I have not yet watched the associated video, but I can tell you that any sturdy armless chair will work for this, and it is a great position for the woman to hit the g-spot. I discovered this by accident on a balcony in Matzatlan on the patio chair, and promptly bought one for my boyfriend’s house (an indoor version, just needs to have a strong back and no arms.) Also, some car seats work well for this position. The benefit over traditional woman-on-top is that the man is sitting up and locked into the position and she then can manipulate her own movements without him shifting away. Nice Alexa M.

Tantra aims at expanding the experience of everyday life, of enjoying and living life to the full, as a means to higher awareness. It encompasses all aspect of life, whether in the material world or that which is transcendent.

The word 'tantra' is made up of two words: tanoti and trayati. The word tanoti means 'to expand' to stretch' to extend',while the word trayati means 'to liberate' or 'free'.Therefore tar-tra (tan+tra) means to expand ons's experience and awareness of everything, to extend the frontiers of apprehension beyond the material, and hence to attain spiritual knowledge and liberation.

Amen to "That’s all fine and good—if it weren’t just a slightly “Asian” flavor of soltcore how-to porn for bored yuppies in couples therapy." LOL This is just porn and people out to make money, it has nothing to do with spirituality.

Free? If you actually want to read ele, it’s a nominal $12 a year. But cheap and worth it to me in times when a lousy journal article is ~$20.

Information will only be truly free again when we go back to distributing pamphlets on the streets. It is free now you say? No, it’s not, and getting less so. Cycles though, it’s all cycles.
