My boyfriend and I just got and started using a beautiful book: The Art of Sexual Ecstasy, by Margo Anand, "the most comprehensive and clearly written work on contemporary Tantric sex, an exceptional detailed program for both the beginner and the advanced practitioner." We also find it exceptionally comprehensive and well-written.
Hee hee yes, time to seriously embrace love-making as the highest spiritual practice that it is, a direct path to body-mind-spirit ecstasy! The book starts with reminding us of the basics: that the key to loving someone else fully is to fully love oneself.
We are planning to make this book a wedding gift to all our friends who are getting married!!
I also book a book that was recommended to me by a Qigong master.
"The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity : A Modern Practical Guide to the Ancient Way" by Daniel Reid.
I didn't get it yet. This is not only about tantric sex, it covers other topics as well.

I've read a bit of The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity at the bookstore. It seems pretty good from what I've seen. The Taoists seem to view sexual energy as part of the overall energy systems in humans, and subject to regulation. However, I think some of the actual Taoist practices are still shrouded in some mystery. It is only recently that details have started coming out about what they really mean about practicing the "sexual arts".
