Ecstatic Energies and the Art of Living
Erotic energies and our intentions, transformations and care of these gifts constitute a key artform in our lives. There is such beauty in this bliss, well beyond the joys of sexual responses, this bliss can float us in intentional ways to exceptional heights in personal, interpersonal, social and community life. Ohhh! That was a Heartgasm...

Tantra & Bio-electric Sex
Based on the reference, I think from you Jack, of David and Ellen Ramsdale's book Sexual Energy Ecstasy, we bought a copy and are very much enjoying exploring its resources.
In scanning it initially, pages 304 to 307 jumped out at me. This section, Bio-Electric Sex, so closely described what mrs. a and I have been experiencing and its profound sense of satisfaction, transcendence and peace.
Bio-Electric Sex is the Ramsdale's digest of Dr. Rudolf von Urban's work and theory. Von Urban was a doctor, psychiatrist and Tantric pioneer whose patients reported many "cures" for various medical problems and other very positive effects, including exceptionally deep relaxation, all from a particular form of intercourse. After a search, I found a reference to von Urban in Michael Murphy's great compendium The Future of the Body: Explorations into the Further Evolution of Human Nature. Murphy notes von Urban was a student of Freud, and follows von Urban's thought through poet Peter Redgrove, essayist George Leonard and others.
Also illustrated in the Bio-electric section is the Scissors position for intercourse. It is our favourite and has been for years since it minimizes the pain and other distractions of my musculo-skeletal injuries' remnants and some just plain aging effects. One of several lasting practices from our early 1990s tantric explorations is our appreciation of times of holding still, and of very slow gentle sex. We have incorporated this more frequently over the last year and a half in our explorations of "mutual prostate sex", including our couples path through both KSMO and Aneros.
Our related interest in the Slow Food and Slow Cities phenomena and the general approach of the Slow Sex movement is another thread in all this. See Carl Honoré's book In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide movement is Challenging the Cult of Speed with its chapter on Slow Sex.
In our early attempts and learning here and at Aneros we had the desire to have a traditional intercourse grand finish of ejaculation to every session. Gradually we found we did not "need" to do this and we let the sessions take their shape from our energy levels and intuitions. Increasingly we have found far more profound relaxation, mutual ease and satisfaction, and a higher level of very positive energy from our lovemaking by intuitively focusing more and more on the "energy exchanges" I have described in earlier posts here. Some of the best of these exchanges, in addition to the periodic "jolts" and many "tickles" by intention, are the wonderful subtle senses of "flow", the stillness of "sharing" and the transformative "micro-buzz" energy of still "exchange".
It turns out this is very close to von Urban's therapeutic intercourse formula of:
* in the scissors position, the male gently being welcomed in erect or flaccid or in-between, (We have deliberately recently experimented with flaccid entry and it works very well and has its own unique joys!),
* the first 30 minutes stay still and have your minds focused (we say "meet") at/in your genitals and sensing the energies exchanges,
* the second 30 minute of thrusting intercourse staying in the Scissors position, ideally without male ejaculation, and
* a further 30 minutes of stillness if ejaculation does occur.
We have never timed ourselves. We are too focused on what our bodies are telling us and each other! We are too delighted to follow a formula, because we get the results promised and more intuitively.
Von Urban's theory is that male "bodymind" cells and female "bodymind" are of opposite electrical polarity and that by prolonged contact of moist skin there is an exchange of these bio-electric potential energies, which produce the manifest positive results, including ecstatic experiences.
This may be the time for science to take up the detailed study of this phenomenon. All we can say, having stumbled upon it intuitively, is Hallelujah! for the whole thing. It is now the centre of our "mutual prostate" practice, with ejaculations an occasional continuing joy, but just one in a growing panoply of possibilities.
Hope this is helpful on your journey in some way. All the best to all.
