== Tantric sex ==

[[Tantric sex]], which is not the same as [[Vajrayana|Buddhist tantra (Vajrayana)]], is the ancient Indian spiritual tradition of sexual practices. It attributes a different value to orgasm than traditional cultural approaches to sexuality. Some practitioners of [[Tantra|tantric]] sex aim to eliminate orgasm from sexual intercourse by remaining for a long time in the pre-orgasmic and non-emission state. Advocates of this, such as [[Rajneesh]], claim that it eventually causes orgasmic feelings to spread out to all of one's conscious experience.<ref>{{Cite book |author = Rajneesh, Bhagwan Shree |title = Tantra, Spirituality, and Sex |date = 1983 |isbn = 978-0-88050-696-0 |publisher = Rajneesh Foundation Internat. |location = Rajneeshpuram, Or. }}{{Page needed|date=August 2010}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |author1 = Chia, Mantak |author2 = Abrams, Douglas |title = The Multi-Orgasmic Man |publisher = Harper San Francisco |date = 1996 |isbn = 978-0-06-251336-6 |url = https://archive.org/details/multiorgasmicman00chia }}{{Page needed|date=August 2010}}</ref>

Advocates of tantric and neo-tantric sex who claim that Western culture focuses too much on the goal of climactic orgasm, which reduces the ability to have intense pleasure during other moments of the sexual experience, suggest that eliminating this enables a richer, fuller, and more intense connection.<ref>{{Cite book |author1 = Douglas, N |author2 = Slinger, P |title = Sexual Secrets: The Alchemy of Ecstasy |publisher = Destiny Books |date = 1979 |isbn = 978-0-89281-266-0 |url = https://archive.org/details/sexualsecretsalc00doug }}{{Page needed|date=August 2010}}</ref>
