Some tantra guides seem very clinical. They just lay out the dance steps in little rubber footprints on the floor. This author really feels like she's speaking from a very deep personal journey. She shares her heart and soul as well as her intimate knowledge of how bodies work. I appreciated the many specific insights she offered, both technical and emotional. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to put the principles of tantra into practice and succeed.

This is a good book for those who need a complete introduction and a great book for couples who are struggling with their relationship. My husband and I bought this book together for exploration. We found some insightful information, but had to skip through a lot of it to find the good stuff. I don't mean to say that the good stuff is scarce. All of the information is good, but there is a big focus on trust and communication and my husband and I have already established these things. There is also a lot of emotional healing going on in this book which is why I think it would be great for those who are genuinely in love, but feel they need help. I do not recommend it for "next level" seekers, or couples who want to expand on what they already have as we do.

While browsing for books on alternative personal and environmental energetics, this book jumped off the bookstore shelf at me. I wasn't looking for a tantric sex introduction but after scanning it I knew there was something I was meant to learn from it. This book is valuable on 2 levels. On an personal and emotional level it simply describes the benefits of mindful conjoining and the tools to remain in the present moment, all of which has the ability to extend the conjoining experience by hours. As an energetic consultant practitioner I appreciated the physiological principles and descriptions throughout the book which were verified to be all true after following the guidelines. My approach has been changed forever. Anyone I discuss it with appears to be naturally drawn to the concept as well. It also discusses sexual dysfunction which makes alot of sense.

I just finished this book and by the time I was reading the last chapter I kept feeling tears well up. I realized it was because I was resonating so much with what the author was saying. This is so much more than a book on Tantra. She delves deep into what makes the male and female bodies want each other. I was deeply moved at how she describes what it takes to truly connect with your lover and not just perform an animal act. This definitely covers the "fulfillment" aspect the relationship like no other I have found yet. Enjoy!

I've recently browsed around and found this book. Yesterday I was with my open relationship partner (I don't really have a name for it and that's ok with me) and I told her we were going to experiment today. We started off with just touching with awareness, hands, skin, nothing sexually explicit but it was a rather interesting experience. After just being together we started sharing with the words "I Feel/need" (described in the book) and while we made love for the first time, tears rolled down my eyes, and she cried too. It wasn't so much the sadness, but more like relief. When everything's done and though, every human being just wants to be accepted, when I got past the veil of ego, self doubt, and my own insecurities it was truly a refreshing experience.
I highly recommend this book not because it gives a clinical technique on how to please a women, rather it's more of an inward journey into oneself. Seeing myself reflected in her eyes made me realize that the me right now is good enough for myself, and that's really what it all leads to. Loving yourself, then having enough surplus to love others.
This is my first amazon review, but I had to share a piece of my story,
Namaste

Forget everything you know about sex in western culture. The book walks you through the process of rediscovering sex following tantric practices. Very enlightening. My wife is also reading this book. Truly something to share with your love.

The Heart of Tantric Sex: A Unique Guide to Love and Sexual Fulfillment by
October 13, 2008
Format:Paperback
This book is a very very good book. It has not only improved my personal life by trying to examine and solve situation on a trantic level, but it has also improved other aspects of my life in ways that I can just not even begin to explain. If I had the money I would purchase one for every man and woman to read. You have to be in a state of readiness to receive the information that in put forth in the book and also willing to practice the ways that are explained in the book. If you do that you will find improvement in every aspect of you life.
