Tantric sex is a prolonged experience of energies transferring and building during love making. The best positions for Tantric sex are those that encourage slow thrusting and limited penetration. The goal in Tantric sex is to draw out the sexual experience in an effort to explore the feelings associated with intimacy and the feelings of energy innate to sexual activity.

Bad Positions for Tantric Sex

The most common sexual positions in Western standards are bad for Tantric sex. Missionary style positions allow for deep penetration and encourage thrusting. It can also be challenging for a man to hold himself up for the length of a Tantric sexual experience. If he were to lie on the woman, she would be uncomfortable during the experience.

Sexual positions where the man is behind the woman, or “doggy style” are a poor choice for Tantric sex as well. Again, deep penetration is achieved and the desire to thrust is strongly accentuated by the lovely view of his partner’s bottom. The best positions for Tantric sex put partners more in contact and ideally face to face.

Best Positions for Tantric Sex

The best positions for Tantric sex are those that encourage the transfer of energy and intimacy between partners. Limited but stimulating penetration is required to keep the male’s erection hard during the long process of Tantric sex, while allowing for a greater connection between partners.

Woman on top positions are ideal for Tantric sex. She is able to rest on her partner without causing either person great discomfort, and she can control the thrust and depth of contact. Partners are usually facing each other which increases the intimacy of the act. Tantric sex is about the build up of sexual energy –not its release. Control is a major part of enjoying Tantric sex.

Side by side positions are easily the best Tantric sex positions for intimacy. Resting side by side allows for greater body contact between partners increasing the opportunities for energy transfers. Laying down together face to face while penetrating also allows for partners to kiss during Tantric sex. This completes a channel of energy between the partners. He gives the woman his energy through penetration, and she returns it to him through kissing.

Side by side positions also offer only limited penetration making it easier to prolong the experience and pleasure. In a side by side position, the male can penetrate only a few inches allowing for contact with the G-spot, the woman’s center of sexuality, while avoiding excitement-inducing deep penetration.

The more contact between partners over an extended period of time allows for a greater build up of energy. It is this energy flowing in each partner and between them that is the fundamental basis of Tantric sex. The longer you spend creating energy through Tantric massage and early arousal techniques, the more enjoyable the experience will be and the more intense any climaxes will be as well.
