Inhale through your nose for a count of five, hold your breath for a count of five, exhale your breath for a count of five through your mouth; this breathing technique known as 5-5-5, Lori believed, would help her find her center and maybe chill the fuck out. She was nervous. Up to her old tricks, again, on that search for the elusive amazing orgasms. This time with someone that practices Tantra.
Lori first learned about Tantra from her first ever hotel date. Osiris was in his 70's, a successful business consultant, and a bit eccentric. His OKC ad mentioned three things that got Lori's attention: mindfulness, connection to the universe and the ability to please a goddess. This sounded amazing to Lori. "If Osiris can please goddesses, he shouldn't have any problems pleasing me," thought Lori.
This was back when Lori was working diligently to develop her meditation and mindfulness skills so Lori cued right in on the mindfulness part. And Lori knew that there was a magical spiritual state she entered after amazing orgasms and that's what she wanted. She wanted to harness those amazing orgasms and commune with the universe.
Lori had no hesitations contacting Osiris even though his photos were impossible to discern what the man looked like and she was undeterred by his claiming to be at Woodstock. From experience, Lori knew there was much to be gained from an older lover. She sent her message to him and heard back within a couple of hours.
They talked on the phone during her commute drive home after work and made plans for her first ever hotel date the very next night. Osiris promised 8 hours with her. They messaged each other all night. This was at the beginning of Lori's newly resurrected sex life and she needed to purge her sex story before seeing Osiris. She felt he needed to know where she was coming from which was basically horny as all get out, eager and unpracticed.
Lori stopped by Whole Foods on the way to the hotel. She bought some cut fruit, granola bars, nuts and water for their date. She also bought lube for the very first time. First hotel date, first time to buy lube, so many firsts. Lori wore a cute dress and it was probably the hottest day of the year. Another cool thing about spending 8 hours in a hotel room? Air conditioning! Yes. She was nervous but was honestly more excited than nervous. They met at the door to the room.
"You must be Osiris," proclaimed Lori.
And he responded with, "You must be Lori."
Lori was also wearing her goofy grin and was swaying her hips back and forth. She was so excited. It didn't bother her at all that Osiris was a really old man in his 70's or that he was maybe an inch or two shorter than she was. He said he had the ability to satisfy goddesses and Lori had faith and an idiotic blind trust. They entered the room and laid down on the bed and talked for a bit at first.
During this time, Osiris went over the basics of Tantra with Lori. "Intention, mindfulness and connection to your partner are key," he said. "Truly believe that the lover before you is a gift from the universe. Use your time together preciously. Connect with the person by looking into their eyes. By being open to hearing about what is pleasing to them and to share what is pleasing to you. Feedback is a gift. If she says, please go up higher on my clit or pinch my nipples, this is not a criticism of your action, it is an expression of her desire. And you need to share what works and doesn't work for you as well."
Mmm, he talked about nipple pinching and clit rubbing. Lori remembered writing him a list of likes. Nipple play was always high on her list and she loved fingers on her clit and in her pussy.
Osiris continued, "Truly believe that the lover before you is the perfect version of themselves at this time and place in their lives. This helps you avoid focusing on the negative (his cock is too short, her butt is too big) and instead you take delight in the things you find pleasing (his eyes are deep pools of root beer, her enthusiasm is infectious)."
"I can do this!" thought Lori. "Osiris is my gift and he is articulate. He has so much experience. His eyes are pretty light blue globes. He is crazy smart. She could learn so much from him."
They began with some simple mindfulness/breathing exercises by taking 10 deep breaths.
They agreed to slow down, take their time and be in the moment by thinking about what they were experiencing and what experiences they were giving.
