Diana Richardson - Tantric Sex for Men

coming to the surface. Sometimes we don’t know what is going on—misunderstandings also arise—but at the end the sky

becomes clear and serene and we have new insights. In any case we feel closer to each other and more loving. Of course

we have just opened this door a little, and we know that we have just a little experience of what we have learned from

you, but it seems like a new page in our lives.

Healing Hatred toward Men

I would like to add a few things important to me. In our lovemaking many of my old fears, distrust, and anger toward men

came out. It was sometimes very difficult for me to accept all my old hatred toward men, but I managed it, seeing that my

husband is not that kind of man at this moment. He is full of love and compassion, and that helps me a lot. But also after

those difficult moments, today we had some wonderful experiences. Feeling his penis inside, doing nothing, was such a

tremendous joy, I felt that now life is beautiful, and it just goes on and on. It is some kind of miracle for me, and I thank

you for that.

For me it’s sometimes difficult to look at all the things that are coming up, to accept that lovemaking is like meditation,

and to just watch what is coming up and not do something about it. But I like this process very much and see that I can

become more aware through it, so it feels right for me.

Our Lovemaking Is Helping to Heal the Earth

Our lives have changed a lot in the past seven years, since we have changed a lot. We still pursue the same professions,

own the same house, and so on, but within us something has changed considerably. We feel, sense, and see more, and

most of all, we have learned to feel, sense, and see inside. In our daily encounters we reach physical, mental, and

spiritual depths that we never considered possible.

Our love journeys have diversified. They lead us deep into our bodies, to Mother Earth, through space, to the sun,

through the chakras and their colors, to temples, angels, and through previous lives. On physical, mental, and spiritual

levels we are creating healing connections for our own healing and for the healing of others. We are sending healing

energies to the earth, to war zones and disaster areas. We are breaking patterns from our past and from past lives.

We do all this in a deep loving connection, feeling the golden ring that streams from the penis to the breasts through

the vagina, the garden of love, the kundalini line, and the organs. This golden ring stays with us throughout our

everyday life. It also streams when we are not actually physically connected. It streams across continents, and we can

sense our love connection physically when we are apart.

This ring, which we forged in our first tantra course, gets stronger and stronger, and we realize that the people

around us can feel it, even if they know nothing about our tantric connection. We relate differently to life; we’re more

awake, more conscious.

Due to our healing connection we can participate in world affairs on a spiritual level, and we sense that it makes a

difference. Our tantric connections are evolving. We feel this again and again with great pleasure.

Gratefully Relieved of a Job

I am writing to express gratitude for the beautiful and profound retreat that my woman and I attended in December 2008.

For forty years I have been searching, researching, and experimenting, knowing deep down that lovemaking holds the

key to the expression of love between a man and a woman. This search led me to tantra fifteen years ago, and with each

workshop since, with some of the best teachers in the Western world, I ended up with just another set of techniques that

focused on achieving various phenomena. Little did I realize that each of these was distracting me from what I wanted

most, namely, to connect in love with my lover. What I learned in the “Making Love” retreat is that this is totally available

for me in stillness in lovemaking. When my mind and body are still my heart opens and my penis becomes a vehicle of

loving, healing male energy.

Also during the retreat I experienced what I can only describe as a change in consciousness around my male

sexuality. Like all men that I know, since my earliest sexual experiences I felt driven by some force within me toward

sexual pleasure and ejaculation. While I love sex and sexual pleasure, every so often I noticed this feeling of being out of

control, as if sex had control of me. After my first tantra workshops and reading Taoist books on sex, I began to practice

ejaculation control in lovemaking and conserving vital energy by not ejaculating with every experience of lovemaking.

While this provided great sexual experiences and gave me the beginnings of a sense of mastery, it was still control of a

strong biological urge and suppressing the habit of the intense pleasure of ejaculation.

During the “Making Love” retreat there was a shift. In our lovemaking we had the time to really experience what it

was like not to move toward excitement. It was as if we created the space for something new to manifest. We had the

opportunity to really appreciate one another. We experienced healing of past sexual hurts. We expressed the love that we

felt. We saw and felt the beauty of male and female body joined in love. For me it was as if this deep experience of

extended presence in love outweighed the fleeting pleasure of ejaculation.

There is a very practical aspect that I enjoy about this way of making love. In past lovemaking I always felt as if I had

a big job to do. The first thing I had to do was to gently seduce my lover to get her interested in having sex, and then help

her to awaken sexually so that she was ready for intercourse. The next part of the job was to build the level of excitement

till she was approaching her orgasm. If I decided that I would ejaculate it was preferable that we try to orgasm together.

Alternatively, I would have the job of withholding the energy and semen of ejaculation while she had her orgasm. That’s

a lot of work for a man to do. It didn’t leave much time for me to experience and express love.

Now it’s simple. Together we both look for the next opportunity to make love. We connect in cool pleasure and I have

no job to do other than be present.

Opening and Closing My Heart

I will not give my power, my life-power away again. Since the workshop I feel alive, my heart is beating strongly. I am full

of beans. I feel grateful for my love, my cheerfulness, my joy about a new day and about this gift. But I also feel pain for

the many times when I did not, or could not, do what I actually wanted to do. A kiss with my beloved in the morning, a
