The point is to tap into the primal, animalistic nature of sex. Bad note-taking aside, it was the push we needed to make an intense growling tiger sound out of our mouths as we started to orgasm. Doing so immediately slowed his orgasmic roll, allowing him to flip me over on top of him.Īs we were about to orgasm, I literally looked at my notes from class to remember the next breathing technique.

When we were having sex after the class, I instructed John to do the 'breath of fire' we learned in class, aka breathe quickly through his nose from his navel. Much like with yoga, a huge part of Tantra is connecting your breath with your movement. This we learned from Kim and Brad Walker of Houston-based Tantric Hearts, who have been teaching at Hedonism II for 17 years.

The main takeaway from our first Tantric couples' workshop was that some sex moves can help me experience a better orgasm-and help my partner last longer-without changing positions or involving fancy toys.

“Detachment” means indifference, so it’s a near synonym of “apathy” it’s another opposite trap that would work well in the other blank, but not in blank (ii).It turns out growling like a tiger can enhance your orgasm. However, pleasure-seeking is not by definition immoral, any more than “morality” would necessarily lead to academic laurels. There are no clues to suggest that he was deceitful, or exhibiting “duplicity.” In the second blank, “morality” might feel right: if your personal view is that “hedonism” is immoral, this would provide the contrast required. “Studiousness” would be a good fit for the second blank, but is an opposite trap in the first blank. The best answers are “apathy,” indifference or lack of interest, and “diligence,” commitment or hard work.

“As opposed” indicates a reversal between what happened in Boehm’s undergraduate years and during his doctoral program, which is also indicated by the switch from “hedonism,” or pleasure-seeking, to “earnest devotion,” probably to academic studies, as this devotion “led to academic laurels.” The first blank should either match “hedonism” or contrast “devotion,” and the second blank should match “earnest devotion” or be something related to academic success.
