5.0 out of 5 stars The book for Us to share, Aug 14 2003

By	Torin SR Hill (San Diego, USA/Cebu, PI) - See all my reviews

If there was a manual for our relationship, shouldnt it be one that takes love seriously & Tantra deeply, yet comes off lightly? I recommend this book to you as a guide on the new path-- sexual healing and an honest look at how We might work together. Sure it has a lil bit of "pyramid-hat wearing," but what's Tantra with out a lil' Shiva, Shakti and Chakra action? This book covers a very real method for developing stronger and more harmonious relationships, and I would say that's why this book excels more than the average tantric tome. Breathing together as a daily ritual; "no fault" communication; and a section on healing the sexual wounds of past relationships all make for a useful and informative easy read.
For Us, as we grow on new levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one..., May 16 2001

By A Customer

I've read four books on the subject of tantra. That doesn't make me an expert on tantra, but it does make me a believable source on what books conveyed the subject matter best. This one tops the list. The other books were much longer, and much shorter on information. The Muirs' have somehow crammed a ton of info into an easy and pleasurable read. If you only get one book on the subject, this is the one!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Caring Approach to Sexuality, Mar 15 2003

By	Richard Ballard "rjballard" (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving" by Charles and Caroline Muir is a positive discussion of loving sexuality. Charles and Caroline Muir conduct Tantric vacation seminars in Hawaii. "Tantra ..." does not concentrate upon (Western) neo-Tantric mechanics -- "Tantra ..." is *not* a 'how-to' manual. Rather, "Tantra ..." concentrates upon a couple's interpersonal and sexual relationship, encouraging both partners 'to play by the same rules' using effective communication and shared intimacy to protect and preserve their mutual investment in each other. The Muirs acknowledge that their approach might not save a spoiled relationship, but their approach might prevent a fresh relationship from spoiling.

"Tantra ..." is a textual overview of neo-Tantric sexuality that emphasizes sexual love between equal caring partners. The Muirs summarize neo-Tantric sexuality in a well-written, positive and optimistic manner, but provide no accompanying diagrams. Male ejaculatory control is discussed extensively -- in my opinion the discussed male ejaculatory control methods are *not* reliable, potentially are *very* painful, and *never* should be used as a contraception technique. The Muirs do not discuss 'safe words' -- easily remembered words or phrases signifying 'disengage immediately'. And the Muirs neglect to discuss birth control and 'safe sex' -- serious omissions in *any* discussion of human sexuality.

I believe that "Tantra: The Art of Conscious Loving" is most valuable for new partners in a fresh relationship without entrenched bad habits and attitudes. I recommend "The Art of Sexual Ecstasy: The Path of Sacred Sexuality for Western Lovers" by Margo Anand as a follow-on text for readers wishing detailed neo-Tantric information.

There are many practical ideas in this book that I am still using five years later. I find many of these ideas to be curiously lacking elsewhere in western society. Read more
