Based on the simple wisdom of mindfulness practices, The Joy of Mindful Sex provides an expanded understanding of sexual pleasure, freed from performance anxiety and restrictive, mechanical concepts. The book describes with illuminating detail how a mindful attitude--a joyful and attentive participation in the present moment, free of worry about past or future, about what should (or should not) be happening--can help readers attain a more vibrant understanding of their sexuality, their partner, and themselves. Complete with exercises and games specifically designed to release inhibitions, as well as sensual photographs, breathing techniques, and methods for taking it slow and performing Tantric sexual massage, this accessible resource promises to help couples deepen their trust, strengthen their communication, and achieve heightened sexual pleasure.
