OMG, I cannot believe that I only read my first Tantra book at 36! It moved me deeply! I couldn't stop smiling while listening to it (while running). It spoke right into my heart!

When I was growing up I was disgusted by the sex porn shows us. Anonymous, unintimate, purely focused on the genitals, fast and shallow. It took me years to stop imitating what I thought I was supposed to do and start doing what I felt I wanted. Also, I have never been physically able to sleep with a guy I am not in love with. I had some epic fails in my youth :-)) I have never been into fantasizing about men I don't know or I don't love and always hated masturbation. (Now I learned the term "friction sex" - yup, never liked this!)

To me, lovemaking has always been about spiritually meeting the other in the human bodies we live in. I have had such cosmic experiences that had NOTHING to do with what sex was supposed to look like in my head (thanks to the porn industry and mass culture). I recently was asked about my greatest sexual experience and I was like, Well, when the souls make love. I was laughed at.

That's exactly why this book spoke volumes to me. It explains sex the way I always thought it is supposed to be. A spiritual connection that is full of love, intimacy, honesty, trust, beauty, vulnerability, magic and joy. So much to learn there, explore and experience. Oh my! <3

Also, the book is a great entry point, I thought as a newbie in the subject. Deep, inspiring, not to technical and generally, very beautiful and positive.

I highly recommend this book. Everything she said, it was like I already knew deep down but appreciated it being put into words. It's all about connecting with yourself, the world around you, and other people on an open, loving, intuitive, and honest level. Reading this book along with being around loving people in an Valley in Vermont has helped bring me out of my depression. I spent many hours laying naked in sun at my favorite spot on the Mad River reading this book. The only thing I would change about this book is the title because I would say it isn't traditional tantra. It's not sexualized tantra either though.

The definition of tantric in this book seems to mean totally connected. Trantra is an Eastern Spiritual tradition.

Much of the book is about kindness, personal growth, being authentic, … As I try to summarize it, I fail because it is about relationships, spirituality and many related aspects. It is a self-help book.

I bought and read it because I was mentioned in a couple of marriage books that I read. This book was very engrossing.

[Anastasia]

This is a thought-provoking book that discusses the application of a tantric philosophy to life in general and to sexuality. Some parts of the book are very positive; other parts feel just as dogmatic as traditional Christianity (which is funny, because Bos is critical of traditional Christianity). I think, overall, there's a lot to learn here.

[Cala Camille]

It is a light but practical book. I really appreciate Katrina’s ability to explore masculine and feminine polarities without falling into modern stereotypes and norms. Though, I get more out of her YouTube channel. I find her approach improves the framing of my personal life, though I’ve yet to successfully implement it in dating. I think her newest book might be more helpful in this regard.

Opened me up to a whole new world. I applaud the author for being direct and clear, maintaining concise accessible language in such a nuanced topic. Tantra is for everyone. This is definitely my jumping off point for tantric study and practice
