There is a certain element of addiction to being a tantra practitioner. Don’t worry, it’s nothing you have to go cold turkey for at any time soon, but there are parallels to drug use in that you want to get your fix of tantra every so often or you start feeling bad otherwise. Let me explain. Once you had a bit of an encounter with tantra and some of the techniques have taken hold, have become a habit, you will start to expect things to happen in a way that adds to your daily life experience. You’ll be on the lookout for partners who are able to fulfil that particular need in ways that you find pleasing beyond the purely physical connection with that person. As an important side-effect you simply want to learn more about what makes you feel this great. It’s similar to the inertia you get when you push something heavy on a slick floor and it keeps floating along nicely once you have overcome that initial resistance. In tantra, that resistance usually takes the shape of false expectations, worries and misconceptions. Once those are out of the way, not only does progress come much more easily, but you also crave more of the stuff you have been given. This means you want to learn more as you move forward, and you want to meet others to try what you have learned for yourself. Having a partner in crime helps, of course, but never limit yourself: I have personally found that many of the lessons I have learned in tantra (about myself and the practice itself) have found their way into other parts of my life, particularly into my work environment. The surprising truth about tantra is this: it’s not just about sex! Quite the contrary, it is about you, the world you live in, and even what’s beyond that. once you are on a roll, keep it going!
