Tantric Or Frantic?

Which brings us to tantric sex. For the benefit of those who haven't heard about tantric sex, it is a new-age (which means it is very old) sexual technique which enables you to keep going for hours and hours.

Now, your first thought on this matter is going to be one of keen interest. We all like sex. And when like something we want more of it. But do we really want sex to drag on for four or five hours at a time?

Let's face it, if you're having a good meal (say a right tasty chicken jalfrezi) you really enjoy it and you'll eat as much of it as you can and you'll sit back and let out a mighty belch of total satisfaction and think to yourself, that was great! You won't procede to spend the next four or five hours ramming more of the stuff down your throat in the expectation that because you enjoyed eating the meal in the first place you're going to go on enjoying the meal.

No. You're full. And that's all there is to it.

Similarly with sex. Once you've done a few strokes you're happy enough to discharge the old baby gravy, wipe your nob on the curtain and go and have a nice cup of tea. What's the point in going on for four or five hours? You're only going to get bored. You're going to be thinking about all the things you could be doing instead, like clearing out the shed, re-organising your box of grub screws, or putting a drop of oil on the squeaky bed springs.

So given a choice between half a day's tantric sex or a quick sesh of frantic gorilla sex and a few other jobs done about the house, it's not too difficult to decide what we'd really like to do, is it?
