Effective Tantra Breathing Technique to Prolong Sexual Intercourse

In Kundalini Tantra Yoga we don’t try to suppress or sublimate sexual energy, instead we look to raise it’s vibration so that our sexual charge can be utilized for nourishing our higher centers (chakras).  There are many Kundlaini Tantra Yoga Kriyas (sets), breathing exercises and meditations to help raise and channel our sexual energies.  In due course I will provide these techniques on Mastery of Meditation, but in this article I want to explore the closely related school of Sexual Tantra which is the application of Kundalini Tantra Yoga with regard to sex itself.

In this variation of Kundalini Tantra Yoga, the sex act is utilized to not only arouse and intensify one’s sexual excitement in order to reach heightened states of eroticism, but, much more importantly, sex is used to reach and experience altered states of consciousness.

Of the many requirements and prerequisites for practicing Sexual Tantra the following 2 are most important:

Key Requirements for Practicing Sexual Tantra:

1.  Loving Partner:  Most important for the practice of this branch of Tantra is to have a loving, understanding and hopefully interested partner.  Sexual Tantra is not really about just having sex, although you may end up doing that a lot :-).  It is about exploring this communion between the male (Shiva) and female (Shakti) manifestations in order to reverse genesis.  In other words, from One there came many (in this case 2) and in Sexual Tantra, via sex, Shiva and Shakti merge such that the many return to One. 

2. Sexual Control:  If you want to go very far in the exploration of Sexual Tantra, you better learn to master your sexual passions.  There are many facets to this mastery of your sexual nature and this article is to help the male partner master his ejaculatory response during sexual intercourse.

Tantric Breathing Technique to Prolong Sexual Intercourse:

The following technique is a variation of Kapalbhati Pranayama and it is simple yet very effective.

During sexual intercourse, as the excitement peaks for the male and he approaches orgasm he should begin to do Kapalbhati Pranayama through the mouth.  Specifically, he should puff air out of his mouth while pulling in the stomach muscle sharply with each exhalation.  As in Kapalbhati, allow the stomach to relax for the recoil inhalation to take place. This rapid puffing out of air through the mouth changes the blood chemistry and will retard ejaculation by easing the blood supply to the male sexual organ.

As with any skill, practice makes perfect, but unlike the grind that practice usually is, I suspect you won’t mind working on this one so much :-).
