Yoni Worship: Ask Suzie

In any Tantric practice, involving partners, it isn’t necessary to have your partner even be aware of what you are practicing. It helps tremendously, of course, but it isn’t necessary. Both of you will benefit from the experiences and the ‘unknowing’ one may actually fall right into a sort of natural Tantric rhythm once a few sessions have happened. Having your partner/lover not interested is no reason not to proceed!… Continue reading

Celibacy and Tantric Practices

I often receive questions that I think would benefit others to read about. Here’s is a new one from a visitor to this site: I recently took a vow of celibacy, but am empathic.  I want to work with my … Continue reading

What Do Singing, Throats And The Vagus Nerve Have To Do With Orgasm?

It’s fairly gorgeous in Sonoma County this time of year and the days are getting warmer. This afternoon I rode in my car with my windows down and the radio blasting. The song was Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It.” It doesn’t matter as much what song it was as that it is a full-throated, lusty song, one that you have to open up your mouth to sing and open it big. And you have to open up your chest and throat, too. Continue reading

I’ll Have What She’s Having: How Mirror Neurons and Music Increase Pleasure

I went to see Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal the other night in Oakland California. The setting was beautiful and the crowd was thrilled with the music and the vibes. Late in the program, as they sang a lusty, bluesy song together Taj began to wave his hands in the air and he encouraged us all to do it with him. Everyone began waving their hands and arms in the air and we all fell into a side-to-side sweeping, wave of ecstatic dancing! We were like one big sea anemone, an organism, waving in a sea of music and bodies and bliss. Continue reading

The Curious Association Of The G-Spot And The Upper Palate

I discovered this dual connection between the mouth and the yoni quite a few years back and have never heard anyone else refer to it before. I love oral sex and had wondered why that might be so. Yes, I love to eat, so that is a part of it — OK, I’m oral! I have also noticed that during oral sex it’s the slow out-stroke that always gets me. It’s the same with intercourse. Continue reading

Yin/Yang: An Intersexed South African Runner As Symbol Of The Universal

In some cultures, over the millennia, inter-sexed people have even been revered as shamans and holy people – they are closer to the ideal of a balanced, universal soul. Think of the Yin/Yang symbol. We all know it. It means ‘balance’ – male/female balance. Look at the picture above. This is Shiva and Shakti, the male and female representation of God/Goddess in India. Both are a manifestation of ‘One Spirit’. It is actually an ideal way of being that is sought after by those who would attain enlightenment. Continue reading

Sex And The Memory of Sexual Experience

Recent scientific research is beginning to investigate the relationships between experience and the memories of experience. Researchers are seeing that certain areas of the brain light up depending on the thoughts, actions and experiences of a person. Detailed maps of the brain now exist for the repeated patterns that we human’s experience. There are precise regions of the brain that light up when we see our child or grandchild. Everyone has similar patterns with slight variations that depend on how you feel about that child or grandchild. The rush of ‘love’ chemicals; dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, opiates and other neurotransmitters, fill our body and brain quickly to produce the incredible feelings of love and attachment that are involved in the profound moment when that child’s eyes light up upon seeing you and hugging you.

Partner As Guru: Relationship As An Evolutionary Tool (VIDEO)

I had an agenda. I wanted him to love me unconditionally because I felt that I had loved him that way for many years and he hadn’t reciprocated the way I wanted him to. This is unconditional? Obviously this isn’t the way to heal from whatever it was that caused me to even think I could get what every woman (and man for that matter) fantasizes about and thinks they want – pure devotion. Ah…

Enlightened Sex: Women’s Tantric Breathing And Orgasm (Video)

Each of us is responsible for our own pleasure. Blaming your partner isn’t going to get you very far. Knowing your own body and the sexual stimuli you desire is of the utmost importance. But there is another thing a woman can do to advocate for her sexual focus and presence. It will increase the blood flow to her extremities (think clitoris, G-spot and pelvic area) and help her focus her mind on sexual turn-on and the stimulus she is receiving. That ‘thing’ is breathing… Continue reading

The New Purpose of Sex: Unplug Into the ‘Now’

Ok, let’s keep that intense, new love stuff, the dopamine high. Then, if two people decide that they are very much in love and want to move to the next steps of relationship the ‘cuddle’ affect takes over. And though sex may slow down the bond between the lovers gets tighter. Then a few years go by, there are babies and careers and a mortgage and responsibilities galore. Time seems to have disappeared and stress can seem to take center stage. What does love look like now?… Continue reading
