New tantra-sex.com Website in Word Press Format
Our main website, tantra-sex.com, has a whole new look and a new, more user friendly structure. We’re proud of it and hope you like it too. If you do. . . .
. . . We Need Your Help Please
Our tantra-sex.com website took a serious traffic hit last February when Google changed how they determine which websites will show up at the top of search lists and which will drop to the bottom. That means when people search for tantra workshops, books or videos, they don’t find us anymore.
Google now gives more weight to sites that have a lot of people indicating they like the website, plus other factors such as connections with social network sites like Facebook and Twitter. We have not done as good a job drawing a following at the social network sites as Google wants. We didn’t even have the little icons that are sprouting up all over the Internet allowing people to click and say they like a website.
With our newly designed tantra-sex.com site, we now have those icons.
Below are the icons I am talking about. When you click on them at a website, it means you like that website.
At the top right corner of our tantra-sex.com homepage, you will find the 3 icons you see here. When you click on any of these three icons, you will be sharing that you like our website with your followers on Facebook, and Twitter. It’s not only a powerful way to let Google know you like our website it’s also one of the best ways you can help us build traffic.
![]()
Google +1 Icon
This is the Google +1 icon, and when you click on this one, it sends information directly to Google that you like our website. This is the most important icon for you to click on please, but only once, otherwise Google will think its spam and we could be penalized.
The icons above also appear on the inside pages of our websites, in a floating box on the left side of each page. It is really helpful when visitors like inside pages as well as the homepage.
More Icons
These icons appear at the bottom of our homepage.
This icon subscribes to our RSS feed so you will be notified when the page changes. Only click on that if you want to receive those notices.
This icon is for choosing to follow us on Twitter. In case you did not know already, with a Twitter account, anyone can post as often as they want, but each post is limited to 140 characters, including spaces.
Al does try to post every day on Twitter, most recently ideas from his forthcoming book, Enlightenment for Two (see excerpts below). Actually, it is kind of cool, forcing myself to use very few words to communicate a lot of good information, although I tend to be more serious, rather than funny. People with a great sense of humor are really popular on Twitter, gathering thousands of followers!
Clicking on this icon enables you to connect to us on Facebook.
This icon takes you to our YouTube channel where we have posted a rather large number of sex-instruction videos; featuring Al and Pala talking heads. How exciting! No nudity on You Tube, sorry. Actually we share some pretty cool and useful information with you on those videos. Check them out.
Clicking on this icon enables you to connect with us on LinkedIn, one of the most helpful social networks we have found. It is less about Pop Culture and more about making professional connections, e.g., making recommendations for people you have worked with professionally, meeting others in your line of expertise, finding new clients, etc.
But, please only click once, or it will be considered spam and that would actually hurt our Google standings.
Here are our four websites where we would appreciate your help in clicking on these devilish little “I like it” icons.

Shaman Says
from our book Sensual Love Secrets for Couples: The Four Freedoms of Body, Mind, Heart & Soul
The term shaman might have originated in Northern Siberia in a region in central Russia known as Tunguska, purported to be the location of a mystical kingdom referred to as Shamballa. A shaman (sometimes magician, sorcerer, witch doctor, or medicine man) has esoteric knowledge enabling him to utilize life force energies for healing and for controlling the forces of nature. When such a master works in alignment with the good, he or she is considered wise. Almost all cultures around the planet have an ancient history of shamanic myth and practice. In many parts of the world these practices remain current.
Time for Exercise: 5 to 15 minutes
Steps:
- Ask yourself: “How would I be, and what would I do in this particular situation if I were a wise shaman?”
- Relax your ordinary thought process and let images and ideas, intuition and insight come into your consciousness. Open yourself to guidance from your higher self, from the collective consciousness, and from super consciousness. Ideas might come to you that aren’t based on your previous experience or your regular thought process.
- Use this technique whenever you are stuck for a solution to a problem, for a way out of difficulty, for a source of creativity, or to trigger an “Aha!” epiphany.
Comments:
People can act themselves into new ways of thinking. If you can imagine something vividly enough, you can actually make it real. What if you could become wise by imagining that you already are?

