What exactly do you want to know? Tantra's a religious tradition with lots of many different practises and yoga techniques. It's one of those religious formations that deify sexuality and that has devised several techniques to experience sexuality in a very spiritual way. Have a look at this page, I'm sure you'll find links to actual tantric sex techniques there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantra Have fun.
I would say that you need to more fully understand kundalini, understand how its related, also the chakras... and maybe think about why the church has always tried to suppress sexuality, and how it comes out in guilt and fear(only one chakra above) and see how/why trantra could be a good release from those bonds.. heehe
tantra has a lot of meaning essoterically and physically. I have been practicing tantra for about 3 years and I would say the benefits are phenomenal. as a guy, I can now have an unlimited number of internal orgasms, as opposed to one shot ejaculations as most people do. the sex can last for hours and the connection that you make with your partner emotionally, physically and spiritually is intense. I can look at someone and can have an internal orgasm without touching them, just by a thought. I am not joking. "regular" sex is nowhere as good to me since I have learned tantra and I don't even think about ejaculating until I have had sex at least ten times. I once went 3 months not ejaculating while having sex a lot! the concept is to withdraw from trying to have a normal orgasm and try to hold back from it as long as you can while continuing to have sex. those who understand kundalini know that tantra is designed to help one with health, as the more one has sex but refrains from ejaculation, particularly men, they will sustain energy as opposed to losing energy, especially males during regular ejaculation. when I have sex, when I am done I have tons of energy and I do not need as much sleep as I have cut the number of ejaculations yearly by 70%. for my wife, the sex is even more intense and the thought of normal wham bam thank u mam quickie is obsolete for me and the thought of it kind of disgusts me as the thought of forcing out semen seems painful. I meditate a lot so this amplified my meditation by ten as well. I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to really experience sex. magic mushrooms and tantra is for those who are looking for some serious spiritual awakening, but only recommended for experienced practitioners ;-D

I first got into it when I was filming 'The Guru' in 2002 and I haven't looked back. © David Gabber / PR Photos "What most people know about tantric sex is that it lasts eight hours. But you're not having sex continually. You can take a bath, massage your partner, listen to music. The idea is that you let the whole thing build very slowly until finally you merge with your partner. It works for me."
exactly. the idea is that the lower tantien acts as a "furnace" that can store up internal heat like a crucible that can be used to circulate energy through the body and may in fact allow for electrons to be stored in the electron transport chain in cells. marvin gaye seems to know something about it: Sexual Healing Oh, baby now let's get down tonight Ooh baby, I'm hot just like an oven I need some lovin' And baby, I can't hold it much longer It's getting stronger and stronger And when I get that feeling I want sexual healing Sexual healing, oh baby Makes me feel so fine Helps to relieve my mind Sexual healing baby, is good for me Sexual healing is something that's good for me Whenever blue teardrops are fallin' And my emotional stability is leaving me There is something I can do I can get on the telephone and call you up baby And honey I know you'll be there to relieve me The love you give to me will free me If you don't know the thing you're dealing Ohh I can tell you, darling, that it's sexual healing Get up, get up, get up, get up Let's make love tonight Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up 'Cos you do it right Baby, I got sick this mornin' A sea was stormin' inside of me Baby, I think I'm capsizin' The waves are risin' and risin' And when I get that feeling I want sexual healing Sexual healing is good for me Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/marvin-gaye-lyrics/sexual-healing-lyrics.html ] Sexual healing, baby, it's good for me Sexual healing is something that's good for me Well, it's good for me and it's so good to me my baby, ohh Come take control, just grab a hold Of my body and mind, soon we'll be making it, honey I'll be feeling fine, the way you heal me The way you thrill me, keep me comin' to you For you to sexually fulfill me You're my medicine, open up and let me in Darling, you're so great, I can't wait for you to operate I can't wait for you to operate, baby I can't wait for you to operate And baby, when I should be asleep at night I stay up and read And baby, baby, baby, I can't help but feel uptight For my passion needs And when I get this feeling I want sexual healing When I get this feeling I want sexual healing Baby, I can't stand it much longer It's getting stronger and stronger And when I get this feeling I need sexual healing Ohh, when I get this feeling I need sexual healing I gotta have sexual healing, darling 'Cos I'm all alone And I need sexual healing, darling Till you come back home Please don't procrastinate It's not good to masturbate Heather graham "You haven't lived until you've tried sexual healing."
