Couples are going WILD for this kinky sex trend – have you tried it?

Nowadays Brits are far more adventurous under the duvets.

Whether they’re trying new sex positions or adding a sex toy into the mix, there’s always a way to boost your performance in bed.

Plenty of couples seek out ways to re-ignite the sparks in the bedroom and Tantric sex is a simple example.

Tantric sex is a slow form of intercourse which is said to increase intimacy and create a mind-body connection that can lead to powerful orgasms.

Speaking exclusively to an Ann Summers sexpert, here’s how the practice can play a part in your wellness – even if you’re single.

“Most importantly though, it’s not a race to an orgasm”

Helen Gibb, Head of Buying at the sex toy and lingerie specialist, wants to to strip away some of the myths surrounding the practice.

She told Daily Star Online: “People often think that Tantric sex means hours spent staring into each other’s eyes and a frustrating, seemingly endless wait for an orgasm.

“In reality it’s all about really focusing on the pleasure and connection to your senses, forgetting about distractions about being in the moment, just like mindfulness or meditation.

“Most importantly though, it’s not a race to an orgasm. So many of us rush to the finish line and the climax that awaits, however the journey there – not to mention the destination – can be so much more fun if we slow things down a bit.”

And when it comes to “taking your time”, Helen also shared her tips.

She added: “When you feel yourself getting close to an orgasm, or your partner signals they’re approaching climax, slow things down – change what you’re doing, take deep breaths and focus on the sensations in your whole body, then continue.

“After you’ve done this a few times and eventually reach a Tantric orgasm, you’ll thank us.”

Ann Summers recently published a comprehensive guide to Tantric Sex, including a sex position traditionally associated with it called the “Yab Yum”.

The guide also includes tips for those who want to take their Tantric experience even further, such as Tantric Masturbation and Tantric Bondage.

“All the principles of Tantric sex – mindfulness, connection, and the focus on pleasure rather than orgasm, are just as applicable to masturbation as they are to sex with a partner,” Helen explained.

She continued: “Again, try slowing this down as you feel yourself edging closer to climax. Keep the pleasure going for as long as you can stand it.

“Bondage has a reputation for being impersonal and lacking the intimacy of vanilla sex, when in reality a healthy BDSM relationship has complete trust at its core.

“It also involves the gradual build-up of sensations – and pain is a sensation after all, so if it’s something that appeals to you, it is possible to combine both Tantric and Bondage.”
