exploring deeper emotional connection through Tantra

Tantra sex and traditional intercourse are two distinct practices that each offer unique experiences for couples. Although both activities involve intimate connection and pleasure, understanding the major differences between them can help you make the most of your sexual encounters.


In Tantric sex, couples seek to use sexuality as a spiritual path. This involves slowing down movements and incorporating breath work, meditation, eye gazing, and other sensuous activities into their routine. Tantric sex is more focused on connecting with a partner on an emotional level than just physical pleasure. It’s a practice that encourages couples to explore their deepest feelings while exploring the power of touch and energy exchange through massage or subtle caressing.


Traditional intercourse focuses more on achieving orgasm without often exploring the deeper emotional and spiritual aspects of sex. It’s a more physical practice that involves genital stimulation and penetration to get to the point of climax. Traditional intercourse is focused on achieving pleasure in an efficient manner without spending a lot of time on foreplay or afterglow activities.


Here are five key points to consider when comparing Tantra sex vs. traditional intercourse: intention, movement, foreplay, afterglow, and spiritual connection. Keep reading to learn more about how each of these points can influence your sexual experience. ​


1. Intention: Tantric sex is focused on connecting with a partner emotionally, while traditional intercourse is more goal-oriented and focused on achieving an orgasm.


2. Movement: In Tantra, movement is slower and more intentional. In traditional intercourse, movements are often faster and more shallow.


3. Foreplay: Tantric sex involves incorporating breath work, meditation, eye gazing, massage, or other sensuous activities into your routine in order to build up anticipation for the eventual climax whereas foreplay may be skipped or shortened in traditional intercourse in order to reach orgasm quickly.


4. Afterglow: The afterglow period of Tantra includes plenty of time for cuddling and connection with your partner, while traditional intercourse does not often include this deeper emotional connection.


5. Spiritual Connection: Tantra is considered to be a spiritual practice, whereas traditional intercourse does not typically involve any type of spiritual connection.
