Tantra Talks

Welcome to Tantra Talks, the ONLY tantra podcast rooted in lineage and served with sass. Our tantric insight is raw, real, and at times, raunchy! If you can navigate the minefield of F-bombs in every episode, you might just learn a thing or two! Our insight and advice are based on almost two decades of dedicated Vajrayana Tantra practice, and… we live with our Root Lama, Lama Tashi Dundrup of the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage. Join us every Thursday as Devi and Dr. Chris Erickson answer your questions about Tantra and holistic sexual healing, from the lens of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and Tibetan 5 Element Tantra. Too legit to quit!

We get this question a lot. Especially from men—and especially from those on the path of sexual Tantra: “Can I still watch porn if I’m cultivating semen retention or learning to separate orgasm from ejaculation?”

In Episode 6 of Tantra Talks, we dive deep into the real, nuanced answer to that question. Because it’s not as simple as “yes” or “no.” And it’s definitely not about shame.
