RE "non-orgasmic sex": A distinction in the literature is often made between 'normal' orgasm (i.e. physiological orgasm) and 'tantric' orgasm (an energy event which generally produces altered states of consciousness). Some authors, e.g. the Golds, stress the tantric orgasm exclusively; others, such as Margo Anand, merely prefer it to the physiological kind. Some Buddhist sects also stress a long prepared 'tantric' orgasm as the trigger experience which produces enlightenment. 2. RE Tibetan Tantra: I am less well informed on the non-sexual tantras, the major example of which is apparently the Tibetan variety. It is my understanding, however, that such tantras stress the cultivation of desire, harnessing and focusing it for enlightenment. This differs, of course, from other Buddhist sects which emphasize detachment. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ Dumke arrakis@execpc.com 5436dumker@vms.csd.mu.edu R.Dumke@genie.com Proudly contributing to the moral decay of America.
