Once
you’ve asked P, s/he knows you’re interested.
Allow P time to mentally "try that one on"
to see how it fits with or his/her inner voices and
psyche and that s/he may approach you.
At
the Club Tantra, we want everyone to have a good
experience. For your experience to be good, you must
make choices from your CENTER . If your Pleaser
subself chooses, your Inner Critic may later resent
you did and feel bad about the party. Honoring your NO
frees the way for the YES which comes from your
discerning center.
PRACTICE
SAFE SEX; SHARE SEXUAL HISTORY
Review
with your potential new sexual partner(s) sexual
history and tell them yours. Ask them about their
sexual history, who they’ve been with, what
precautions they took regarding sexually transmitted
diseases and contra-conception and ascertain who they
are and if you want to be vulnerable with them.
Many
people lie about sex. Sometimes people lie without
realizing they’re lying. Sometimes they’ve engaged
in sex with someone and it somehow doesn’t count
(like Bill Clinton with Monica). Some may not
"count" a sexual liaison if they were not in
love or it happened long ago. When in doubt protect
yourself. Wear condoms, use spermicide or have fun
with partners short of intercourse. Take personal
responsibility, assuming you cannot count on others,
but must rely on yourself. No protections is 100%
effective. There are no guarantees.
However
you may not chose to live your life guided by fear.
Trust your inner guidance. Find the balance within
yourself, for you and your partner(s) and when you do,
go with what flows and have fun within your own
limitations and boundaries. Pray.
BOUNDARIES,
EXPECTATIONS, LIMITATIONS & DESIRES
We
encourage you to express your boundaries,
expectations, limits and desires fully during the
check-in and other sharing parts of the evening so you
can experience more love, bliss, fun and joy. The
keys: authenticity and candor. Look within. Experiment
consciously. Discover what you like. Find out and
express what excites, upsets, intrigues or bores you.
Set your boundaries and communicate them with others.
Make statements that begin with "I" and
express your emotions, thoughts, wants, needs and
limits without judgement or fear of others’
judgements. Club Tantra is a safe haven where you can
discover and develop your diverse playful, erotic and
romantic aspects, making choices right for you in the
moment. Fully feel, embrace and express all your
emotions; they show you you’re alive. Find your
sensual voice in an atmosphere that respects your
protective voices and let your sensual side soar, free
at last! Move outside of your box (self-imposed
restrictions) at any given moment while you
simultaneously take personal responsibility and create
a safe space for yourself and explore and discover who
you are. Clear avenues for honest communication.
Empower yourself. Actualize your full potential.
LUBES,
CONDOMS & OILS
Provide
your own prophylactic and contraceptive materials. Club
Tantra doesn’t provide any lubes, condoms, oils
or other protections from unwanted pregnancies or STD’s.
Be smart and protect yourself. Many people have
allergic reactions to condoms, lubes and oils, so
bring your own that you know work with your body.
Interview others about their preferences before
touching them. Ask permission before applying your
oils and lubes on another person. Wash frequently
during the evening, especially your hands. Bring your
own towel to sit on. Wash before and after you enter
the hot tub. Wash your hands and genitals between
sexual partners. Each individual has their own unique
ecology which may be incompatible with another’s and
mixing genital ecologies can cause yeast infections.
Be conscious and help us all play safe.
YOUR
HOSTS
Your
hosts, Xander and Kira, are highly-trained experts
ready to support you if you experience an emotional
reaction or have any questions and concerns. Ask them
privately if it’s something you don’t want to
share with the group. Or discuss your concerns in the
group, if you like; your concerns can be a powerful
exercise for everyone. Kira and Xander are tantric and
polyamorous; they may make love with each other or
lovers with whom they are in relationships during
these events. If you wish to date the Lessins, ask how
we can interview one another. Email them at CourtesanCouple@aol.com
