of "spiritual/energy sex" was a little "tree-
hugging-hippy" for me. However, when
I decided to be less judgmental and a
little more open-minded, I stumbled onto
an education about my own body and
orgasms which I didn't know was possible.
tantra is love, run by Eyal and Emma,
offers presentations and workshops, which are
a combination of theoretical knowledge,
fun exercises, group discussions and "home
work" for later solo and couple practice.
eyal has been studying and
practising various forms of Tantra, sexuality,
yoga and meditation since 2000, and works
with women on resolving sexual trauma
and expanding their orgasmic potential,
with men on becoming more conscious
and present as well as better lovers. Tantric
Yoga Teacher, Emma, has traveled the
world, studying and teaching Tantra, Yoga
and Sacred Sexuality practices. She is a
strong believer in the extraordinary and
transformative effect this work can have.
they ran a workshop called "OMG
Orgasms" at a Sex Camp I attended (and
wrote about in the March issue of dare).
And, with a name like that, you can bet the
room was full. I listened intently as Emma
shared her story.
"for many years, I was non-orgasmic.
I thought I may go through life and never
have an orgasm. When I came across Tantra
EvErYTHING changed for me. Not only
was I orgasming, but I started having many
different types of orgasm. Orgasms from
different parts of my body, and orgasms
that had different types of ecstatic results.
As I continued to explore, I became so
orgasmic that I could have an orgasm
simply by thinking about it. No physical
touch required."
demonstrated one of her "no physical
touch" orgasms as I pondered the question,
"Is that actually possible?" Yes, it is and in
her Women's Workshop she discusses the
eight different kinds of orgasm women can
experience. I'll definitely have what she's
having thanks.
the realisation of how possible it was
for me to have mind- blowing orgasms
didn't hit me until we attended their two
1/2 day workshops. We learned tantric
exercises and techniques to increase
orgasmic pleasure for ourselves, and what
we could use and do to our partners or
playmates to increase their pleasure. I
wasn't the only one who wished for this
education sooner.
"there is a lot of untapped orgasm
potential in women, and often all it takes
is the knowledge of the different types of
orgasm that exist, in order to experience
them," says Emma. Even though you think
you're going to learn how to be more
orgasmic, Tantra also teaches you how
connect more deeply and authentically
with yourself and your partner.
"tantra gives you the perfect
framework in which to bring more depth
and intimacy to your relationships," says
Emma. Tantra also has a holistic living
philosophy. Although before you freak
out, going vegan, stopping shaving your
legs or swapping your Jag jeans for cotton
drawstring pants are not prerequisites for
your Tantric bush to run free.
the beauty of Emma and Eyal's
teachings is that they encourage you to
adopt only those attitudes and practices
that work best for you and your
partner. For more information visit
