Basic Sexual Adventuring

Whether you're in a sexually exclusive relationship or a more open one, treating your shared sexual activities as a joint adventure can help keep things fresh. The erotic intensity of any relationship is likely to diminish with time. One of the most effective ways to stay passionate is to jointly explore your sexuality consciously, to start pushing your boundaries a little.

We define sexual adventuring as a shared undertaking with a clear set of purposesgenerally, to build sexual self-awareness, find new sources of pleasure, and deepen intimacy. In this workshop, we'll examine the hows and whys of basic sexual adventuring, look at some ways for beginners to explore and provide you with insights on how to choose and plan your own adventures.

Mark A. Michaels (Swami Umeshanand Saraswati) and Patricia Johnson (Devi Veenanand), a devoted married couple, have been teaching Tantra together since 1999. Their approach combines traditional lineage-based Tantra with the best contemporary methods so that students can bring heightened awareness and an expanded capacity for pleasure into all aspects of everyday life. Michaels and Johnson are the authors of The Essence of Tantric Sexuality (Llewellyn, 2006), which won the USA Book News National Best Books 2007 Award in Health: Sexuality. Their second book, Tantra for Erotic Empowerment: The Key to Enriching Your Sexual Life (Llewellyn 2008) won the 2008 USA Book News Award, in Health/Sexuality. Their most recent book, Partners in Passion, was released on 2/14. "If you're in a relationship, you need this book. If you're single, you need this book. If you're having sex or ever plan to have sex good sex, hot sex, toe-curling sex you need this book. Clear off your night stand. This is the only volume you need." said, Jenny Block, author of Open.
