Summary: This book is great, if you can be open-minded
Review: I thought this book was great, but I'm not sure everyone would like it. I think you have to "open up your mind" in order to "accept" what it's telling you. Alot of what it says is not about specific techniques, per se, but more about changing the WAY you think about sex. I'd describe it as a very cerebral book. The only other comment I'd make is that it didn't seem to say anything about "Western" idealogies or techniques. I think this really focuses more on Eastern philosphy, which is OK with me....

Summary: Very good introduction to tantra
Review: This book is a very illuminating introduction to tantric techniques. Most of the books that I have seen have been much too metaphysical. This can be good for some readers but not for others. This one still communicates the spiritual half but more or less introduces the reader to having emotional sex and not physical sex. It also has a lot of variety. It has many different ideas and techniques to try. I have looked at many books on tantra and this is my favorite so far. Give it a try : )

Summary: Eastern techniques?
Review: This book loses major points by suggesting that it is okay for a man of 30 to ejaculate once every two days, and a man of 40 once every three days. As a comparison, Daniel Reid in his book The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity recommends a general regimen of 24 ejaculations per year, or about once every two weeks, varying the frequency depending on age and the time of year.Anyone who does qigong, taiji or similar work with their qi would understand that the ejaculatory frequencies suggested by this book are far too high. Three days is simply not enough for a man of 40 to replenish his energy levels and fully experience Eastern sexual techniques. The book simply does not want to tell men that they should reduce their frequency of ejaculation in order to build up qi levels - my guess is that they would not sell as many copies if they told Western men to reduce their ejaculation frequency. Besides, most men are already ejaculating as often as this book mentions, as according to Esquire a few years ago the average number of ejaculations by men was 2.7 per week (about once every 3 days). In my opinion this ruins an otherwise good book.

Summary: A Shock to the Mind
Review: True White Tantra is founded in perfect concordance with the teachings of Krishna, Buddha Shakyamuni, Padmasambhava and Jesus of Nazareth, all of whom expressly declared that desire leads souls to suffering, and only purified souls can enter the superior worlds and positively awakened consciousness. Although it contradicts the Western concept of sexuality, true White Tantra demands the absolute renunciation of the animal desire. True White Tantra leads the repentant soul along the path of absolute purification from all that is based in desire, craving, aversion, fear, anger, pride, envy, lust, etc. Obviously, the most potent and most advanced teachings of Pure White Tantrism are the teachings of Sexual Yoga, in which the practicioner must completely conquer their lust and rejuvenate the soul; this is accomplished by transmuting energy, by converting the base energies into refined energies, and this is possibly only by saving every atom of sexual energy, thus the practicioner of White Tantra must renounce the orgasm. The various teachings that recommend occasional orgasms are what is called "Grey Tantra," as they are diversionary teachings designed to seduce naive seekers into believing they can pursue spiritual work while still fulfilling their animal lust. True White Tantra always requires the complete removal of animal lust, and any practice that sustains lust or ignores it is a door to Black Tantra. Black Tantrism attracts innocent souls through their desires and leads them to profound suffering. For more information, read "The Perfect Matrimony," "The Mysteries of the Fire," and "The Mystery of the Golden Blossom" by Samael Aun Weor.
