Light Touch

2007-09-20T02:53:00Z

When you touch another man sensually or erotically, are you aware of the type of touch you are using??

I teach couples to broaden their touch skills and to consciously use different type of touching. Light touch is one of my favorite types of touch. I have heard it called "The Velvet Touch" or "The Love Bath". However, I think of it as a light, tingly, and electrifying touch. The best way to practice learning this is by yourself. This way you can be the giver as well as the receiver. You get a lot of information to work with... and you know what works for you.

So, try this touch exercise:

Forearm Position Up
Extend your arm; palm faces up. Slightly bend your elbow.

Fingers Of The Other Arm
Use the fingers to gently touch the extended inner forearm.

Light Touch
Rest your fingertips at the wrist. Touch the hairs slightly above the skin.

Stroking
Use a long linear movement to stroke the inner arm from wrist to elbow crease.

Slowly
Use the slowest movement possible. Repeat movement several times.

The Creative Energy Of Eros

2007-09-16T15:10:00Z

Erotic energy is such a creative energy. Not only can erotic energy be used in sex but you can learn to use that desire, that motivation to do many things. I want to share with you a drawing I received from a great artist in New York City. I bet that he channels erotic energy to create things.... even an Austino genie.

Tantra Is That Thing Where..........

2007-09-12T15:42:00Z

I got a call from a man who said. "Tantra is that thing where you don't cum, right??. I dont like that."

Tantra is quite an encompassing subject, not really one specific thing. Here is a little more information for you.......

Tantra.com says... "Developed in India, Tantric practices were at their height between 500 to 1300 AD. Today Tantra is a living system designed to promote rapid growth towards enlightenment. Tantra's components include yoga, meditation, deity worship, whole-body health, and Ayurvedic medicine." (www.tantra.com)

There are 64 ancient arts in white tantra. They includes a wide range of artistic thing done with more passion and consciousness: singing, dancing and so much more. Check this out ---> 64 Arts on----- Tantra Temple.us

There are also another 64 arts of red tantra, which is about Tantra Sexuality. The Kama Sutra is the best know book for this.

"The Kama Sutra details many kissing techniques, the Sixty-Four Arts, courting practices, modes of touching including biting and scratching, sexual positions or asanas, how to treat marriage partners as well as consorts, the concocting of aphrodisiacs, and much more." (www.tantra.com).

There is a Gay Kama Sutra. I find it to be a good coffee table book.

"Many people able to reach deep ecstatic sexual states liken these to transcendental spiritual experiences. They discover that the distinction between the physical and the spiritual is not as clear as they were taught. They may even feel that they have come to know God, or ultimate reality, through sex. Tantra Yoga and the Kama Sutra both view sexuality as vital aspects of the path to enlightenment." (www.tantra.com)

Within all these specific practices and exercises, and in light of slowing down and enjoying pleasure longer and not trying to rush things with sex and solo sex.......there is something about waiting a while longer to ejaculate.

As you can see it's not a sound byte.

An iPhone Price Cut??? I Had To Laugh

2007-09-04T19:30:00Z

Today's news --------------- Apple cuts the price of the iPhone 200 bucks.. and I laughed.

I just bought the phone a week ago. I have been buying Apple products for 10 years, and it seems I have a perspective on Apple. My thoughts say.... that every time I buy something it is replaced by something better shortly after my purchase. It is just my perspective, not really a reality, but it does look like reality.

So I wanted to wait to buy the new iPhone until the newer version came out, but I couldn't wait. Besides, my phone broke and I needed something now... teehee ...... so I jumped at the chance to own an iPhone.

One week later I am laughing at my perspective. I am glad that laughing. I would prefer to laugh than cry.

Shhhhhhhh!!!!

Jacking Off vs Self Pleasuring

2007-09-02T15:20:00Z

Jacking Off vs Self Pleasuring

Joseph Kramer mentions in his masturbation coaching courses that statistic show that 80% of men masturbate while in fantasy, or on the computer, or watching a porn video. I know many who have their video cued up to their favorite scene to streamline things, and to ejaculate in 3 minutes or less.

Self Pleasuring is an inward experience. I want to feel my body, I want to touch my body, and feel many different sensations. I often set an intention for my own slower and longer solo sessions. I like to see how delicate I can be, or discover a new way of using my hands, or how close I can create as much intense feelings a possible, as many times as possible. Slowing down is the my main things. It is an act of self love to slow things down. Sure it can be hard to slow down, but who doesn't need to slow down a bit???

So sometimes I choose to jack off, sometimes I choose to pleasure myself and take my time, more often I am choosing self pleasuring.

My Hula Hoop Progress

2007-09-01T16:15:00Z

The first few days of practice was really difficult because I wanted to keep it up.... . oh yes, doesn't every man...

