One of the challenging aspects of practicing a Art which in this day and age is not openly embraced is how to communicate effectively, with respect for our common social system and still honoring the Integrity of Spirit.

In the Tantra world we speak about Sacred spot (for both men and women), and Amrita.  We talk about life force activation, and Kundalini movement. All beautiful and amazing pieces of the Sacred whole.

In the same vein I could talk the Prostate and G Spot, female ejaculation. Bio-electric energy, and subtle energetic body currents. These feel slightly more academic and scientific however I am speaking about similar physical, and energetic structures.

Why is it that we choose one set of words over another? Why does society have less charge around some words and more charge around the direct “slag” terminology of our sexual bodies?

For the last 6 years I have been dancing in this question, it is one that fascinates and frustrates me.  If I could only say what people understand. Our common language does not necessarily include Hindu language references, or New Age energetic understanding. There is a reason why people who study ancient languages spend  years mastering the words of the ancients. There are subtle nuisances which defy casual understanding. Sanskrit is a ancient and beautiful language.

In some ways the landscape of Sacred Sexuality is defined learning the vocabulary. How and in what context we are using the words to describe our physical connection.

A few days ago I was introduced to the word: Auparishtaka: from the Kama Sutra: the Art of Oral sexual dancing.

I continue to be amazed at the many different ways we can say something.

Sharing my wonder here with you.
