Slow Sex

Produktbeschreibung

SEXUALITY / HEALTH "Like everything else in this fast-forward world, our sex lives have been infected by the virus of hurry. Slow Sex is the perfect antidote." --Carl Honore, author of In Praise of Slowness "How rare it is for a book to appear about sex and sensuality with a truly fresh and innovative approach. Diana Richardson has crafted a masterpiece . . ." --Marc David, author of The Slow Down Diet and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating While fast, hot, orgasm-driven sex can bring momentary satisfaction, in the long run it can become boring and mechanical, causing many couples to lose interest and stop making time for physical intimacy. The first step to revive a waning sex life or make a healthy one more fulfilling, says author Diana Richardson, is to make sex a conscious decision rather than an accidental encounter. Focusing on eye contact, subtle sensations, and deep breathing, Diana's practice of slow sex awakens the body's innate mechanism for ecstasy, unlocking the door to extraordinary realms of sensitivity, sensuality, and higher consciousness. Exploring the healing, spiritual power of slow sex, this book offers a step-by-step guide for committed couples to transform sex into a meditative, loving union of complementary energies. It explains how slow sex increases sensitivity and sexual vitality and how, because it creates and restores love, slow sex is loving sex. With a focus on coolness rather than heat, this practice provides couples a way to reach a shared meditative state and use it as a vehicle to achieve higher consciousness. Illustrating different positions for eye contact, deep sustained penetration, and soft penetration, this book reveals that sex truly can be sustainable and enjoyable well into old age. DIANA RICHARDSON is the author of Tantric Orgasm for Women and The Heart of Tantric Sex and the coauthor of Tantric Sex for Men. A disciple of tantric master Osho, she is a teacher and practitioner of holistic body therapies. Along with her partner, Michael, she has been teaching weeklong "Making Love" retreats for couples since 1993. She lives in Switzerland.
