The Meaningful Life with Andrew G. Marshall

Diana Richardson: Slow Sex: How Tantra Can Revolutionise Your Love Life


Listen Later

Many couples come to me complaining of a dissatisfying love life: some are in a low-sex or no-sex relationship, while others experience sex as boring and mechanical. In this episode, Diana Richardson shares her “Slow Sex” program, and suggests how you can create a more loving sexual partnership, well into old age. 

We discuss:

  • Tantric sex, love and sexual fulfilment.
  • How to make sex a conscious decision, not an accidental encounter 
  • How slowness increases sensitivity and awakens the body’s innate mechanism for ecstasy 
  • The healing spiritual power of slow sex. 
  • Diana Richardson is considered one of today’s leading authorities on human sexuality, and she is known as the pioneer of Slow Sex. She has written eight books on how a person can experience a more fulfilling sex and love life. 

    Born in South Africa in 1954, she first qualified as a lawyer and then trained as a massage therapist in the UK. Her interest in the body and healing prompted an intense personal exploration into the union of sex and meditation - the essence of Tantra. Since 1993, together with her partner, Michael, she has been sharing her insights and experiences with couples who travel from many different parts of the world to participate in their informative and life changing ‘Making Love’ Retreats in Switzerland.
