Fantastic!

This book explores what it is like to live in awe and wonder before erotic mystery. It shatters the myths about celibacy as being a necessarily disembodied or dissociated practice. Sovatsky shows how celibacy can be a profoundly erotic and sensual experience in its own right. He also elucidates the many benefits and reasons a person might choose to explore celibacy as a valid erotic option.

Includes Exercises!

From back cover: "In this extraordinary celebration of the erotic and its myriad forms of expression, Dr. Stuart Sovatsky introduces us to a Tantric form of celibay that is both passionate and spiritual. He explains how periods of celibacy can enhance our awareness of the erotic impulse and discusses some of the reasons that one might choose to be celibate for a time -- including the need to redirect sexual energy toward friendship, deepen a life partnership, heal the emotional scars of sexual abuse, devote full energy to an important project, take a break from contraceptives, practice safe sex, or explore the relationship between spirituality and sexuality. Exercises based on yoga, kundalini, and chakra meditation -- along with a chapter on fertility cycles and conscious conception -- make this a practical guide to the power of celibacy, whether you are exploring on your own, with a partner, as a teener, or even as a family. Far from the stereotype of repressive sexual abstinence, Tantric celibacy moves beyond conventional sexuality, liberating and transforming our relationships while deepening and expanding the experience of Eros."
