You will, no doubt, have heard at least a little talk of tantra, and tantric sex – but not everyone really knows what they mean. I’m not going to attempt to give a full answer here, of course, as the topic is far too nuanced and complicated to sum up in a simply blog post. What I will do, however, is recommend thoroughly that you read up on it – at least if you have any interest in enhancing and deepening your BDSM experience.

Everyone I know who has experimented with BDSM tantra has had a mind-blowing experience with it – myself included. The techniques and rituals of tantric sex and mediation bring an extra dimension to BDSM play. They make you more bodily aware, enhance your connection with your partner, allow you to explore your own body, and even noticeably improve your bodily sensations, reactions and climaxes.

Now, tantra is by no means a magic pill for better BDSM. It takes quite a bit of focus and attention, as well as a lot of learning, to make the techniques work for you – but the results make it worth every second of time spent reading and practicing. BDSM is already an intense experience, and tantra helps you fully tune in to the sensations you will feel while playing, and the experiences you’ll undergo. Why wouldn’t you take the time to explore BDSM tantra?