After many days, I have become one with my hoop. I can feel the movement, and I can keep the hoop up for as long as I want. Honestly, this is a great way to connect with your sensuality. It is also a great workout and especially for the abs.

I hope to video myself sometime soon, get it onto Utube.

Taking Care Of Myself

2007-08-30T07:03:00Z

Taking Care Of Myself.

One thing I am noticing since my intensive retreat this summer... is how important it is to take care of myself, even more than I do now. I am beginning to take my own personal practices to the next level. I have often felt that I take good care of myself. I eat well, sleep well, and exercise. I have my yoga, my meditation, chanting, Qi Gong and Tantric practices too. I am pondering how this can be ---upgraded.

Since I give so much of myself in private sessions it is important for me to be at my best. I prefer to be totally present with my clients so I need to take care of my needs - first.

Many clients who are givers and provider find it hard to grasp that we need to take care of our needs first so that we can fully give to others. It really is not a selfish things. It is a selfless thing.

Men's Festival At Wildwood In September

My iPhone.

2007-08-29T05:18:00Z

I did it.. I really did it. I bought the new iPhone today, about 2 month after it's ... release. (I just love the word, release, .. don't you?)

I needed a new phone anyways. I have had a Treo for many years. It has served me well --but it was not working any longer. I could receive calls, but nobody could hear me.. so, not so great for business.

I walked into the magnificent Apple store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and took a big breath in.. I walked through thee --- iDoors and up to one of the really friendly -- iSalesAssistants. I took another breath and said " I will take one of the iPhones". I wanted to savor the total experience of buying, after all it is quite a chuck of change.

Anything you want to experience more fully, just breath and feel.

I fled The City

2007-08-24T06:34:00Z

It looked like it is going to rain all weekend so we headed to peaceful and tranquil Saugatuck for some fun. I have been told it is a lovely resort place in Michigan, a very gay Saugatuck too---- So 4 of us left,....me, Ralph, Kevin, and Scott.

I took my hula hoops.

It rained the entire way here, and during most of the drive the power was out in each town we passed..

What a storm.

Wild weather In Chicago

2007-08-24T01:34:00Z

Today was one of the freakiest weather days in chicago.

I got a call around 3pm from my best friend, Ralph, ---he said, "you better get into the basement, there are tornado warning" (Yikes, I don't want to breath) When I looked out the window the sky was blue and the wind was calm, not more than 5 minutes later, the sky was dark gray and it started to get a little windy, and a few seconds after that the wind picked up and things were blowing past the widow, first papers, then more debris, then twigs, branches.. and I headed for the basement.

I had not been in the basement, to take cover from a tornado, since i was a tiny Austino.

I learned later that the winds were up to 80mph.

Hurricane force winds, in Chicago????.. Gosh, and now it just continues to rain.

What Was The Tantric Retreat Like?

2007-08-22T21:50:00Z

What was the Tantric Retreat Like?

My friends have been asking me about my summer and the Tantric intensives. I have so much to say but simply put.. It was really powerful, life altering... a transforming experience. I am changed for the better.

Although Tantra might seem like just an erotic experience. It really is much more, a lot more.

Many mornings, I practiced meditation, chanting and yoga.

Massage most days in the afternoon and evening. Light touch massage, sensual massage, authentic "body electric massage", erotic massage, anal massage, 2 hand massage, 4 hands, and sometimes more hands. It was some of the most loving touch I have experienced.

Then there was the sharing, the breathing together, the eye gazing, intimate conversation and sharing, and group sharing... talking about all the thing that block us from experiencing bliss.

I was so charged up from spiritual practice, massage, and intimate sharing. I felt like I could conquer the world, at least my own domain. It is interesting how much power a man can feel from being connected to his body, his heart, and others. It is great to be a man.

Hula Hoops Are Back

2007-08-21T21:14:00Z

I was in San Francisco for gay pride 2 month ago, and loved it! I had a great time watching the parade and going to the festival.... and I saw something really fun....guys were dancing to club music with hula hoops. It was so sensual. Those hoops were not the same ones that kids use. They looked bigger and heavier. I took a video camera and taped about 5 minute of it. I would show it to you if I can get the podcasting part of this blog to work. .Wish me luck... until then.. you can look at my links to hula hoops.. .... on and by the way. I have 2 hoops and I am practicing.

Advanced Tantra

2007-06-19T14:57:00Z

I have been in deep pondering space for a few weeks about the role of the masculine and feminine energy in how we relate to ourselves and to each other, in sexual situations and in all of life.

My entire being years to intentionally expand into more masculine places of being, as well as more the feminine. I want to be held at times and ....I want to be able to hold others and tell them that everything is going to be alright, .....not just a long term partner, but clients, friends, family.. everyone.

more later!
