Purchase options and add-ons

In Tantric Sex for Busy Couples, Diana Daffner offers readers a modern approach to intimacy based on ancient techniques. Combining age-old tantric teachings, the peaceful exercise program of t’ai chi, and meditation, the book shows couples how to energize their relationship. The basic exercises include “Solo Stillness,” which helps readers embrace the inner self; “Connected Pose,” a way for couples to simply be together; and the “Tantra T'ai Chi Trilogy,” a tri-partite system for moving sexual energy throughout the body. The author's foundational tantra t'ai chi exercises help readers prepare for the sexual practices described in the book, with things like yin and yang ceremonies of sexual massage for both partners and “Peaceful Passion” — a sexual union that requires neither a high sex drive nor a Viagra-inspired erection. Throughout these practices, readers are encouraged to maintain a sacred, respectful, loving, and ceremonial attitude toward their partner and, in the process, transform a relationship into a love affair.

The book teaches the basics of tantric sex. The authors are very clear as to how each type of foreplay is to be done. My lover and I learned and now use certain techniques from this book and it truly has enhanced our love making experience. Thank you.

In this wonderfully useable and delightfully candid guide, Diana Daffner draws on ancient wisdom and movement practices to create a fun, fresh and meaningful approach to modern sexuality and relationships.

The simple yet powerful exercises she describes -- involving eye contact, touch, energy awareness and focused movement -- are easy to incorporate into even the busiest day. Although the emphasis is on intimacy rather than orgasm, the practices are designe to provide plenty of both. Whether you are male or female, young or old, gay or straight, they
- deepen connection
- create intimate and sacred space between partners
- awaken sexual energy and direct it toward maximum pleasure and meaning
Real-world, down-to-earth and illuminated throughout by her and her husband's personal experiences, Daffner's innovative Tantra Tai Chi requires no previous experience of Indian Tantra or Chinese Tai Chi. All you need are minutes a day and a desire to share the gift of passion.

What Stephanie Thought: I've heard so much about Tantric sex and have only known it as some sort of deep, mystical practice whose effects can be even stronger than that of an orgasm. Better than an orgasm? Sign me up!

Tantric Sex for Busy Couples is a compact, informative book that elaborates upon the practice of Tantra and Tai Chi for beginners and people like me who don't want to invest frustrating hours into it. Its simple illustrations and instructional advice really helps with achieving the mental and sexual connection of this ancient practice.

I especially love how Daffner uses her personal events to explain the specific exercises in this manual. It makes it less routine and more individualized. I tried the majority of the activities featured in this book with my boyfriend, and though none of them were mind-blowing, it was a very relaxing and sensually soothing experience.

This books is for anyone who wants to change their sex life around a little -- not necessarily spice it up, but more like slow it down, to attain the comfortable, sated feeling we all crave, after the best of climaxes.

Radical Rating: 7 hearts- A few flaws here and there, but wouldn't mind rereading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about relating and intimacy, even for busy singles!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023
I first read this book as single woman and learning more about what I wanted from a potential sex life was life-changing. But don't be fooled by the cover. Yes, it's about sex, but it's not just tips for the bedroom!

The book is full of information that will help anyone -- gay or straight, solo or in a couple -- learn intimacy skills for a deeper, more fulfilling life. The end goal of tantra is not just sex but seeing all ordinary experiences as sacred and to arrive at a relationship from a place of self-love and self-respect.

The practices, informed by tai chi and yoga, are tastefully illustrated. The mirror and stillness practices are especially helpful even for single people who are afraid to really "see" themselves or simply "be" with themselves. This lays the groundwork for better relationships with others.

I have often called this book my "pre-relationship homework," and its solo practices still serve me well for an occasional reset. Anyone interested in sexual intimacy, authentic relating and conscious living can read this book as a very practical primer.

I should have sent it back for a refund. This is the worst book I have ever read for couples. I tried to give it away several times and they look through it and say no thanks. It is not just me. If you are extremely bored and don't have a life or you are a virgin and know nothing then you might want to read it. It might be good if your partner is in a coma seriously. All the raving reviews must be from the author's family and friends. I have read other books on this same subject that by far better. Try Urban Tantra by: Barbara Carrellas.

This book is this woman's version of Tantra, but not really the traditional version. While it was fun to experiment with my wife while we read this book, there was nothing enlightening or amazing about it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tantra Explained
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2011
"Tantric Sex for Busy Couples" is a pretty good book for people who are already interested in having Tantric sex. The book is 212 pages long, and it is split into 5 different chapters. The wife of the couple does the majority of the writing in the book, but the husband pops in with random snippets once in awhile to represent the male viewpoint of Tantric sex. The book includes quite a few different diagrams and illustrations to illustrate different Tantra positions or different Tantric sex positions as well. This makes it really easy to figure out what you're doing when you go to actually attempt something.

There is a downside though. This book does get pretty far into the spiritual and emotional connection of Tantra which is one of the main points of having Tantric sex. However, a lot of the spiritual talk didn't interest me much, and I felt like, as someone who was curious but unsure about trying Tantric sex, I was more alienated than included by all of the discussion of spirituality in the book. However, if you know that the spiritual aspect is what you're looking for, then it won't bother you one bit.

Either way, if you want a guide on Tantric sex, the authors have definitely done their homework, and it provides a lot of pointers and tips to make it possible to have Tantric sex without feeling lost or confsed. There's a lot of information in here about chakra, connection, Yin and Yang manual stimulation, Tantric sex positions, Tantric pre-sex positions, and small Tantric games to play that take ten minutes or less yet bring the two of you closer together. If you know you're interested, it's definitely worth reading.
