Have you ever wondered how famous tantric lovers could make love for hours and sometimes days? Being trained in the arts of ejaculation choice, full body orgasm, and other techniques is only part of what it takes to enjoy long lovemaking sessions.

Traveling through the sensual terrain of delicious and repeated orgasmic peaks and valleys requires an awareness of many practical details. Making love for hours or days includes periods of rest, refreshment, and nourishment. To enhance the entire lovemaking experience, one chooses foods that support and become a part of sensual activities.

Picnics are fun, delicious and enjoyable dining experiences. Why not have a picnic in bed? Like any other picnic, carefully prepare all of your food and drinks ahead of time. Contrary to popular belief, heavy meals and strong alcoholic beverages are not conducive to long-term lovemaking. Too many of those things can make you feel lazy, numb your senses and put you to sleep. The goal of a sensual experience is to be present, aware, and awake.

One of my favorite bedtime picnic memories was in Hawaii on a blustery night listening to the waves wash up on the beach from our window. The atmosphere was soft yet seductive with candles and sweet-smelling plumeria by our bed. My beloved came in naked with a plate of sushi, dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts and slices of ripe pineapple. She set the plate at the foot of the bed and proceeded to take a slice of ahi into her mouth and crawled on all fours from my feet to my lingham, stopping to tickle me, and slid to my lips to deposit my first bite. . (Did I mention virgin coconut oil as a lubricant?). I was filled that night with much more than my picnic.

Washing and slicing bowls and plates of beautifully prepared food, including fresh fruits and vegetables, is easy and fun to feed your lover. Try some fresh dill with sauce or crabmeat, ginger chews, whipped cream with strawberries, or raw cocoa. Take your time and savor every delicious moment. Smell, taste, feel the textures of the food, the skin and the lips of your lovers. The little one on the back can also be a great dish to serve any culinary delicacy…
