For many people sexual and romantic education is derived a great deal from television, movies, and, particularly for men, pornography. Objectification, one-sidedness, and unrealistic expectations take hold resulting in a loss of intimacy and connection. The movie, "Don Jon," written, directed, and starred in by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, addresses this dilemma, shining light on these views and exploring what it actually means to be intimate and express love.

The spirit of femininity is generous, graceful, nurturing, supportive, sensitive, intuitive, and oriented towards love and care. Despite all of these wonderful attributes, feminine energy, especially as it pertains to sexuality, has been suppressed, condemned, and vilified on a global scale for thousands of years. It is no wonder, then, that so often we associate shame, fear, and guilt with sex and sexuality. Through reawakening our feminine energy, we can learn to celebrate our femininity in all its forms and bring greater joy and intimacy into our lives and with ourselves.

Compassion for all beings is the foundation for all Tantric practice. The motivation to achieve enlightenment is born out of a desire to help others to awaken and to end the suffering for all beings.

Many traditions treat desire of all kinds, but sexual desire in particular, as negative, as something that must be suppressed. Desire is certainly complex.
