By clarifying 50 common misconceptions, the book explains and teaches a simple practice of intimate mastery. The book brings the physical and mental effects of esoteric tantra within reach of a modern 21st century audience.

There is a universe of intimate tantric practice and transformation waiting for those who dare to go beyond the conventional, the safe and the familiar. Tantric practice transcends greed, shame, confusion, stagnation and frustration by opening a gateway to transformational experiences and events that otherwise require psychedelics or years of meditation.

For over 15 years, Alexa Vartman has been a trailblazer in bringing ancient tantric practices to a modern audience. As founder of The New Tantra, Alexa's workshops have affected thousands of people in over 15 countries. Alexa is a genderfluid person who embraces every kind of expression - from light to dark and from masculine to feminine.

In this book, Alexa shares her unique expertise for the first time with a larger audience, including women, men and anyone in between - regardless of sexual orientation or relationship status.

Be warned: the book is unashamed and outspoken. For adventurous adult audiences with a sense of humor only.

OMGOODNESS What a great book! Really good scientific explanations about the practices of Tantra, it's very entertaining and humorous and hard to put down ;-) I didn't know exactly what to expect but I was blown away! I'm recommending this book to all of my Tantra clients, it's such a simple clear understanding that I believe most people will be able to understand better than I had been explaining in the past. I'm really grateful this book has been released and I can't wait until more and more people read it and begin to understand and live!

This book ushers in a new era of tantra. It's very readable, sprinkled with humor and it gives a how to approach to de-armoring, which is much needed in our sexual society. The last few chapters capture what I look from in tantric sex.

Written with wisdom and humor. This book is a delight! Good sex education is seriously lacking in the world and this book is a game changer. Though the focus is on giving and receiving better sex, the ego busting concepts will serve you well in relationships of all kinds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, das beste Buch über Sex ?
Reviewed in Germany on October 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
Die Konzepte die im Detail vorgestellt werden sind echt komplett revolutionär für mich gewesen, die mir eine ganz andere Beziehung zum Potential in Sex geben.

Auch die praktischen Hilfestellungen zum Thema Beziehungen und Dynamiken zwischen dem maskulinen und femininen hätte ich mir wirklich in meiner letzten Beziehung gewünscht.

Für mich zeigt Alexa hier ein enormes persönliches Wachstumspotenzial auf, das mich zum ersten mal vom Weg des Tantras überzeugen konnte - etwas was gemeinsam atmen und die Erwartung von langweiligem Blümchen Sex für Frauen - bisher nicht konnten.

Lass dich vom optisch wirklich eher unterdurchschnittlichen Cover nicht täuschen!

This book presents a vivid look at what life looks like when you dive into an open minded comfortable sexual expression, and have a boat load of experience and research to go along with it.

The basis around human connection, polarity, understanding where and how to release tension in the body to better exchange some rocking vibes, are just a few things to expect... Alex-a Vartman expresses herself freely, shamelessly, and confidently throughout the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking, liberating... and fun!
Reviewed in Italy on January 6, 2021

It’s uncommon to find something that reconciles us with sex while shaking its foundations... right?
Well, this book does it brilliantly!

It challenges all our common beliefs around sex and, by doing so, it gives us new perspectives and several a-ha! moments. Which in the end make us feel welcome as we are - with all the shades of our sexuality - and open up new exciting possibilities.

There’s much more than we know, in sex, and this book does its best to be an eye-opener and a no-bullshit guide, for those who are ready and willing to explore.

I’ve also appreciated the tone of voice, which is simple, humourous and humble, although it’s clear that the author knows what’s what. Very different from many sex books that I’ve read, which carry that annoying “spiritual guru” undertone.

In summary, I’m happy with the purchase!
And I guess if sex is “your thing”, you’ll be happy too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful, practical, powerful (and unexpectedly funny)
Reviewed in the Netherlands on December 3, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book is an extremely refreshing take on sexuality and tantric practise. It is more of a technique manual than anything else, but a very well-written one. Chapters are brief and to the point, although I think "40 misconceptions" could also have been plenty to cover the main points.

The techniques covered in the book go straight to the core. No messing around with kama sutra positions or cheeky exercises. Instead, key practises for releasing the sexual energy that lives at the center of your physical body.

The writing style is very informal. I frequently turned to the author portrait on the back cover while reading, because it really feels like Alexa is talking straight to you. The text is peppered with little jokes, mainly for the pleasure of the author it seems. I laughed at nearly all of those, but to be honest, often just because the joke was so bad it was good again.

For Dutch readers: the author of this book is the kind of 'relnicht' that we need many more of. Pulling no punches, fighting prudeness and nonsense about sex with a lot of good humour and practical advice.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 13, 2020

I’ve heard about Alexa Vartman for a few years, and know people who have been to the training workshops. They always sounded intriguing and exciting, but I never felt the urge to go because it seemed too hedonistic to me. I preferred Tantra training in more heart-centred and “safer” environments.
However I am mightily impressed by this book. It teaches a lot of extremely important techniques, dispels a lot of myths, and is written in a very engaging style. No punches are pulled. I loved it and recommend it to all curious seekers who are drawn to the possibility of a great sex life.
