You write tantric erotica – how does that differ from 'regular' erotica?
‘Regular’ sex is typically based on friction, culminating in the release of sexual energy from the body through the peak orgasm: ejaculation in men, clitoral or vaginal orgasms in women. These peak orgasms usually last 5-10 seconds and are followed by relaxation or sleep. Tantric or Conscious sex, on the other hand, is aimed at conserving and increasing sexual energy (which is actually the same as life force) by circulating it through the entire body. As a result of this practice, it is possible to have sex for hours and a range of other orgasms, including the g-spot, valley, cervical, womb and full body orgasms, which may last up to 20 minutes.
Tantric Erotica – at least the way I see it – is erotica that focuses on circulating energy rather than aiming for that quick release. Tantric sex is often transforming – and tantric sex and erotica can be a way to consciously explore and work through sexual conditioning and ego patterns. Tantric erotica also has a spiritual component to it, in the divine play between masculine and feminine energies. At its best tantric erotica is able to transmit sexual energy – helping the reader connect to her or his own sexuality and inner life force.

When did you first start writing?
I have always loved writing, but it took me years and years to learn to trust enough to allow the stories to flow through me. Somewhere around 2010 stories began to flow through me more regularly. In the beginning I mostly wrote fictional spiritual short stories. Some time after I embarked on the tantric path of conscious sexuality, different stories started to find their way onto the computer screen. Spicy – explicit – erotic – stories. I am not sure how many people would pick ‘writer of erotica’ as their dream-career. I certainly never thought this would be the path I was heading down. Nonetheless, I am pretty sure there are worse (and a lot more boring) ways to spend your days… and it sure brings some extra inspiration into my bedroom… And hopefully into yours as well…
