Slow Sex: The Path to Fulfilling and Sustainable Sexuality

Diana Robinson is the real deal. Her “Slow Sex” approach has changed my life for the better (especially, but not exclusively, my sex life). I have six of her books. All of them are great, and each adds something new. One might complain that her books are repetitive, but this is only true if the books are skimmed. I would say that she is consistent; a close reading reveals additional insights.I know my reviews are repetitive, but my message bears repeating. I highly recommend buying three of Diana's books: Slow Sex, Tantric Sex for Men, and Tantric Orgasm for Women, and jumping in. You don’t need to finish the books before you’ll start to receive the benefits.All it takes is an open mind, a sense of humor, and a willing partner. “Slow Sex” is different, and it takes practice, but the benefits start immediately and continue to deepen. It is much more satisfying than conventional, hot, fast sex. You will become more connected than ever.Don’t delay, START TODAY!

The basic theme of the book is, "Go Slow." OK, I'll buy that, want to tell me anything more? "No." Ok, thank you, I'm done.

I have had the amazing experience to go to a Making Love Retreat in 2010 with the author and bought this book to help me stay in this amazing energy. In this book you will surely learn a lot of ways to make your life more beautiful and deepen your experience of living. If you want to unlock the love inside you and be more love for you and others this is the book for you. It explains about the existence of several simple universal metabolic enhancers and how these can be harnessed in sex to our great benefit and satisfaction.Slow Sex will be on my night table to read and remind me how to create the most precious moments in life.Thank you Diana

Every Man needs to read this book

I found this book hard to read at 1st, having read Tantric Orgasm for Women in 2008/09, then The Heart of Tantric Sex in late 2009, then Tantric Sex for Men in 2011, which I enjoyed immensely & found very easy to read & implement.....this new book came to me in mid 2011 yet I didn't read until late 2012/early 2013.....I wasn't 'ready' for it yet. I have read many other books especially Mantak Chia whom I love his techniques/philosophies. This book was at 1st a challenge & I admit I felt resistance to actually getting through the whole thing. But I am VERY happy that i persevered.This book is quite a new step in her Philosophy yet blends with the previous books & concepts. She really explores new territory, taking the focus off of Breasts, Orgasm, etc. completely.....& focusing upon things such as Awareness, Quality, Rhythm, Stillness.......more Presence-based than actual 'doing' (such as stroking breasts, licking clitoris, etc.). This could be quite challenging for some as it moves away from Physical 'doing' to energetic 'being'......more a Meditation than a doing i guess. Yet i have experienced the phenomenon she speaks of, eg. of how when you put the genitals together 'soft' then allow them to interact on their own terms, slow, still, w/awareness etc......they do take on a life of their own & amazing energetic experiences & feelings begin to happen. Slow actually allows things to happen rather than making them happen through activeness. Also the quality of feeling between the 2 partners is completely different, as she states, notice how you feel 'after' the sexual interaction - with this 'style' of sex you do feel incredible afterwards, even days after or a whole week or more. It has benefits that extend far beyond the immediate sexual pleasure/experience.Can be challenging to get through, even for fans of her previous books, definitely an advanced perspective on what sex is & how it can be experienced......yet it is definitely worth the patience & being open to try a new approach. Maybe even to stick in the back of your mind for later on, as I do enjoy physical passion still while blending some of this style of sex in also. As a 33 year old Man I do resonate to it & is definitely a great book for older aged people & a huge insight I got from this book is that it completely blows away the idea that if a man can't have an erection then he can't experience penetration sex - NOT TRUE at all!! A godsend for older gentleman & those with impotence issues etc.A thorough explanation on HOW to go about a Slow Sex practise is included in the 2nd half of the book, after the theory is laid out, making it Practical as well. Brilliant.

Refreshing new look on approaching our sexual experiences. Written on Eastern Philosophy of slow sex. Shared with my husband who enjoyed as well.

Practical, easy to read, easy to follow instructions. Must read.

Ground-breaking book which dramatically and totally changes our understanding of the neurochemistry sex plays in our relationships.How we express the sexual energies can either create distance from our partners and sexual cravings, or, can create strong bonding between us. Also spills out into all other areas of our lives. It's all brain and hormonal chemistry.

As a 20 page pamphlet it would have been gold. Alas, the author bloats the pages by ceaselessly repeating highly questionable content along the lines of "not ejaculating will empower a man as the vital substances in semen increase his intelligence", "a man's climax leaves him stressed and depleted", and "semen contain immense amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals, which shouldn't be lost". And that's just page 17. Her use of language is weak, imprecise and contradictory. There appears to be no difference between the words climax, ejaculation and orgasm when she talks about men, likewise "intelligence if is fluidly used to describe both "innate intelligence" (presumably meaning something like "listening to your own body") and IQ.The opening chapters of the book frequently refer to and quote from Marc David's "The Slow Down Diet", a book she freely admits has been a source of information and that inspired her and that "resonated with cell cell in her body". A book that claims we can change the speed of the earth's rotation with the power of our thought. the Author is clearly infatuated with Marc David, evident by the frequent references to his book, the appeal to authority (he has a masters degree in the psychology of eating) and this relationship may be mutual has he wrote the back page and first page reviews.If you can skip past the drivel, forgive unsubstantiated claims about the body and psychology (slow sex reduces your need to eat, because you find nourishment elsewhere, cellular level changes to the body, the change to a human body's magnetic field through slow sex, the source of all anger lies in accumulated sexual frustration) and never ending battery of naive make-believe, you skip to the pages near illustrations to get to the actual content. Despite it's 165 pages, it shouldn't take more than an afternoon to read and absorb.

Diana’s work is very deep and at the same time simple because it goes against all of our conditioning it not only requires an open mind but may not be accessible to all readers unless they are already at a certain state. I applaud her work. She really speaks of narrowing the gap between body and mind so you are at the pace of the body - which may be slow, medium or fast! But such is modern life that the difficulty of integrating mind and body is so hard for many that you need to go slow

An wen richten sich die Ratschläge, die sich hunderte Male wiederholen. An Menschen, denen Empathie fehlt. Die werden nicht profitieren können. An diejenigen, die nicht wissen, wie sie es tun sollen. Die bekommen keine Hinweise, jedenfalls nicht die, die nötig sind. Ach ja, da sind noch die Frauen, die sich unverstanden fühlen und keinen Schimmer haben, wie Frau mit Mann umgehen sollte. Die finden sich und ihre Gedankenwelt in dem Ausführungen. Ach ja, auf den Punkt gebracht.....nur nicht zu schnell eindringen......anscheinend gibt es auf dieser Welt nur diesen Typ Mann......und somit eindeutig keine Kaufempfehlung für lebensaktive Menschen....

The world needs more love. This book gets you making it, every day, without effort, nuisance, or the feeling that its work. Thanks to this book, no matter how many other areas of our relationship are inadequate, bedtime can be a harbor in the storm. The writer's tone is delightful, not one bit preachy, full of insightfulness and lovely turns of phrase. When the book ended, I wanted more, so I bought other books the author recommended. I'm now doing Slow Food eating as well. Becoming mindful in one thing gets me being mindful in all these other areas. This book has made my body a happy body, and I wish this for everyone.

Not very practical for people living regular lives. Very specific, with diagrams. It is recommended that couples using these techniques, practice sex every day, avoid orgasms & spend 3 hours per sexual encounter.
