"Leah & Dr. Willow: Listener Tantric Sex Questions Answered | #197

Tantra Isn't What You Think…  Your Burning Questions, Finally Answered. You've heard the word Tantra thrown around, maybe even Googled it at 11pm and come away more confused than when you started. Same. In this episode, Leah and Willow go straight to the source, your listener questions, and bust the biggest myths about Tantra, tantric sex, and what any of this actually has to do with your real life, your real body, and your real relationships. 

⛤ Classical vs. neo-Tantra explained. Tantra means "tool for expansion" and neo-Tantra is showing up right now as a vehicle for sexual healing, because the culture needs it.

⛤ White Tantra vs. red Tantra. White Tantra is practicing your instrument solo (breath, meditation, presence). Red Tantra is making music with the band. You need both.

⛤ Ejaculatory choice. Tantra may be the most effective, side-effect-free path for men who want to last longer. Breath and sound are the two primary dials and learning to ride the arousal scale changes everything.

⛤ What a tantric orgasm actually is. Forget the genital sneeze. Full-body orgasms spread sensation from genitals to fingertips, toes, heart, and third eye and your body can be trained to get there.

⛤ Why sounding is non-negotiable. The jaw and throat mirror the pelvic bowl, and the vagus nerve runs right through it. Making sound isn't just sexy, it's how sensation travels through your whole body.

⛤ Breathwork as your fastest on-ramp. Slow nasal breathing drops cortisol, eases performance anxiety, and helps partners co-regulate, making intimacy feel safer and more pleasurable, fast.

Tantra Myths Busted

Leah 0:04

Most people think Tantra is either some ancient mystical secret reserved for monks on a mountaintop or a fancy word for really long sex. But honestly, neither of those are the full picture. Welcome to the Sex Reimagined Podcast. My name is Leah Piper, and I am with Dr. Willow Brown. And today, we are going deep into one of our absolute favorite topics, you guessed it, Tantra. Specifically, your questions about Tantra sex

Willow 0:32

So tune in, turn on, and fall in love with Tantra and us

Announcer 0:38

Welcome to the Sex Reimagined podcast, where sex is shame-free and pleasure forward. Let's get into the show

Leah 0:47

Okay. So we've got some great, questions that have been coming in. today we're doing tantra and sex. I know there'll be lots of other categories, so be sure to listen for new episodes coming out this summer

Willow 0:58

You know, in the last week or so, I've probably talked to three or four potential new clients, and when I ask them the question, "So have you studied Tantra? Do you know much about it? What do you know about Tantra?" Three of them have said, "Well, I know Sting practices it." I'm like, "Okay, so you don't know anything."

Leah 1:21

Yeah. I've heard you can have sex for eight hours.

Willow 1:24

great place to start. Yeah. so one of these, questions that I wanna kick us off with today that came in from a listener is, "I've been curious about Tantra for a while, but every time I look it up, I get two completely different things. One version seems deeply spiritual, and the other one seems like it's just about sex. So can you help me understand the difference

Classical vs Neo Tantra

Willow 1:47

and which one is actually Tantra?" Leah, let's let you start on that one.

Leah 1:52

So I'll start by saying that we have classical Tantra, which tends to be more spiritual in nature. It's... They don't tend to emphasize the sexual practices that are known in neo-Tantra, which is kind of like the new Tantra. And what I was taught is that Tantra reincarnates from age to age, depending on what the culture needs. So having been someone who's immersed herself in more of the neo-Tantra practices, so much of the emphasis in the things that I've learned have really centered around sexual healing, and I think that that's not a mistake if we're looking at it from the lens of it reincarnating from age to age, depending on the culture. Because when you see our statistics for sexual trauma in our world, we're looking at one in three women and one in four men. So we're really being impacted with this deep desire for sexual healing. Also, most of our listeners have been, either in or been parented by a lot of baby boomers who went through the sexual revolution. And I would say our generation, Gen Xers and Millennials, are been really experiencing the sexual evolution. And so we've got healing that needed to happen as a result of the sexual revolution, and that's kind of what I feel like culture's doing now, in regards to all these somatic therapies that are all of these embodiment therapies that are helping people unwind. So that's my first answer, and I'm sure we'll riff a little bit back and forth.

