Tantric Sex: What It Is and How To Have It

Tantric sex, often wrongly depicted as a wild, epiphanic practice (think Meg Ryan faking an orgasm over pancakes in When Harry Met Sally), is a mindful form of sex. The word ‘tantra’ comes from the Sanskrit root which means ‘to weave’. And while linguistic analysis is the dustiest way to learn about sex, it’s actually a good path into the practice, which ‘weaves’ together physicality and spirituality to heighten sexual intimacy.
