Tantric Sex for Women: A Guide for Lesbian, Bi, Hetero, and Solo Lovers

by Christa Schulte

Using an inclusive, empowering approach, this book explains how every woman — heterosexual, lesbian, bisexual or solo — can add relish to sexual encounters and increase her pleasure through use of tantric methods. In a warm, knowledgeable tone, Christa Schulte explains all the basics of tantric sex, including how to become more body-aware, how to cultivate pleasure using all five senses and how to practice "Tara-tantra," a woman-centered tantric method of her own creation.

Exercises form the heart of the book and cover numerous practical strategies for helping women enhance their sensitivity, remove barriers to fulfilling experiences, and explore the spiritual dimension of their sexuality. Not only does Tantric Sex for Women show its readers how to expand and enhance sexual gratification, it promotes an attitude of remaining open to the many ecstasies of everyday life.

This book contains crucial information for women of every sexual orientation interested in fulfilling their sexual and sensual potential.

Once you're a little more advance in the bedroom with a woman, this book can give you some mind-blowing tips on how to do...well I won't go into it here. It's the best sex book two woman can use, in my opinion. Had some great nights thanks to this book.

I read this book back in my 20s when it first came out, and I've returned to it again. Like most books on sex and sexuality, there's a smattering of 101 information, but what really makes this book stand out in terms of Western Tantra is its inclusive and therapeutic bent. Most Western Tantra books are written with a cis het audience in mind. Schulte is a feminist psychotherapist and employs a trauma-conscious awareness as well as mindful language regarding gender throughout.

Western Tantra techniques are essentially yogic techniques such as pranayama and meditative/mindful touch employed erotically. This is a great primer for the queer beginner with lots of fun exercises for couples and solo mindful sex. I would say if you're not already pretty woo-woo and steeped in the culture of Westernized Yoga/really crunchy, the exercises might be off-putting and feel really inhibiting if you're not used to vocalizing, employing a range of different breathing techniques, and moving your body in experimental ways. These exercises are definitely not for the shy or terribly serious, so be sure to bring a healthy sense of humor and play with you when you practice these techniques and exercises alone or with a partner!

I am a huge believer in reaching joy within yourself and your partner. To reach multiple levels of pleasure and orgasm(they are NOT the same). This is a sweet and sensitive guide.
