Ask Audrey: I tried tantric sex with my yoga instructor once and we managed 47 minutes before the bus arrived at Parnell Place

Got a problem? Ask Audrey...

How’re oo’ goin’ on? Herself is after falling in with a group of radical Sting fans back in Ballydehob, and didn’t she come home the other night and say we should try Tantric sex. I said that’s grand for people in Tantria, but we live four miles outside Skibbereen. She gave me one of her looks and said go off and do your research. So, what’s the crack with the Tantric sex? -John Joe Ger Joe, head west from Skibbereen until you meet a man who never read a book that wasn’t about greyhounds.

Tantric sex has been going on for over 5,000 years. (And there was Sting boasting about five hours.) It’s an Eastern spiritual approach to sex, where you delay your orgasm in order to reach fuller union with your partner.
