Anyone into tantric sex?

Just what it says. Met someone new and he's mentioned it. Anyone any experience of this? I'm assessing whether it's out of my comfort zone!

It always sounds incredibly time-consuming, all that breathing, mindfulness, being present, eye contact and slowness.

In my experience anyone claiming to be into tantric sex are usually, one, full of shit, two, extremely boring.

NeatCompactSleeper · 31/12/2023 14:44

Christ no, who has the time?

Besides, unless the heating was on full I'd have to stick a cardigan on.

That's what I think whenever I hear of it. I just do not have the concentration level required, I'd be bored and looking around the room or planning tomorrows to do list.

How does tantric sex even work ?

embolass · 31/12/2023 14:53

“stick a cardigan on” 🤣🤣🤣

Once my cardi was on, I'd be toddling off to make a cuppa and watch Poirot on UK Gold.

Much better than four hours of rubbing with eye contact.

OP there was a tantric class on an episode of SATC once that you can watch. Or ask Sting. I think he likes it.

TheWeatherOutsideIs · 31/12/2023 15:02

Fuck that. It would make me cringe.

AuntySueDoesntGiveAShit · 31/12/2023 15:09

I've just had a look on YouTube to get an idea 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it looks like slow motion self defence lessons.

Yert · 31/12/2023 15:10

Anything taking longer than 15 mins is too long for me.

Well, nothing says ‘immediate turn on’ like slow-mo self-defence lessons, I always say.

This is the laugh I very much needed today. "stick my cardigan on" 😂 @NeatCompactSleeper

TheSunIsShiningAndTheSkyIsBlue · 31/12/2023 15:26

"Sting" used to harp on about it, say no more.

If he's in the zone, he might not even notice you missing! 😂🤣

Depends, does his interpretation of tantric include plenty of orgasms for his partner? If not, jog on matey!

Stresa22 · 31/12/2023 15:29

It will mean he has a very small penis and wants to distract you from that.

Apparently orgasms for either party aren’t the main thing in tantric sex.

Which is part of my problem. Call me superficial. I like orgasms.

These messages are cracking me right up!

I don't live too far away from where Sting grew up!

My ADHD brain can only just about maintain focus long enough for 'normal' sex, I've got no chance of not getting distracted and humming the Rosie and Jim theme tune 20 minutes into something Tantric. Or asking what was for tea.

rickandmorts · 31/12/2023 15:43

Is your someone new Brian from Hull?

Pretying · 31/12/2023 18:00

Well Trudie's definitely got the nostrils for it.

And if it was a good brew.... ditto! 😂

ArcticBells · 31/12/2023 18:33

Does it really exist? Does anyone do it other than Sting and Trudie?!

It's the first time I've really come across it. But I don't think I'm telling anyone other than you lovely lot of MM.

But now I'm not sure I could do it and get Sting out of mind.
