slowing down in the bedroom can bring us better sex, better

time has come to unleash your inner tortoise in the bedroom!”

with a truly fresh and innovative approach. Diana Richardson has

“. . . Slow Sex is making tantric concepts truly accessible to
people with no experience with (or inclination to study) eastern
philosophy and practices. By using simple language, with this
broader audience of readers is comfortable with, and by giving
readers permission to explore at their own pace, she opens the

SEXUALITY /
“Like everything else in this fast-forward world, our sex lives
have been infected by the virus of hurry. Slow Sex is the perfect
antidote.”
--Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slowness
“How rare it is for a book to appear about sex and ity

While fast, hot, orm-driven sex can bring momentary
satisfaction, in the long run it can become boring and
mechanical, causing many couples to lose interest and stop making
time for physical intimacy. The first step to revive a waning sex
life or make a y one more fulfilling, says author Diana
Richardson, is to make sex a conscious decision rather than an
accidental encounter. Focusing on eye contact, subtle sensations,
and deep breathing, Diana’s practice of slow sex awakens the
body’s innate mechanism for ecstasy, unlocking the door to
extraordinary realms of sensitivity, ity, and higher
consciousness.
Exploring the healing, spiritual power of slow sex, this book
offers a step-by-step guide for committed couples to transform
sex into a meditative, loving union of complementary energies. It
explains how slow sex increases sensitivity and sexual vitality
and how, because it creates and restores love, slow sex is loving
sex. With a focus on coolness rather than heat, this practice
provides couples a way to reach a shared meditative state and use
it as a vehicle to achieve higher consciousness. Illustrating
different positions for eye contact, deep sustained penetration,
and soft penetration, this book reveals that sex truly can be
sustainable and enjoyable well into old age.
DIANA RICHARDSON is the author of Tantric Orm for Women and
The Heart of Tantric Sex and the coauthor of Tantric Sex for Men.
A disciple of tantric master Osho, she is a teacher and
