reach a high enough velocity to compress the incoming air. That started the ram jet’s combustion. 

This is an article about sex, not science, so I hope you’ll forgive this scientifically trained Tantra teacher’s analogy. My point is that I use friction to launch energy sex the way speed ignites a ram jet. The difference between jewel union and a jet plane is that pumping too fast may result in a quick orgasm (at least for the guy) instead of an extended flight of orgasmic passion. 

You see, Tantric training opens the door to orgasmic sex. Though that might include multiple orgasms, orgasmic sex is more about getting into the lofty zone where every breath, touch, and stroke feels like you’re coming. Instead of aiming for one or more climax events, you reach for a state of continuous orgasm. For minutes without interruption. Or when you’re really experienced, for a couple hours like we did last weekend. 

For example, after multiple encounters that could only be classified as foreplay, I slowly entered my lover. We both had the nearly irresistible compulsion to ramp the speed up and go for it. But we didn’t. We meandered, speeding up very slowly in fits and starts. The occasional little bouts of deep, hard, and fast stroking were totally ecstatic. 

But the majority of our attention was on feeling as much as we could in each moment. Feeling our own pleasure and reaching inside to feel each other’s pleasure. That’s even a better definition of energy sex, don’t you agree?

Hopefully this gives you a clearer sense of the fork in the road this article is about. The decision point early in your coupling is where you get to choose what you want. Wham, bam, going for a quick explosion? Or pace yourselves so you can ignite that passion for as long as you want? 

We used friction sex to ignite energy sex just as increased speed ignites a ram jet’s combustion.  But that doesn’t mean we ignored rubbing our hot bits together. I mean, if something feels good, don’t you want more of it? So why would you denounce sliding your excitable organs together? Not me.

Using friction and energy sex together in concert is the best of both worlds. Kind of like decades ago when hi-fidelity music systems added another channel to go from monaural to stereo. 

Now that’s a great example of the part of the Tantric attitude that encourages you to choose pleasure first wherever and whenever you can. 

There are other channels you can activate, too. I’m obviously a guy with a high sex drive who loves sexual friction. On the other hand, some of my female lovers, my wife paramount among them, need a different boost to get her engine running. Yes, I’m referring to the L word. Words of love that ignite the heart are essential for many lovers before their sexual juices ramp up and flow with gusto. 

What works for each of us is certainly somewhat different. So I don’t expect that the formula that ignites my jet engine into high gear is the best one for you. I write these words to encourage you to do something I love to do all the time: experiment with sex. 

Enjoy. And let me know what you discover.

Love, Somraj and Jeffre

Enjoy Lupercalia. Long live erotic love!

The age-old tradition of St Valentine’s Day was called Lupercalia in pagan times. It was held on 15th February, which pagans considered to be the end of one year and the beginning of the next. The day was named after a God called Lupercalis who was similar to the God Pan, a God of fertility. During the festival each young man would pull the name of a young woman out of an urn full of names. They were expected to spend 3 days together as lovers during the festival and then an entire year in sexual relationship together. From these liaisons, many young people would find themselves continuing in a longer relationship. 

A succession of popes were scandalized by this festival and tried to uproot it, unsuccessfully. Finally, in the 5th century, Pope Gelasius managed to rearrange it in such a way that the martyred Saint Valentine was worshipped on that day. What actually happened is that a boy would present a token of the martyred Saint to a young woman in order to let her know he fancied her. This later metamorphosed into what we know of today as Saint Valentine’s Day. Because of the tenacity of the pagan festival and the fact that people were not willing to give it up, the poor martyred Valentine became synonymous with gestures of love and courtship.
