THERE'S
TANTRA AND TANTRA REGARDING THE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF ORIENTAL
LOVEMAKING
There
is a lot of confusion surrounding Tantra yoga and Taoist sex. In
ancient texts, the way of presenting the ideas under a single label
leads to confusing three different ways of having sex. The differences
between these three methods lie above all in what the man must do
or not do. The method described up to now, the peak-experience orgasm,
is one of these three ways. The peak-experience orgasm (or sweet
Tantra) is characterized by the fact that you don't do anything.
And, in particular, you don't do anything to withhold or prevent
ejaculation. You simply fall into a state of beatitude that is different
from reaching the pinnacle of excitement that corresponds to the
typical orgasm.
The
other two techniques that are often confused with each other foresee
reaching typical orgasm and experiencing a sort of ejaculation,
but without there being a real emission of seminal fluid. I would
like to begin by saying that I judge these two methods insane and
a little absurd and that if you are interested in trying them you
have to take courses with very knowledgeable teachers because if
they are not accompanied with specific relaxation practices (yoga
or ci kung) they can cause serious irritations and contractions.
Therefore proceed carefully. I would define these two methods as
missed ejaculation (widely practiced in China) and dry orgasm (practiced
mainly in India), and I will take all praise to have been the first
to describe these methods in a way that is easy to understand.
To reach non-ejaculation, the man makes love by plunging and withdrawing
his penis from the scented lily. He does it rhythmically, alternating
three deep and one superficial thrust. When he feels excitement
mounting, he stops, takes a breath, retracts his abdominal muscles
and forcefully contracts his pubococcygeal muscle (the one you use
to block your pee). When he then desires it, he reaches orgasm,
but continues to contract this muscle rhythmically, enabling the
canal of the urethra to close as sperm is about to spill out. That
is, it precisely prevents emission. Sperm thus blocked turn back.
It's a very strange sensation.
Orgasm
is weak as a result because you are mentally involved. This method
is also used in the West as contraception by a certain group of
Spanish Catholics. Missed ejaculation is erroneously defined by
some as multiple orgasm. It is true that by blocking ejaculation
in such a way you don't lose your erection, but it is also true
that there isn't any pleasure in doing it because there is no real
orgasm. There is only the pleasure of having looked clever. Conversely,
the dry orgasm method foresees that you must devote yourself to
moving the least possible. You have to remain relaxed and contract
rhythmically and slowly the muscle that closes the anus. After around
31 minutes, you have a sort orgasmic release without sperm attempting
to come out. Tension simply slows down with rhythmic releases of
warmth and pleasure. Even in this case, there is orgasmic pleasure,
but it's very disappointing. Periodically, however, whoever practices
these methods must ejaculate to avoid irritation.
The
frequency of necessary ejaculations varies gradually with age: every
four days for a young man, every twenty-eight days for an old man.
This is very important. All the ancient texts that illustrate these
methods maintain that the purpose of these practices is the cosmic
union between male and female and total meditative abandon. But
then they propose two methods that lead precisely in the opposite
direction. The reason is historical. I am convinced that the original
idea, Tantric love at its purest and spiritual, would be the one
that we proposed (peak-experience orgasm).