Willow 3:31

Yeah. I mean, what I would add is the word itself, tantra not to be pronounced tantra, my friends. Tan is a color. Tan is the Sanskrit word that means expansion. And tra is a tool. So tantra is a tool for expansion

What Does Tantra Mean?

Willow 3:52

or a tool for weaving more consciousness into your life. So what tantra does spiritually is it brings you into a state of union with yourself, with God, with nature, with another person. And that union gives you a mirror to look into. And when you look into that mirror, you see parts of yourself. And some of these parts you see you don't like, and some of them you do like. And the ones that you don't like, you hopefully get to work on. And then you evolve spiritually. So that is what tantra can bring. When you're living a tantric life and you're in an attuned state of union with almost everything you're doing, that means you're in this state of possibility. You're in a state of, um, expans- expanded awareness. You know, you're not stuck in the ego mind of, "I don't have. I need to get. I need to figure this out." All the stressful kind of like contractive thoughts that so many people swim in. So walking a tantric path is a spiritual path. When you bring tantra into union with another person, and that includes sexual play, then what you're doing is you're expanding the possibilities of what sex is, which is why we named our podcast Sex Reimagined. Because so many of us learn that like, you know, in and out, penetrative sex, that's what sex is. Oral sex, that's what sex is. And I think so many people are not having that much fun with the sex that they've learned. And so tantra opens up a lot more possibility, a lot more curiosity, a lot more exploration for pleasure and sensation. And there's a real healing element that comes with tantric sex because what you're healing ultimately is old constructs, old limiting beliefs that society has placed on you for a long time, many generations, as Leah was speaking to earlier. And, I think that they go really hand in hand. Whether you're doing tantra as a spiritual practice or tantra as a sexual practice, they pretty much can be one and the same.

Leah 6:11

Yeah. I, you know, a lot of people will say that the sexual part of Tantra is just one part of the pie that makes the whole. And, so, you know, y- you wanna find Tantra teachers that really are a match for where you are right now in your life. You can practice Tantra and be celibate, and that is a beautiful, worthy, and awesome path. And you can practice Tantra and be wildly polyamorous, and that is also a wonderful and valid path. They're doing the same thing. They're cultivating sexual energy, and they're applying it to different parts of one's life. You're taking sexual energy and, like the Taoists, you might be moving it up into the organs, the skin, or the glands in order to increase your longevity and your vitality and, and heal the body from what ails you. You're also gonna take that same sexual energy and, you know, become prayerful with it. Learn to draw it up and transmute it if you're not using it to share with a partner or to experience your own orgasmic pleasure. You may be taking that orgasmic energy and fueling it towards your spiritual goals. And then other people are gonna take that sexual energy, and they're gonna cultivate it so that they can feel tremendous amounts and waves after waves after waves of orgasmic bliss and sensation. One thing I think, though, you should be mindful of is if you're looking at neo-Tantra, I would be making sure that whatever school or individuals you go to learn from, that they're bringing two types of Tantra to the table. One is white Tantra. The other one is red Tantra. White Tantra is your solo practice.

White vs Red Tantra

Leah 7:50

It's your yoga. It's your pranayama. It's breathing and meditating and cultivating presence and awareness and having intimacy with yourself. It's the thing you practice. So it's like practicing your instrument so that you're good enough to make music with the band. And then red Tantra is the practice that you share with someone else. That's gonna be the sexual practices, where you're gonna go and treat sexuality and rituals as if it is a meditation in and of itself. It is seen as like a prayer between bodies, this sexual sacred lovemaking. And it's not the only thing you can have in the bedroom. You can have a full range of sexual exploration beyond Tantra. you don't have to be some sort of Tantra purist. Uh, you can In fact,

Willow 8:44

still have quickies. Don't worry.