http://scienceline.org/2006/09/ask-wenner-sex/ the brain produces a cocktail of hormones during sex, but for men when we ejaculate we lose much of our will and internal heat. if you lose too much of this heat then you will lose more and more of your life force. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_petite_mort La petite mort From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see La petite mort (disambiguation). "Little Death" redirects here. For other uses, see Little Death (disambiguation). La petite mort, French for "the little death", is a metaphor for orgasm. More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm or to a short period of melancholy or transcendence as a result of the expenditure of the "life force", the feeling whereof is caused by the release of oxytocin in the brain after the occurrence of the orgasm. Literary critic Roland Barthes spoke of la petite mort as the chief objective of reading literature. He metaphorically used the concept to describe the feeling one should get when experiencing any great literature. A recent study of brain activation patterns using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) give some support to the experience of a small death: "To some degree, the present results seem to be in accordance with this notion, because female orgasm is associated with decreased blood flow in the orbitofrontal cortex, a part of the brain that is crucial for behavioural control."[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dantian Dantian, dan t'ian, dan tien or tan t'ien (Chinese: 丹田 dāntián ; Japanese: 丹田 tanden; Korean: 단전 danjeon; Thai: ตันเถียน dantian literally "cinnabar or red field") is loosely translated as "elixir field". It is described as an important focal point for internal meditative techniques. There are various points of dantian. There is one at the top of the skull[citation needed] (top dantian), one at the forehead (up dantian), one below the heart (middle dantian), one down and beneath the navel (low dantian) and one at the soles of the feet[citation needed] (bottom dantian). However, dantian usually refers to the physical center of gravity located in the abdomen (about three finger widths below and two finger widths behind the navel). The dantian is important in neidan, qigong, neigong, tao yin and other breathing techniques, as well as in traditional Chinese medicine and meditation. In Eastern martial arts, the navel dantian is particularly important as it becomes the focal point of breathing technique as well as the center of balance and gravity.[1] Taoist and Buddhist teachers often instruct their students to center their mind in the dantian. This is believed to aid control of thoughts and emotions. Acting from the dantian is considered to be related to the state of samadhi. The dantian also roughly corresponds to the Indian concept of the manipura, or navel chakra.[citation needed] In yoga philosophy, it is thought to be the seat of prana that radiates outwards to the entire body.[2] Dantians Different schools of thought categorise dantian in various manners. For example, according to principles of Chinese alchemy, there are three dantians in the body. The upper dantian is in the brain just behind a point directly between the eyebrows and corresponds to the third eye. In Western anatomy, this point corresponds to the pituitary gland.[1][3] This is copied from the indian concept of chakras (central points through which prana is stored, see also nadis The middle dantian is in the heart and in Western anatomy is associated with the thymus gland. The lower dantian is located 1.3 inches, or 3 finger widths, below the navel and is also called the golden stove.[4] [edit]Lower dantian In speaking of the lower of the three points, the term dantian is often used interchangeably with the Japanese word hara (腹; Chinese: fù) which means simply "belly". In Chinese and Japanese tradition, it is considered the physical center of gravity of the human body and is the seat of one's internal energy (qi). A master of calligraphy, swordsmanship, tea ceremony, martial arts, among other arts, is held in the Japanese tradition to be "acting from the hara". this lower dantien being filled with energy is the symbolic representation of buddha with a big belly as embracing the buddha's belly is a stance in qigong which is designed to fill the lower dantien with jing, which is raw creative energy.

My ex told me that is my method. I dont think of it as tantric sex but maybe it is ? Checkout my orgasm thread it explains what I do.
Tehuti, I've been trying to research this for a couple of hours now and you seem to be the guy to ask about book or video recommendations. Any advice? I've never practiced yoga or meditation.
I recently read something that stated that during anal sex the giver benefits from receiving the downregulated energy from thr receiver by means of the energy travelling down the spinal cord, down through the anus and into the penis of the giver. Is this accurate? It is an interesting concept. I would be grateful for anybody who can shine some light on this. Regards TanTerra
