| In the post Ask Steve - Sex, you talk about how you are struggling to find a new mindset about sexually intimacy. Specifically, about how you could express emotional intimacy in new way. You explore the options of using of tantra to deepen connection, embracing polyamory and channeling the sex energy into other mediums. Did you ever solve this problem?

| I admit I'm no tantra expert, but I don't think it's BS. Boiled down, isn't tantra (in regards to sex) mostly about being super aware of your lover and the world around you, so that even the slightest touch (like holding hands) can be extremely pleasurable. I think a lot of people would have better sex lives if they practiced tantric awareness. |

| Intimacy requires time together were all lifes pressures stay outside the door and you can just be together enjoying, exploring each other. Were past and future don't exist, only this moment. Were you can laze in long stretched out moments of closeness. Time where you can talk and share your deeper thoughts. Time to love and nurture each other, wash each others bodies and groom each other, laugh a lot. Make love slowly and come back for more. It's in intimacy that technique is no longer required because you naturally respond to each other desires. It's a rare commodity in this fast pace world. Lallymac |

| Please stay on topic. Obviously anyone can share their viewpoint on these issues but I specifically wanted Steve to follow up his "Ask Steve - Sex" post. If you read his post, Steve wanted to use tantra as a way to deepen emotion intimacy but it felt too sexual for him. He thinks about expanding intimacy with more people, sort of a polyamorous route. He also ponders the option of expressing intimacy in a more abstract way, through another medium. If you have thoughts on the above issues, please express them.

| I too would like to discuss the idea of rechanneled sex energy. I've got a very active libido, both from a spiritual sexuality (i.e. liking intimacy, physical affection, etc) and a physical one (I get very uncomfortable if I don't orgasm at least once in a 24 hour period - I'm on a nearly 40 y/o man - and I don't mean adolescent discomfort, like erections - I mean the other plumbling kind of discomfort). Learning how to redirect some of that would be a huge plus, for me. Tantric sex includes sex but the actual act of intercourse itself is a smaller part of it then you might have been led to believe, Munish. A lot of it is building intimacy through touch, shared meditiation and bodily awareness, similar to what you mentioned. |

I'll read the books on Tantra and ignore the sexual stuff. I'm looking for ways to connect emotionally and sensually. I want to either deepen or widen my experiences. Perhaps through a form of polyamory or with a medium like photography. New thread?
