Enlightenment

Someone I hold in high regard once told me (At a certain stage on the yoga path you can have everything you desire be very careful what you desire.)
he followed that up with ( when you give it all up you can have it all). I am still dealing with those two statements.

Hopefully I will never achieve any kind of enlightenment. I prefer my vices. The oracle of Delphi claimed Socrates was the wisest man in ancient Greece due to him knowing that he didn't know. And look where that got him. He had to drink a cup full of hemlock and ended up dead. Ignorance is bliss I say! Hedonism is the proper way of life.

I think this comes about because from the male perspective Tantric sex teaches the male how to control and prolong his erection without climaxeing. in Tantric sex timeing and shareing is everything and the sexual act becomes an act of worship and teaches how to raise energy through the Chakras.

IME that's one aspect of prolonging a woman's orgasms. other aspects include simply being patient and not necessarily even using the johnson to keep her going. i.e., use the fingers, tongue, nose or whatever else works, heh. keep her in that safe protected place that women long for and gently push her buttons. IME you can get a reciprocal feeling of power and contentment being able to satisfy a woman like that. although a lot of women i've, uh... met... seem too impatient or uninspired to get these kinds of results.

anyway, it's a fascinating subject. and another aspect, for the male, is the ability to hold his orgasms in order to retain chi. or to orgasm without emission, which is possibly the most kungfu of sexual moves out there.

"when you give it all up you can have it all"

nice!

that's what more or less what i'm aiming for in this miserable, god-forsaken existence... it's just that the carrot is eternally dangling out of reach. not to mention as a wannabe-buddhist i consider reincarnation to be a nice, comforting metaphor but complete rubbish in the empirical sense. (oh dear)

dunno about tantric sex but I think most of us are well versed in tantrum sex

Ah yes...or as it's been called in our house in times past, 'the path to abstinence.'
