Episode Description

Shibari - the Art of Japanese Bondage has a long history, and has found its way into the kink and alternative art communities of the West. What is it exactly and what is its appeal to modern Westerners? Why are we discussing it on The Tantric Lounge? Because it is so Tantric in essence - it’s about deep connection, sensuality, beauty and poetry. Today we talk to Hebari, head teacher at the Rope Dojo in Sydney’s inner suburbs and curator of the Sydney Rope Festival. Listen and look at photos as he ties Jacqueline up during this episode...

Join renowned sex educator, therapist and coach, Jacqueline Hellyer, and her co-host Xavier Waterkeyn on the Tantric Lounge and discover the missing link to empowerment - your sexuality.

The Tantric Lounge is a space where sex is an art and sex is a science. It’s where sex, science and spirituality meet, and everything in between. In the Tantric Lounge you’ll explore the third wave of sexuality: beyond shame, beyond sleaze, heading towards true liberation. It’s sex for the seeker, for the explorer, for the thinker.

Jacqueline presents sex like no one else. She’s fascinating, funny and inspiring. Tune in to her wisdom and entertaining conversations with guest Sex Geeks from the leading edge of sexuality as they discuss everything to do with sex, love and intimacy.
