Perfect for you if...

  • You're curious about tantra but think it requires retreats, Sanskrit, or a specific relationship structure to work.
  • You want concrete techniques to deepen intimacy and pleasure with yourself or partners, not just philosophy.
  • You're exploring BDSM, non-traditional relationships, or aspects of your sexuality that mainstream sex guides ignore.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for a quick self-help fix rather than practices that require patience and experimentation.
  • You're uncomfortable with explicit sexual content and prefer books that discuss sexuality in clinical terms.
  • You want a narrative-driven read instead of an instructional guide with step-by-step exercises.

About this book

Urban Tantra, Second Edition updates the ancient practice of Tantra for contemporary practitioners. This revised edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of the original work and includes a new introduction, updated references and resources, and a reassessment of Tantra's possibilities and responsibilities in today's world. The book combines erotic instruction with spiritual guidance. It features over one hundred techniques for expanded orgasmic states in solo and partner contexts, including more adventurous practices. New content addresses multi-partner play, intersections between Tantra and BDSM, practices for asexuals and aromantics, and expanded guidance for trans and gender nonconforming people. The guide presents methods for experiencing ecstasy across different genders, sexual preferences, and erotic interests. It explores expanded notions of pleasure, intimacy, and sexual fulfillment.
