I am very proud to introduce my latest book, a slender high-quality trade paperback--another fabulous Quiver book!--that re-makes Tantra in my own xUrban Culture image. [xUrban Culture, a term coined by urban marketing genius Dakota Pippins: A global tribe of people, largely under 35 but including aging Boomers and others--who share a set of values and attitudes, including among others respect for diversity, irreverence, individual style and the inclination to re-invent traditions to accommodate the fast-paced realities of modern technological life.] Tantra, really Neo-Tantra, as practiced in the Western world is stale and insufferably smug--and just takes too damn long unless you're on holiday.
A quote from my book The New Tantra: Simple and Sexy:
"Most of the workshops seemed a little bit silly and too woo-woo for our tastes. We didn't jive with all the white, middle-aged, strictly heterosexual couples-oriented, New Age Tantra thing, and we ran into some trouble as we were the only queer, edgy, freaky folks there," Annie Sprinkle in the introduction to her friend Barbara Carellas' book Urban Tantra.
Barbara's book (Tantra slanted to gay people and those into BDSM) inspired me to take my own version of Tantra--Fusion Tantra-- and make it into a book too. Fusion Tantra takes the best parts of Tantra--the sex techniques--and incorporates them into Western lovemaking styles and practices. If you are young or single or not monogamous and/or have no patience for long sessions of soul gazing with your partner--this is the Tantra for you.
A quick Sex Tip from the book:
The Breath of Fire
The Breath of Fire is the quickest way I know to jump-start either my sexual energy or my libido. It oxygenates the blood quickly, truly building your fire. The exercise is simple: Take rapid, rhythmic, and shallow breaths through your nose while keeping your mouth closed. Breath this way for one to three minutes. Feel your heartbeat accelerate and your genitals respond.
