Has anyone here gone to any David Deida workshops OR read his books OR listened to his CDs? Also there are other writers considered in the tantra genre that I would be interested in hearing your experiences.

I've studied Taoist sexual practices with Mantak Chia on and off since 1989. It takes a lot of practice, but they do work. I'm a bit too young to say whether you really get the anti-aging benefits of the practices, but I will say that homework is really enjoyable.

I've looked at a lot of the "American Tantra" literature and talked to a lot of people who've taken a lot of classes. Most of what I've seen is (1) treat your partner with respect (2) invest in 'set and setting' - flowers, fabric/drapery, music, incense (3) use your hands to massage their body inside & out.

I'm not that familiar with David Deida's stuff.