Tonto
A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his.
Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, “Business trip or pleasure?”
She turned, smiled and said, “Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston.”
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, “What’s your business role at this convention?”
“Lecturer,” she responded. “I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.”
“Really?” he said. “And what kind of myths are there?”
“Well,” she explained, “one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.”
“Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best.”
“I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck.”
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. “I’m sorry,” she said, “I shouldn’t really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t even know your name.”
“Tonto,” the man said, “Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba.”

Deaf Sex
Two deaf people get married. During the first week of marriage, they find that they are unable to communicate in the bedroom with the lights out, since they can’t see each other signing, or lips to lip-read.
After several nights of fumbling around and many misunderstandings, the wife figures out a solution. “Honey, why don’t we agree on some simple signals? For instance, at night, if you want to have sex with me, reach over and squeeze my left breast one time. If you don’t want to have sex, reach over and squeeze my right breast two times.”
The husband thinks this is a great idea. He suggests to his wife if she wants to have sex with him, “reach over and pull on my penis one time. If you don’t want to have sex, pull on my penis two hundred and fifty times.”

No Bra
The teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with this see-through blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitches a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that!
The teenager tells her “Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rosebuds show!” and out she goes.
The next day the teenager comes downstairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate.
The grandmother says, “Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rosebuds, then I can display my hanging baskets.”
Quotes
“At no time are we ever in such complete possession of a journey, down to its last nook and cranny, as when we are busy with preparations for it. After that, there remains only the journey itself, which is nothing but the process through which we lose our ownership of it.”
Yukio Mishima
“Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you..”
Jim Rohn
“A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand that uses it bleed.”
Tagore
“You can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark but not an adult who is afraid of the light.”

Solar City Tower Olympic Games 2016 Rio de Janeiro – Design Competition

This project represents a message of a society facing the future; thus, it is the representation of an inner attitude. After hosting the United Nation’s Earth Summit in 1992, Rio de Janeiro will once again be the starting point for a global green movement and for a sustainable development of urban structures. It will perhaps even become a symbol for the first zero carbon footprint Olympic Games.
…a solar power plant that by day produces energy for the city respectively the Olympic village. Excessive energy will be pumped as seawater into a tower. By night, the water can be released again; with the help of turbines, it generates electricity for the night.
…an impressive wonder of nature: an urban waterfall, a symbol for the forces of nature.
…the observation deck on level +98.0. The urban balcony is situated at the top of the tower 105 meters above sea level. Here the visitor has a 360° view of the landscape and can experience the waterfall while walking over the glass sky walk.

Setting the Scene
Think m-m-m for superlative sex: mindset, milieu, and maneuvers. Your mindset or intention goes a long way to ensuring that your lovemaking will be all that it can be. Bring an orientation of pleasure and union rather than seeking the goal of orgasm. When you’re completely present in each moment, every look, every sigh, every touch has the potential to bring you great pleasure and to unite you with your lover on many levels.
Help establish a pleasure perspective by paying attention to the milieu of your lovers’ space. Take a few moments to create a sensual ambience that stimulates all your senses. Light candles, put on sensual music, bring in fresh flowers, arrange your massage oils, lubricants and sex aids, fire up some incense, add a bottle of fine wine and some tasty treats (like chocolate and strawberries), and put on comfortable, sexy clothing. Make sure the bed has fresh linens and lots of pillows.
Now that you’ve got the scene set, don’t just dive in fast and furiously, make your maneuvers meaningful. Create the harmony that Vatsyayana, author of the Kama Sutra, said was so important for superlative sex, by beginning with some loving conversation. Love talk comes in many forms—playful, flirtatious, captivating. Charm your lover with words of adoration and amusement. Remember also to speak your innermost feelings, for the Kama Sutra advises that, “though a man loves a girl ever so much, he never succeeds in winning her without a great deal of talking.” (III-4)
If you don’t think of yourself as someone who’s got the “gift of gab,” there’s no shame in thinking about a few topics of conversation before you get together. For instance: all the things about your partner that turn you on; exciting things you’d like to do together (both in bed and out); aspects of your lover’s character that you admire or respect or are grateful for. No one ever gets tired of hearing about how great you think they are and how much you love them!
Share a little fabulous food and drink as you talk. Feed each other in teasing and tempting ways. Be erotic and mischievous. Remember, a little alcohol can relax you and enhance your experience, too much will deaden your senses and your mind.