Leah 8:46

have, you can have all

Willow 8:47

You can still fuck like rabbits. It's

Leah 8:50

you can have all the gourmet sex you want, you can have all the kinky sex you want. That's, again, bringing it back to Sex Reimagined, I know for me and my desire for this podcast is 'cause, you know, I've been having s- I've had s- been so impacted by Tantra, but I also wanted to richen my experience in sexuality by learning all sorts of different, um, areas and corners to play in. So yeah.

Willow 9:17

Which we have done over the course of this podcast. I'm very proud of us. We have explored many, many things and done many, many things we had never done before when we started this podcast. So it's a fun journey. Sexuality is like, if you think about it like your playground, you know? It's like the place where adults get to go and party and have fun and play and get curious and heal and let go of old constructs, as we have mentioned many times. Okay, let's dive into the next question. So this was a really good one 'cause I think this is super common. And, it says, "My boyfriend finishes really fast, and it's become a source of shame for him and a source of frustration for me. Someone told us that Tantra could help him learn to last longer. Is that

Lasting Longer

Willow 10:03

actually true? And where would he even start?"

Leah 10:07

Oh my God, that. This has probably been the most rewarding part of my private practice working with men, is helping them overcome, premature ejaculation and giving them the empowering experience of ejaculatory choice, where they don't feel like they're a victim to their body. They feel like they can be in control of their body. And I think from what all the medical people that we've interviewed, over the years, I, I still believe Tantra is the number one place to go to learn ejaculatory control. There's not a lot that doctors have been able to figure out yet. I mean, some- they- they'll go as far as to prescribe SSRIs, antidepressants, so that you numb out your feeling and/or these numbing sprays that just don't work.

Willow 10:58

Yeah. I mean, it's really better to learn how to breathe and sound because those are the main two dials that are gonna give you a sense of control. A lot of times you'll hear the word ejaculatory control out there in the world, but we like to use the word ejaculatory choice because it's, it's not really fun to control things. We do enough controlling of shit in our lives. And so when we're at choice, that means we can dial ourselves a little bit higher on the arousal scale with a simple breath or a simple sound, or we can dial ourselves back down if we want to prolong our orgasmic bliss and pleasure that we're in the middle of. So we actually have a course called Last 10 Times Longer. That would be a great place for your boyfriend to start, and it would be great for you to watch it with him because then you can support your partner. One of the things that's really helpful is for, partners of people who are having premature or early ejaculation, is for them to know how to support and how to gauge and how to attune to when they're getting too close and how to dial them back down so both of you can learn how to play with their ejaculatory choice. And then when both of you are on track and doing that together, he can really learn how to prolong his orgasmic pleasure, ride those higher levels of, arousal on the arousal scale. You've probably heard us talk about the arousal scale, but if you haven't, you know, one is like, "Mm, I'm relaxed. I'm a little slightly turned on." And 10 is like, "Oh my God, I'm gonna come right now." So many, many, many men are going from like a six or a seven to a 10. So they're really kinda missing those upper ranges. And so what we do a lot in teaching them how to have ejaculatory choice is how to stretch out all of the numbers on the arousal scale and how to hang out, you know, longer in those higher levels of arousal because those are the places where your, your consciousness starts to expand. That's where spiritual downloads can come through. That's where you start to see yourself as more capable. You start to step into a new level of confidence and, those are the, um, sort of tantric practices that will change the rest of your life as well

Leah 13:26

The other thing that I really love that is, works so well is understanding that there are different pressure points in the body that you can press to help regain control when you're in the heat of the moment. And then there's also, like, tapping. You can tap your heart, you can scratch your head, you can open your eyes, you can slow down your breathing. There's all these methods that are gonna help you delay ejaculation and d- have you kinda come back from the edge of the waterfall. The key, the most important key, is that you don't wait until the feeling, "I could come soon," to do one of these techniques. You want to do a technique a little bit before you absolutely need it. A lot of men are riding too close to the edge, and then they're unsuccessful, even when they use a technique. And so in Last 10 Times Longer, we go through an entire sequence so that you can find which technique works the best for your body, how to figure out your early warning system so that you get the signal right every time. And then how to play your pleasure like a musical ins- instrument, sort of like Tantric edging, if you will, where you get close to the waterfall, but then you cool down, closer to the waterfall and cool down. And what a lot of men start to experience quite quickly is that they can separate ejaculating from orgasm, so that they can have non-ejaculatory orgasms. And those are like freebies, so they don't cost you any energy. They don't wipe you out. So you really learn how to surf the s- the Shakti waves, as we like to, to call it, so that you can ride a wave of pleasure, and then you cut out of the wave before you get wiped out. So to find more information on Last 10 Times Longer, I believe there's a coupon code to get a discount on that course in the show notes on the website, but you can buy the course at sexreimagined.com/courses. Just look for Last 10 Times Longer. Thanks for the question. That's always a good one

