Tantra and Sex Toys for Men - A Journey of Sensual Discovery
The word "Tantra" is currently buzzing all over the Netherlands, spurred in part by popular programs such as "B&B Vol Liefde. However, despite its increasing prominence, the true depth and meaning of Tantra often remains unknown to many. While many equate tantra with long-term sex, it actually goes much deeper. Combined with sex toys, this ancient art can help men reach new heights of sensual satisfaction.
What is Tantra really?
Tantra is a complex, spiritual tradition rooted in ancient India. The name comes from the Sanskrit root "tan," which means "weaving" or "expanding. Tantra is about weaving spiritual and physical energies to achieve a deeper understanding and connection with the universe and with yourself.
Although in the Western context it is often associated with sex, in reality tantra is about much more. It is a path of meditation and ritual that uses sexual energy as a means to achieve higher spiritual consciousness. It is about acknowledging the divine in your partner and in yourself. Rather than striving for climax, practitioners of tantric sex seek prolonged, transcendent experiences.
Sex Toys and Tantra: Deepening and Renewal
Sex toys can be a valuable addition to tantric practice. They can serve as tools to explore new sensations and to enhance existing energies.
Massage Wand Vibrators: These are ideal for full body massages. They can help release trapped energy and tension, which is essential for tantric practices.
Prostate Stimulators: Known for their ability to induce deep, powerful orgasms, these toys can help men explore their P-point, or prostate - an area considered in tantra to be an energy center.
Penis rings: These can extend the duration of the erection, which is especially valuable in tantra where the goal is to prolong pleasure and delay climax.
Blindfolds: In tantra, the goal is to increase awareness. By eliminating one sense, such as sight, others, such as touch, can be enhanced.
Tips for an Integrated Experience:
Start with Meditation: Before introducing sex toys, start with breathing exercises and meditation to prepare your body and mind.
Choose Quality: Investing in body-safe, high-quality sex toys ensures a better experience and durability.
Explore Slowly: Tantra is about conscious attention. Introduce each toy slowly and intentionally.
Hygiene: Ensure regular cleaning of your toys to keep them safe and effective.
The Basis of Tantric Energy.
To truly appreciate the fusion of tantra and sex toys, we must first understand the basic energies of tantra. In tantric traditions, the body is seen as a temple full of energy centers or chakras. These chakras regulate our physical, emotional and spiritual health.
The two primary energies in tantra are Shiva and Shakti. Shiva represents the masculine, consciousness, while Shakti represents the feminine, energy. In a sexual context, these energies come together, which can lead to intense, transcendental experiences.
Sex toys and the Chakras
When you introduce sex toys into your tantric practice, you can focus on different chakras:
Base chakra (Muladhara): Located at the tailbone, deals with survival and grounding. Anal toys, such as buttplugs, can help stimulate and balance this chakra.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhishthana): Located just below the navel, this chakra is about pleasure and sexuality. Prostate stimulators and massage vibrators can strengthen this chakra.
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): This is the center of willpower. Deep breathing and toys that provide gentle vibrations can help balance this chakra.
Heart Chakra (Anahata): It's all about love and connection. During your tantric practice, embrace and caress your partner. Use feathers or other soft toys to stroke the body, stimulating the heart chakra.
Further Earning the Tantric Experience.
In addition to toys, there are other methods and tools you can incorporate:
Tantric Breathing: Breathing is the life force of tantra. By breathing consciously and deeply, you can allow energy to flow and intensify your sensations.
Mantras and Sound: Chanting or reciting mantras can send vibrations through the body, enhancing energy flow. Also, uttering sounds of pleasure or delight can enhance the experience.
Bondage and Sensory Play: While it may not be traditional in tantra, light forms of bondage or sensory play can increase awareness and make the body more sensitive to touch and sensation.
Attention to Environment: Provide a safe, quiet and sacred space for your tantric practice. Use scented candles, soft music, and comfortable bedding to create an atmosphere of sensuality and devotion.
Communication: Talk to your partner about your desires, boundaries, and longings. This open communication is fundamental in tantra and will make the integration of sex toys much smoother and more satisfying.
