Dear Abjeez,

I hear that you give wonderful advice. Well, I have a most uncommon challenge that simultaneosly baffles me into a great mystical oblivion and also confuses all the ladies. Ok here it is... I can't really have sex for less than two hours.

The problem lies here: it has been brought to be attention that American woman can't handle such hardcore great times. This makes me wonder about the lack of religious conviction, since for me, religion enhances the mambo experience.

Well well Abjeez, the bottom line is, that woman seem to be afraid of exploring the lunar limits of orgasm. I don't know how to tame this religious beast!? What do you think needs to happen? Should I trade in Samarkand and Bukhara for that mole, Hafez-style?

Abjeez, dispel your wonderful advice upon my ancient eyes!

Dear Mr. Persian Potion:

Thank you for your...errr...shall we say..."original" letter. From your description of your physical prowess, you seem to us to be a follower of the tantric sex movement, recently popularized in the West by celebrities such as Sting and Madonna.

Tantric sex is actually a very old and not so uncommon practice that consists of sexual practices derived from the "Tantra", or Tantrism, a many branched religious and cultural movement. Its principles are embodied in the "Tantras", sacred scriptures that embrace bodily pleasure as a way to achieve bliss.

Tantric sex is concerned less with achieving union with the Divine, and more with earthly goals such as opening up to higher levels of pleasure, becoming more in tune with the interconnectedness of your and your lover's energies, and (for men) achieving multiple orgasms without ejaculation. As self-styled "Tantric sex experts" Charles and Caroline Muir put it, tantric sex is "the art of conscious loving."

Sex is an important part of Tantra. In fact, sexual intercourse, or maithun, is one of the five elements that make up the central tantric ritual of the "Five M's": Madya (wine), Matsya (fish), M (meat), Mudr (parched grain) and Maithun (sexual intercourse). The maithun rite is a sacred procedure that can consist of just as many hours of ceremonial preparation as those of actual intercourse, which is often just as formal as the preparation. Perhaps that explains why the sexual act takes you 2 to 3 hours. The act of sex is very symbolic, as partners embrace not as mortals, but as manifestations of the God (Shiva) and Goddess (Shakti). Tantric sex is very open and loving. There is delight, since the whole object is to generate bliss through physical means.

Tantric sex was injected into our collective unconscious during the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, when all things sexual and exotic were in vogue. Today, many high profile celebrities like the above-mentioned Sting and Madonna boast of their physical prowess due to their adherence to Tantric principles. So why not teach your intimate partners so that they can keep up with you and enjoy a longer and more pleasing sexual experience?

If you are a dedicated tika with years of study and practice, and you are skilled in such things as activating the seven chakras, awakening the kundalin "hakti", employing mudr (symbolic hand gestures) and meditation, then you might be able to achieve enlightenment through the ritual sex practices of Tantra. If, however, you learned tantric sex through a book, instructional video or a weekend intensive in Hawaii, then you will probably not achieve enlightenment. However, you may enjoy a more blissful union with your lover.

We hope this has been helpful to you.

Best regards,

Abjee Pari and Abjee Fotti
