5.0 out of 5 stars A feast for thought......, March 28, 2008

By	Tantric Lez (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This brave documentary gives a glimpse into the lesbian tantric world. For the first time, tantric principles and exercises are laid out for our community. The film presents 3 different teachers, and gives a good foundation of tantric history and how to apply its principles to the gay and lesbian community.

Even if one never fully adopts a "tantric lifestyle" this film will expand your notions of both what tantra is -- much more than the mere sexual applications -- and what true partnership can be. It encourages us to slow down and take time ...... whether it is during the act of sex itself, or buy actually "scheduling" time on a daily basis to connect to our loved ones. Pretty sound advise I think. Further, the exercises designed to help one connect with ones own sexual energy and be able to move that energy -- through breath work, etc. -- gives us tools for healing past wounds as well as fighting things like "lesbian bed death." All and all very powerful in its possibilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to tantra for the rest of us, November 13, 2007

By	Caring citizen (USA) - See all my reviews

After taking workshops in which I was the only gay person/couple in the group, this video was a refreshing reminder that tantra works for same-sex couples too. This DVD is a great intro to tantra for the gay crowd and after watching it I immediately signed up for one of Pamela's workshops. She's a wonderful tantrika and I'd highly recommend both the DVD and her workshops.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not WASTE your money buying this!, January 7, 2009

By	Lov2explore "Blondes_have_more_fun!" (Great State of Texas) - See all my reviews

This movie is a complete waste of money. You think when you purchase it that you will learn some new and exciting techniques. WRONG! The entire movie is a bunch of OLD HIPPIES talking about how great tantra is but NEVER once explain any of the basics of the method. A total waste of time. They even went so far as to put in some OLD porn star to talk about it. Again, you learn nothing from this dvd.
