1.0 out of 5 stars Tantra Lite, January 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of Tantric Sex: Ancient Techniques & Rituals that Enhance Sexual Pleasure (Hardcover)

One of the few titles on this subject I could find that included photographs, but very disappointing. The models are bland and distant-looking; they don't seem spiritually or sexually involved. And the text was so light-weight, I have gotten better, more complete information from articles. Perhaps enough for someone who wants a taste of the exotic, but not challenging enough intellectually or spiritually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly helpful book, January 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of Tantric Sex: Ancient Techniques & Rituals that Enhance Sexual Pleasure (Hardcover)

This book is wonderful because it works to channel energy from the immediate experience into a prolonged, full body sacrament of love. The Tantrikas knew what they were talking about when they included all five senses, meditation. exercises, etc. The first time my husband and I applied these techniques, it was the most profound lovemaking night of our lives (8 is great!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Just lovely, September 14, 2005

By	Jeanne E. Blum - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Art of Tantric Sex: Ancient Techniques & Rituals that Enhance Sexual Pleasure (Hardcover)

Contrary to the first review of "bland models" --they actually emit very gentle sensual chi--this book is well done, tasteful, beautifully photgraphed, very well informing and a must for anyone who truly wants a wonderful sexual union which is spiritually based and will take the initiate into the old ways of Soulfully connecting with a loving partner...I am now buying more for friends. Brava to the author.
