It sounds like woowoo but practising tantric sex feels incredibly bonding, sensual and loving. Its supposed to have some good health benefits for men and help with premature ejaculation as well.

My SO and I aren't experts in it or anything but we tried incorporating some tantra in our foreplay and its been a success lol. Feels great, meditative, reduces anxiety and puts you in the moment. Might feel a little awkward to start but it was great for me.

Not sure what book to recommend because we mainly used online resources but there's this one Tantric Sex For Men by Michael and Diana Richardson that I've been thinking of buying.

Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for.

Edit: also wanted to link to another comment on this sub with some progressive sex positive resources

In the Vijnanabhairava Tantra, only a single sloka of 163 deals with sexual union. Sex itself isn't what is supposed to be emphasized in Tantric philosophy, rather, it is conscious observance of the bliss that comes about from sexual union. An ardent practitioner develops the dharana (one pointed concentration) to be able to recapture the entirety of sexual bliss from the mere memory of a sexual encounter.

Sloka 70 reads:
>O Queen of Gods, the bliss of woman is attained even in the absence of shakti. By fully remembering and absorbing the mind in the experience of kissing, hugging and embracing, the bliss swells.

A few years ago, I read a book called Tantric Sex For Men, being curious about the application of Tantric and Yogic ideas in sexual situations. It was pretty much just few pages giving a very basic summary of consciousness-based love, with the rest being a bunch of sex positions interspersed with completely random Osho (Rajneesh) quotes, which I found extremely distasteful, considering he was more of a cult-leader than a guru, and has more or less hijacked the West's interpretation of what Tantra actually is. Sadly, the book I read is a common finding in Western publications, which seem to draw more from New Age ideaologies and watered down pseudo-Hinduism, and rarely even mention scriptural references for their claims of historicity. I get that Tantra is all about open-mindedness and using whatever works to achieve liberation. It is, however, reprehensible to represent oneself as an expert of Tantra and not provide readers a single reference to the original manuscripts.

Reading the bibliographies of many Western Tantric publications indicates that the authors all borrow their half-baked, gringo-ized ideaologies from each other, or simply think that Osho's racial association with the homeland of Tantra is enough to lend their work a legitimate flair. All you can do is laugh.

TL;DR
Sex and spirituality sell, even better when they're in the same package. Osho is a fallback for authors to give legitimacy to the use of the word 'tantra' in their books, even when said books make it clear the author has a most superficial understanding of the subject. Many folks don't question what they read, and accept these misled words as ancient knowledge. The readers go on to completely misrepresent the topic when discussing it with their social circles, and that's why the common American thinks Tantra is some light hearted exotic Hindu sex cult.

This is a good suggestion — move away from "hot", ejaculation-based sex. Learn how to have full body orgasms, not just orgasms based on ejaculation. Sex for the male then becomes a replenishing, energising activity, not a depleting one and allows you to match the woman's libido in this case without the troughs and peaks of the typical male refractive response.

I recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Tantric-Sex-Men-Making-Meditation/dp/1594773114

I discovered this book a long time ago in this community, and now I'll pass it forward to you: http://www.amazon.com/Tantric-Sex-Men-Making-Meditation/dp/1594773114

It talks a lot about PE and anxiety, and the benefits of cooling the sex down. Our view of sex is a rock hard penis hammering a vagina. The author of the book defends that the penis is most sensitive on a semi-flacid state.

Personally I still couldn't practice everything the book preaches, but it's a great reading and have a lot of new concepts that I would never have imagined.

I would try tantric. There can be a lot of physical difficulty brought about by pregnancy that can be dealt with through gentle purposeful “cool” sex. There is a lot in the practice around difficult pain both physical and emotional during sex that is discussed and dealt with.

Give the following books a read for a primer before you do anything rash, both are good. It may give you a frame work for intimacy to work from.

Happy to talk details via DM if desired.
