Tantric Sex Therapist – Find the Power of Breath, Sound, and Movement
Tantric Sex Therapist – Find the Power of Breath, Sound, and Movement
Tantric sex therapy can be a life-changing form of counseling that can alter the course of your intimacy and loving relationships.
People involved in tantra are deeply curious about the exploration of sex, taking it from something that at times can seem simple, transforming it into a deeper, more meaningful experience.
For a lot of people, sex is an activity about the release. People treat it like it’s a primal urge that serves to reduce tension and experience a fleeting moment of pleasure.
It becomes routine, a “weekend-only” appointment between couples. With the stress of daily life hovering over us constantly, pressure enters the bedroom, and sex suffers.
Tantric sex therapy can help you become more in tune with your mind and body, allowing you to connect physically and emotionally during sex. It elevates the sexual connection you have with yourself and your partner.
Meeting with a Tantric Sex Therapist
First of all, here’s what you need to know about tantric sex therapists. They’ve dedicated at least hundreds of hours to learning their practice and working under the supervision of licensed therapists and trainers.
To become certified, they have to meet stringent requirements laid out by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).
This involved earning an advanced clinical degree and extensive clinical experience.
When you first meet with a tantric sex therapist, there will be a feeling-out process.
They’ll want to know your motivations for undertaking tantra sex therapy and try to understand where you are currently emotionally and as a lover.
Remember, sex therapy is a process of exploration meant to help you become a better lover and ultimately experience sex and life in a more positive way.
Additionally, seeing a sex therapist isn’t just about learning how to give a better blow job or engage in lengthier foreplay.
Licensed clinicians can help you if you’re dealing with issues like premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and other challenges. It’s a process designed for sexual healing and sexual pleasure.
Somatic Sexology in Therapy Sessions
Some AASECT-Certified Sex Therapists have other practitioners who weave somatic experiencing and tantra in their practice with clients.
Somatic sexology is a more embodied form of sex therapy that is designed to improve the connection between mind and body pertaining to sex and intimacy.
Many people, for a number of reasons including religious backgrounds, cultural norms, trauma, and other personal history have trouble connecting pleasure with bodily sensations.
They are disconnected from their own bodies, and as a result, can recoil or resist sexual pleasure.
It’s hard for them to relax during sex, which prevents them from connecting with themselves or their partners.
This can lead to complications trying to achieve orgasm and frustrations in intimate relationships.
A tantric sex therapist focuses on the power of breath, sound, and movement to help you or a loved one overcome difficulties relaxing and engaging sexually.
Breath
Breath is an often-overlooked factor in sexual health. Many people, over the course of a sexual encounter, will hold their breath or breathe too rapidly. 
When this happens, the body can interpret the stress as dangerous, and begin to tense up. Improper breathing makes orgasming harder and will disrupt the flow of sexual connection.
A tantric sex therapist can help you understand how your breathing is affecting your sexual life. They can give you breathing techniques that will help you relax and gain greater control over your body.
Better breath control improves blood flow and oxygenation that results in a more relaxed, stimulating sexual experience.
Sound
Sound therapy is another way a tantric sex therapist can help you destress and engage more consciously.
Therapists use calming music, white noise, and other sounds to help you relax and center your mind and body.
Think about the sounds you hear during sex and what kind of response they trigger. If you’re a parent, the sound of crying or bullying can destroy any sexual desire.
Likewise, if the TV is on, radio, or other kinds of music and noise that detract from the experience.
Therapists help use sound to improve your sexual mood. They can also help you understand how different words or speech can elicit positive or negative sexual responses.
That’s great news for partners who struggle with what to say to turn you on.
Movement
The final component of Tantra is using movement and sexual positions to enhance or highlight pleasure and arousal. It helps you become more comfortable with intimate touch.
The techniques will improve nonverbal communication between you and your partner and help you achieve sexual breakthroughs.
Learning new positions and how to move can also help you orgasm more easily. They can even be longer-lasting and more intense.
People who practice tantric sex frequently experience full-body orgasms and multiple orgasms.
Tantric Sex for Mind-Body Alignment
Tantric sex therapy helps increase the mind-body connection in those who are open to sexual exploration. Good therapists know that everyone starts their sexual journey from different points.
People who experience roadblocks to feeling comfortable with physical touch will need different suggestions than those looking for better orgasms.
Tantric sex therapists will work with you to have better, more meaningful sex wherever you are.
Don’t get stuck in a sexual rut!
Learning about and practicing simple tantric sex exercises are fun and a great way to grow a sexual connection between you and your partner.
What’s even more fun is that the more you practice, the better you become. As you master the breathing, sound, and movement techniques, your sexual experiences will be more fulfilling. When the sex is great, it can be hard to complain about anything else.
