CHRISTOPHER MICHAELS explores the Tantric experience of the tantra touchless orgasm…
Tantra gets a lot of press for its sexual practices, for its belief that sex is both a symbol and a practice that can transform and enlighten. And of course this is part of Tantra’s uniqueness. Tantric Sex, Sacred Sex is a core symbol and practice but it is the flower of a whole relationship like a plant whose roots are in your heart, whose leaves, branches and stems are the everyday actions and feelings of your relationships.
A central insight of Tantra is that orgasm is more a psychological experience than a physical one. In Tantra we make it so extraordinary as to be spiritual. It is something that you can actively participate in both as a giver and a receiver.
Many people regardless of gender seem to think it happens to them. They are passive receivers of the gift offered, worked for by their lovers. And this is often their experience because they have never learnt how make their pleasure for themselves. Even masturbating doesn’t offer insight into how pleasure works internally. Most of us simply want to get the result. We don’t realise that what we do internally – the fantasies, the senses we use when imagining, the way we touch ourselves – during solo play set our mind-body system up for when we share pleasure and intimacy.
Just as for the martial arts, fighting and the warrior’s path point to a deeper truth about our humanity so it is that Tantra and its practices point to deeper truths about who we are and how we live. On a practical level Tantra teaches the art of love in all its meanings sensual, emotional and spiritual.
Using the principles that govern the relationship of mind and body you can take a more active role in your own and your partners’ pleasures. It doesn’t have to be hit and miss. The more choice and comfort you have with the process of giving and receiving a basic orgasm, the more you can play with the experience, intensifying it, exploring its variety and different qualities. To this end we learn about the rituals of seduction, the anatomy of ecstasy, clarity of boundaries and peace with beingness.
A touchless orgasm can, in a practical and pleasurable way, demonstrate and teach the psychological elements of orgasm through body-connected imagination, introducing aspects of energy as a subtle physical expression our connections and as an exciting game to share. A side issue is the power of voice and the right way of talking in order to influence others. Finally it really shows that the greatest aphrodisiac is between your ears.
The aim is to connect the focussed attention of your partners with their feelings, memories, fantasies, the sexual symbolic system and their real experience in the moment to actively create an orgasm. This is not really an experience that you can learn from a book or website because there is so much more to it than the words you use. It is knowledge we share in our workshop or through one-on-one and with couples. It is about the whole person and their relationship with their body and their partners.

What other people say about Tantra:
Tantra deals primarily with spiritual practices and ritual forms of worship that aim at liberation from ignorance and rebirth, the universe being regarded as the divine play of Shakti and Shiva. In “left-handed” Tantra (Vamachara), ritual sexual intercourse is employed as a way of entering into the underlying processes and structure of the universe: www.wikipedia.com