Willow 15:27

Yeah, definitely. So many people could benefit from learning those, Tantric tricks and tools. Okay, next question. "I've heard you both mention Tantric orgasms on the show, and I honestly don't fully understand what that means. I know what a regular orgasm feels like. What makes a Tantric orgasm different, and is it something that anyone can

Tantric Orgasm Explained

Willow 15:52

actually experience?"

Leah 15:55

Start us off with th- this one, Willow

Willow 15:57

You want me to kick it off?

Leah 15:59

Yeah

Willow 15:59

So tantric orgasms are just so much more fun than regular orgasms. I almost only have tantric orgasms at this point. But basically, what we learn about regular orgasms Sometimes I have a quickie, and that's nice, too. But those tend to feel like really pooled in the genitals. They tend to feel They can be really fast. They can happen so quickly it feels like a sneeze. You know, they can just, like, pass you right by. Sometimes they can be really big and explosive, regular orgasms. but they are really, really felt in the clit or in the dick. Like, really, really felt in the genital area. Whereas when you play with tantric orgasms, you're actually spreading all of that sensation and arousal chi that is down in the genitals. You're spreading it up to different places in the body. You're spreading it up to the heart. You're spreading it up to the throat. You're spreading it up to the third eye, out to the fingers, out to the tips of the toes, and you're starting to experience your whole body as that clitoral head or as your cock. You know, your whole body gets this whole big reverberation. In the Taoist system, we, we actually draw orgasmic energy to specific glands in the body, specific organs in the body, and we call those superior orgasms because when you have an orgasm in your heart or you have an orgasm in your pineal gland, it's extremely expansive. And a lot of times it can bring forth emotions. It can bring forth this crazy laughter. It's just It can bring forth these, like, emotive releases. And sometimes it will bring forth like a shaking or a shuddering or a sh- a, you know, a movement through the body, like an uncontrolled movement. And I always feel like whenever that happens, it's, it's a release of some kind of trauma that doesn't necessarily need a story attached to it, or it's a release of some kind of limitation, some kind of limiting belief that has been, you know, stuck in your soma, in your cellular body, for quite a long time. So tantric orgasms are absolutely available to anyone who's walking around with a breath in their body

Leah 18:29

Yes. Full body orgasms are totally possible, and everyone can train their body on how to have one. The key, like Willow, uh, said, I will echo her, is slowing down, breathing, and sounding. The key is to imagine, to use your imagination to visualize that you can breathe your pleasure beyond your genitals. You can breathe sensation and that, "Oh my God, that is so sexy, that is so yummy." And then start, like, like a short distance. Start by just kinda drawing it up to your belly button. See if you can make your lower belly feel, like, warm and, filled with tingles, and then breathe it up like you could feel it in your breasts or your pecs, and imagine that you can feel more sensation from your genitals up to your nipples. And it can help to actually touch these zones as you're working with breathing up your body. I love to stroke a cock with one hand and then stroke a finger with my other hand the same way I'm stroking a cock, with the same rhythm, the same tempo, and the same stroke, to help my partner go, "Yeah, my finger is feeling so fucking sexy right now, because I can feel my cock at the same time." it's like then breathing it up into your throat and into your neck. Can you feel the pleasure that is in your clitoris at the back of your throat? Can you feel the pleasure that's in the tip of your cock into the palms and webs of your fingers? Can you now breathe it up into your third eye? Can you breathe it to the follicles of your hair? Can you take it down to your toes? And you just do this p- process by really getting present, paying attention to sensation, and using your breath and the de- and the sound of what the sensation is and carrying it. There's something about sounding that adds a vibration to your whole body. So if you try to do this by holding your breath, or if you try to do this and not utter a groan or a moan, it's... You're never gonna get there. you've got to be willing to have more breath control, slow everything down, make those inhales and exhales as long as you possibly can, and then, "Oh, and mm, and oh, yes, and mm." You know, like, make some groaning, moaning sounds. It's only gonna turn your partner on more. It's gonna turn you on more, and there's just no shake around it. Sounding is how you increase the intensity of whatever sexy feeling is happening. And if f- you know, it's just, if you want better orgasms than everyone you know, breathe and sound, baby, and, and it'll carry. It'll carry throughout your whole body, and it'll feel like such a full body buzz

