The show was the stats on americans and how often we have sex, where we do it, if we're doing it in the public..etc. I noticed that a lot of people have sex in half an hour or less. DH and I are for sure in that category. We like to take a shower and totally prep for each other..that included and we are done in 15 min tops. We've been married for 12 years, and sometimes I feel like a freaking teenager who can't control her hormones. Anyone got tips on how to last longer than 15 minutes? lol!

Did you miss the part about Tantric Sex? That can go on for hours. Because it's not just about sex, but about feelings and emotions. There are all kinds of books about it, and I'm sure if you did a search, you could find free info on the internet.

Both Tantric Sex and the Kama Sutra are from India. The ancient Indians felt that sex was as much about spirituality as is was about "satisfaction".....and it was a "union of spirits" that should be "celebrated", not just a method of "getting off".

The Kama Sutra is/was a handbook of positions....thousands of them.....mostly just the basic positions with slight variations, some of which you'd have to be an acrobat to accomplish. There is even a temple in India, covered with sculptures of the various positions.

I don't know the name of it, but there is also a book on the Kama Sutra that has text as well as the positions, outlining the proprieties of sex in ancient India. One I remember was that a man shouldn't insult his wife by attempting cunnilingus on her. That was strictly to be used on the maids, or lower class women! It is/was an "obligation" of the man to give the woman pleasure, and instructions on how to do that.

Here's an explanation of Tantric Sex: http://www.askmen.com/sex/sextip/43_love_tip.html

I Googled "Tantric Sex" and got 9001 pages of information!

Didn't see the show, but a quickie for XH and me was 45 minutes and I beleive that was because for us sex wasn't just intercourse. In that 45 minutes we both got oral, hands and IC. We also carressed, laughed and talked. I think our longest lasted over 3 hours and it was the only time he climaxed three times. Of course he wouldn't do it anywhere but on the bed (regardless of where we started - we had to finish on the bed), and the bed, imo, allows you to be more relaxed and allows for more movement.

As wonderful as that was, I spent years desiring him to just come up behind and "do me", but he never acted on my wishes. So I hope you get enjoy the best of both worlds!
