Throw Out Tantric Sex🗑️💋👋
Ok, admittingly a loaded title on purpose. Tantric Sex and Tantra in general is a wonderful concept, as its all about being more conscious and self aware. However, I find that due to shame around sex, Tantric ideas have become to cold and calculated.🤖

2. I find that Tantric concepts often fall to deeply into the mind/third eye obsessed part of spirituality that often seeks to escape embodiment. Thus, what should be about becoming more spiritually embodied turns into just more spiritual escapism from our physical sexual nature.

3. It becomes all about using sex to ascend to higher planes. That would be great, if it still grounded into the psychical plane as well. This creates a system of ungrounded rules that still sees sex as dirty, or to primal, only being accepted within some kind of spiritual dogma.

4. This is also where the "guru" will come into the bed room so to speak. I'll be frank, I have found very few spiritual sex teachers that I resonate with. Some are more grounded than others, but most seem stuck with this idea that sex is ABC 123. It sounds more like doing taxes.

5. These overly structured approaches are largely due to shame, masquerading as high spiritual teachings, in response to the hundreds of years of dark occult suppression of our sexual sovereignty. This has left us horribly disembodied from our natural sexual discernment and flow.

6. The shame and dogma often extends into self pleasure as well, often having overlap with no fap theories of sexual energy. I have even seen the idea that self pleasure is ok in a tantric way, only if you don't fantasize sexually. Umm say what? This is just pure shame and fear.

7. We are simply terrified to admit that we are sexual beings with sexual desires. Thus even spiritual sex ideas that should take our desires to new spiritually embodied heights of greater feeling, instead seek to remove us from feeling when it comes to anything sexual in nature.

8. If this lack of feeling and escapism continues within these mental only spiritual worlds, than they to will fall into the transhumanist dystopia nightmare of plugging yourself into the matrix so they can "transcend" the body. Sex will than become Demolition Man style at best.

9. Books, teachings and so on can be helpful, but ultimately real tantric sex should be a spiritually embodied act of worship between yourself and your partner with greater awareness, love, exploration, and yes SEXUAL DESIRE! Desires should not be forsaken but made spiritualized.