Not-Not Versus Subject/Object Consciousness
When you say that something is something—naming what it is, e.g., that is a chair—it is understood that the chair is only a chair. It is not also a table or a shoe or a monkey. When you say something is not something, naming what it is not (e.g., a chair is not a shoe), it is understood that what something is establishes a boundary between that thing and all other things. You can determine where one thing ends and something different, something separate, begins. In the subject/object consciousness everything is understood in these terms. That is to say, every object, including persons as well as inanimate objects, exists separately from all other objects. In this view, each human being (each subject) exists separated from all other human beings, all other subjects, and from all objects. This is what we mean by the illusion of separation.
When trying to describe enlightenment with language, a different terminology is sometimes used, and this can be confusing to people who have never transcended the separation of subjects and objects. Although awkward by standard usage, this terminology is completely accurate in stating the truth. For example, we can describe enlightenment as not emptiness, but not not emptiness; also not manifest reality (the world of subjects and objects), and not not the world. This double negative expression is really saying that enlightenment is not only the void (emptiness) and not only the ordinary material world. It is at once both of these things; it is at once everything and nothing without any separation at all, pure consciousness without subjects and without objects but simultaneously containing all subjects and all objects while also remaining completely empty.
In ordinary subject/object consciousness strict rules of logic apply, following the Aristotelean principle of non-contradiction. For example, if something is true, then it is not also false; if it is up, then it is not down; if evil, then not good; if Al, then not Pala. These statements only seem true as apparent realities within a dualistic consciousness that separates subjects and objects. In the enlightened state, they are false, since ultimate reality is both emptiness (nothing) and manifestation (everything). Therefore, God is not emptiness, but God is not not emptiness. God is not the ego-conscious “I”, but God is not not the ego-conscious “I”. The void (emptiness) and manifestation (the world, existence, cosmos) are one; they are not separate in exactly the same way that all manifestation is one. Just as it is an illusion that all subjects and objects are separate from each other in manifested reality, so also is it an illusion that the void is separate from manifestation. An enlightenment experience that does not recognize this principle remains fragmentary.
Here is a simple, meditative way for you to facilitate the above illumination. Try both to remember and to actually perceive that everything about you is not personal—and of course it is not not personal at the same time. For example, your beauty is not your beauty; it is the beauty, an aesthetic appreciation. Your goodness is not your goodness; it is the goodness, an ethical example. Your anger is not your anger; it is the anger, an arousal of the ego. Your selfishness is not your selfishness; it is the selfishness, a tendency of the ego. All that you perceive about yourself is not yourself; it simply is. All that you feel within yourself simply is. All that you think about simply is. None of these things belong to you, and none of these things are what you really are.
Furthermore, nothing needs to be done about any of it, and nothing needs to be changed. You can take neither credit nor blame for any of this. You become completely detached from the self (ego). When detachment is complete, there is no resistance to anything and no personal pride in anything. Nothing pushes you away and nothing holds you back. Instead of trying to change yourself, your attention is focused on waking up to remember who you really are. One of the four agreements presented by Don Miguel Ruiz in his book, The Four Agreements , is to take nothing personally. Very good advice indeed! This is not absolving yourself from being responsible for your own actions but rather detaching from the foibles of the separated ego-self.