Willow 21:07

That's right. Now, Leah mentioned white tantra earlier, and I think this is a good place. I have so many clients come through who just are too embarrassed to sound or just for whatever reason, they won't make sound. I'm not sure. I'm like, "That's not a sound. That's a whisper. I can't hear you," you know? And so I

Sounding For Pleasure

Willow 21:31

just am always trying to open up the throa- the throat chakra for people. And what's fascinating is this whole throat, uh, this whole girdle of, like, your jaw structure, your throat, your tongue, and this whole pathway right here is a mirror image of your pelvic bowl, no matter what your gender is. And so there's something really, really powerful that happens when you open this, not to mention the vagus nerve is running right through here. So, ah, making some sound and some vibration is gonna translate down into those nerve pathways that hits the genitals. And so back to white tantra. You know, if you're somebody who's like, "Oh, I'm just way too embarrassed. I don't wanna sound like a porno. I don't wanna... I don't know, wanna sound like a dork. I don't wanna sound like a dying cat. Like, I don't w- I don't know what I wanna sound like, and I'm too embarrassed," go and do it on your own. Go pad the walls of your bedroom and get your vibrator out or get your lotion out and just start to play with yourself and start to play with opening your voice and opening sound because, as Leah said, you just, you gotta do it. So if it's

Leah 22:41

It makes sense

Willow 22:41

to you, try on your own.

Leah 22:44

Yeah. It's got pitch and frequency. And so it's how your body connects to what you're sensing.

Willow 22:50

All right, so let's dive into the next question. this one is about breathwork and meditation. So this person wrote in saying that they've started with some breathwork and a little bit of meditation after listening to our show. And I'm curious about going deeper into Tantra, but I'm an impatient person. How long before I actually start feeling something different in my body or my relationships? Well, my friend, I can absolutely relate to you. With Aries moon and rising, I too am, am an impatient person, and I always wanna know, when is it gonna happen? When are we gonna get there? How long is this gonna take? Can we get to the finish line, please? And I think that's one of the biggest things, that Tantra has taught me is how to let go of outcome, how to let go of agenda, how to let go of a finish line being there at all. So, that might be the first thing to kind of practice is finding the place inside of you that is impatient and getting a little bit more curious about why that's there. Is that actually yours? Was that taught to you by a parent? is that something that you can learn to overcome? 'Cause I think patience is actually one of the greatest virtues of a Tantric life

Leah 24:17

I think breathwork you can see immediate results, and that is because it helps you regulate your nervous system, helps you drop cortisol

