Excerpts
The way forward for us as humans is to engage in sex with increasing ease, leisure, and relaxation. … In taking speed and stress out of the sexual act, we remove the performance pressure that comes with filling expectations and achieving goals. … A slow approach in sex acts like a “medicine” that is easily able to resolve and heal many long-term sexual problems and woulds that cause unhappiness, separation and, insecurity. (pp. 13-14)
The vast majority of men will admit that after an orgasm they feel depleted, low in energy, disconnected, or withdrawn. Containment of semen will empower a man because the vital substances nourish his intelligence and creativity; he becomes more centered and master of himself. (p. 17)
Pubic hairs are designed to protect sensitive tissues, and their complete absence represents a dramatic loss in sensitivity. (p.83)
If a woman feels pain at any point during the journey of the penis deeper into the vagina, she must communicate this fact immediately and ask her man to stop and to stay exactly on that place where pain is experienced. …. Pain is a doorway in the sense that pain often reflects old memories or tensions that are held in the tissues. … There may be throbbing, pulsating, or electrical feelings. If any sadness or other buried feelings rise to the surface…just allow them to pass through you. (p. 86) … Man may also experience pain, in the testicles, groin or penis. (p.87)
