{In Season 2 of the popular VH1 original series \u201cSingle Ladies,\u201d leading lady Raquel and her love interest interacted in a steamy love scene that, at the time, was the talk of social media. Open to new experiences and completely infatuated with the new man in her life, Raquel was presented with the idea of participating in tantric sex.}<\/p>\n

A bit apprehensive at first, Raquel finally agreed and was lead by her partner in a series of breathing exercises, eye contact and intimate touching that eventually led to a heated scene of lovemaking. For many watching the show, the concept of tantric sex was foreign, leading many to wonder exactly what tantra is in the first place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

For many who are members of the \u2018conscious community,\u2019 the word and its philosophy isn\u2019t a new concept, but for the average religion-bound individual the world of tantra is unknown.<\/p>\n

\"Take<\/figure>\n

Tantra is a style of meditation and ritual credited to the Indian culture over 6,000 years ago, and its basis is rooted in connecting with the divine through the use of spiritual energy. In the case of tantric sex, sexual energy is used to not only come into complete unity with a beloved but to also draw closer to a higher power.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/figure>\n

Imagine being able to feel those euphoric moments over and over in the period of 30 minutes. Tantric sex allows couples to become multi-orgasmic and to use sex as a form of manifestation to not only improve their relationship but each individual\u2019s overall health.<\/p>\n

So how does one go about participating in tantric sex? It\u2019s more simple than you would think.<\/p>\n

The practice involves intimate touching, synchronized breathing and giving each other permission to touch or engage with the other. The key is to hold off on engaging in intercourse for as long as you can. Set aside a special time for this activity, create an intimate atmosphere, dress comfortably yet provocatively to entice desire, practice erotic massage, take a bath together and wash each other lovingly, and practice sitting in each other\u2019s presence by staring into each other\u2019s eyes intimately with legs crossed facing each other. Think of tantric sex as extended foreplay. Be comfortable, welcome love and enjoy embracing your partner by allowing the sexual energy between you to peak before engaging in actual intercourse.<\/p>\n
