Introduction to Tantra & Kama Sutra Sex Positions
Through these lovely photos and explanatory text we have endeavored to capture the emotional and energetic connection of Tantric sacred lovemaking rather than simply illustrate sexual positions and technique.
These are real people in real bodies. Probably they have bodies that look a lot like yours. The lovers in these photos are experiencing and expressing something beautiful. The message is that you can have what they are showing you.
In this modern interpretation (not translation) of the classic love texts from India and Arabia we have omitted the redundant descriptions of each position that are commonly found in illustrated books of sex. Instead we comment on how and why the position is used, and we include useful information about sacred lovemaking practices.
If you have ever browsed through a book illustrating sexual positions you will recall that some of the positions shown seem to be anatomically impossible. This is because a drawing can show people doing easily what no ordinary human being could ever actually do. When selecting sexual positions to try, don’t bother unless you see the position illustrated with a photograph. All of our sexual positions are illustrated with photographs.
There are some sexual positions, even though ‘doable’, require the lovers to be exceedingly acrobatic, physically flexible, and very strong. These positions appeal to practitioners of “extreme” Tantra Sexual Yoga. Almost every endeavor that requires a discipline of body and mind has an extreme variation. Practitioners of Extreme Tantra Sexual Yoga utilize lovemaking positions as they would other Hatha Yoga postures, as an advanced, disciplined physical meditation technique, rather than as an ecstatic sacred lovemaking practice.
We have eliminated these extreme postures from this collection. Most of the positions illustrated here are suitable for lovers of all ages, and with some selectivity, in various stages of physical fitness and health. In other words, you don’t have to be an athlete, young, or perfectly fit and healthy to use this manual.
Since our definition of sex goes far beyond sexual intercourse, including all the delicious foreplay and the deep emotional connection of afterplay, we have included selections with commentary on those topics. Also included are illustrated selections on oral sex (cunnilingus and fellatio), BDSM (bondage/discipline/sadism/masochism) play, loving body discovery, massage, creating a sacred space and sacred bathing.
