What's a "tantric sex guru"?



The Guy Who Played Barney the Dinosaur Now Runs a Tantric Sex Business

He started his current practice in 2004, and finds clients any number of ways, from word of mouth to converting women he’s met on Tinder into believers.

A full session with tantra massage specialist and spiritual healer David Joyner lasts three to four hours and costs $350. For that price, female clients—the only kind he accepts—can expect to receive a ritual bath, chakra balancing, and a massage. Also on the menu: cosmic, mind-blowing orgasms.

4 hours of sex with multiple orgasms for the woman.
Guy, nope. Control thing.
For me that would be a hell of a lot of chafing.

I've been with men who take awhile even without intending to, and even after multiples on my end sometimes there's just not enough lubrication to not make a great night turn into "Now we can't bang for a few days..."

It had Ben Kingsley as a Sikh cab driver in NYC who befriended a woman who was suddenly divorced by her husband. The scene that I still regard as hysterical was one where she was set up with a blind date. The guy was some brainiac who did the tantric thing. After a bit she was just bored and sore. She kept asking him if he had come yet.
That’s what I was thinking of - there can never be enough lube for four hours of pumping.

Here we go looby loo. Here we go looby light.
Here we go looby loo all on a Saturday night.

I put my right hand in, I put my right hand out.
I give my hand a shake, shake, shake and turn myself about.
Here we go looby loo. Here we go looby light.
Here we go looby loo all on a Saturday night.

I put my lefthand in, I put my left ...

Man, I had no idea when I let the kids watch that stuff

It was a known quantity in the rag trades that the women who worked the pedal sewing machines would sometimes just go Meg Ryan.
Obviously, you don’t the same effect with electric machines.

...in the Seattle area styled themselves as "Tantric temples," offering training in intimacy and bodily discovery, and claiming that this was an activity covered by First Amendment protection.

Not surprisingly, law enforcement saw it slightly differently. After a series of raids (and, one would assume, convictions), the "Tantric" claim seems to have been abandoned.