The Role of Breathwork & Meditation

Leah 24:28

levels by shifting the adrenaline that's coursing through your system when you feel aroused. And I'm not just talking about sexual arousal. I'm talking about triggers. I'm talking about obstacles. I'm talking about anxiety. And one of the things that really kills great sex is anxiety. We come to it feeling, you know, anxious, whether that's performance, um, whether maybe we're dating someone new and we won- we're afraid we won't be impressive, a lack of confidence, self-esteem issues, body image issues. Maybe you and your partner have had a real dry spell and, like, getting started again feels really uncomfortable. And even if you're having regular sex, sometimes it's hard to get out of your head, and you're so busy worrying that you can't drop in. So when you know some really simple breathwork skills, it's gonna be the thing that can help you regulate. And when you do it with a partner, then you can co-regulate each other, which is even better. It will help bond you, it'll help foster trust, it'll create a sense of intimacy and a willingness for more vulnerability, which just always makes sex better. So I always suggest that people start, a breathwork practice where they just keep it really, really simple. Slow inhales, as slow as you can go. Each breath, you want your inhale to get slower and slower and slower, which is made possible because your cortisol levels are gonna drop and drop and drop. Then when you exhale, you are also stretching the exhale out as long as possible. And this particular practice is done all through nasal breathing. You're inhaling through the nose and you're exhaling through the nose. Once you feel like you've got a really nice rhythm and you're starting to, like, your shoulders are starting to relax, you're letting yourself feel more grounded, then you can increase your skill level by holding your breath at the top of the inhale. Three or five seconds is plenty. And then at the bottom of the exhale, hold the breath out for three to five seconds. What that's gonna do is it's gonna teach you more breath control, which will come in handy in more advanced practices. Other, meditations and breathing practices that have, are very efficacious and have research around them is box breathing. Uh, you can type into chat, "Teach me box breathing," and it'll get you started. It's another very, very simple breathwork practice. And, you know, there's breathwork that has you breathing through the nose and out through the mouth. So you can really explore a lot of different techniques. I encourage you to go to breathwork classes. In fact, Stevie, Was it Stevie Wright? Yeah, we did an episode with her, episode 17-

Willow 27:21

a great membership. Yeah. She's got a breathwork membership online. It's really great. She's an awesome breathwork teacher. You

Leah 27:28

Yeah.

Willow 27:29

out. Not to mention if you live in a, like, you know, in a town where there's any yoga studios, they probably have breathwork, workshops at that yoga studio, and it's great to build community. I'm always encouraging my clients to go to breathwork because so many of us are walking around living in our prefrontal cortex all the time trying to figure out this life path, and it's really helpful to get into your body and out of your head. So breathwork is one of the quickest paths to that, as well as chanting is another really quick path, or just singing. You know? If you're someone who likes to sing or even doesn't like to sing or hum, humming, all of that gets you into your body more. and that is what's going to give you a more Tantric experience within sexuality. So meditation, you know, meditation is lovely when you can get out of your head. But when you're stuck in your head, it's very frustrating to sit down and try to meditate. So, any time that I go for meditation and want to clear and empty my mind, I always do breathwork or chanting or, like, some kind of vigorous exercise like running or jumping or something before I sit down. Because moving the energy through your body actually gives you the opportunity to quiet and still the mind because then you can actually drop into more sensation. You can be like, "Oh, wow, I feel buzzing. I feel a tingling. I feel some energy circulation in my toes that I don't usually feel." And you're paying more attention. You're attuning to the sensations in your body, which is where Tantra lives, attuning to sensations in your body and, and letting go of the chitter chatter and the monkey mind of the mind.

Leah 29:19

Yes. That's one of Tantra's biggest gifts in the bedroom is harnessing your mind and getting it to get present. And breathing and learning how to relax and connecting deeply with yourself and a partner, getting yourself grounded and centered is a gift that will affect every sector of your life in a really holistic, and powerful way. So you know, uh, because it's all over the great wide web that meditation is so, important for our wellbeing. There's been so many studies on it. So this is just one way to bring in the power of meditation into your sex life. And that's why Tantra's so popular because it, in and of itself, is what has transformed so many people's experience of pleasure and intimacy and healing. So give it a whirly whirl. We actually have a breathwork masterclass that talks all about this and gives you a lot of great breathwork, instructions and practices. It's called Breathwork for Better Orgasms. Again, you can find it at sexreimagined.com/courses. and I think it's, like, $55. It's a pretty affordable, masterclass. Go, go choke it out. Go check it out. Can I get words out of this mouth today? Geez, oh, Pete. It's hard to be a radio personality when your mouth is filled with marbles. So with that, we will put me out of my misery and we hope that it puts you into a fabulous morning, day, or evening, wherever and however you're listening to Sex Reimagined
