As Making Love teachers and parents, we, Jasmin and Max Muzio, have found Diana Richardson’s and other books invaluable for integrating conscious sexuality into daily life.
These practical guides help deepen connection and bring mindfulness to relationships, turning intimacy into a natural, enriching part of everyday routines. We believe they can transform your relationships as they have ours. Here are our top recommendations.
This transformative practice increases sensitivity, revitalizes sexual vitality, and nurtures love, making sex a source of healing and spiritual union. Richardson guides couples through step-by-step techniques that prioritize coolness over heat, showing how slow, sustained, and soft penetration can create a shared state of meditation. With this approach, sex remains meaningful and fulfilling, sustaining joy and deep connection.
Tantric Sex for Men by Diana and Michael Richardson challenges the performance-driven mindset of modern male sexuality, shifting focus from goal-oriented sex to a more fulfilling, stress-free experience. In a world where men face constant pressure to perform, this approach invites relaxation and deeper connection. Through over 25 years of tantric practice, the authors reveal how semen retention boosts vitality and extends intimacy, while deep, sustained penetration strengthens relationships. Practical techniques for foreplay, position sequences, and overcoming premature ejaculation guide men to a more mindful, healing, and passionate sexual experience. This book transforms sex into a meditative, rejuvenating celebration that nurtures both partners.
The tradition of Tantra or Tantric Buddhism is known to have existed in India as early as the 5th century AD. In this all-time bestseller, using the contemporary idiom and his own unique blend of wisdom and humor, Osho talks about the mystical insights found in the ancient Tantric writings. He also explores many significant Tantric meditation techniques, demonstrating how they are as relevant to the modern-day seeker as they were to those in earlier times.
No matter how complex, obscure, or mystical the subject, Osho always brings his uniquely refreshing perspective—introducing the most difficult concepts to the widest possible audience with irreverent wit and thought-provoking inspiration.
In this comprehensive and practical guide, the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience. Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries, and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today. Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience. As Osho shows in these pages, it is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra—the very word means “technique”—is a set of powerful, transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of our daily lives.
Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

In an increasingly polarized world where trauma is often publicly renegotiated, our nervous systems are on high alert. From skyrocketing rates of depression and anxiety to physical illnesses such as autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders, many women today find themselves living out of alignment with their bodies.
Kimberly Johnson is a somatic practitioner, birth doula, and postpartum educator who specializes in helping women recover from all forms of trauma. In her work, she’s seen the same themes play out time and again. In a culture that prioritizes executive function and “mind over matter", many women are suffering from deeply unresolved pain that causes mental and physical stagnation and illness.
In Call of the Wild, Johnson offers an eye-opening look at this epidemic as well as an informative view of the human nervous system and how it responds to difficult events. From the “small t” traumas of getting ghosted, experiencing a fall-out with a close friend, or swerving to avoid a car accident to the “capital T” traumas of sexual assault, an upending natural disaster, or a life-threatening illness - Johnson explains how the nervous system both protects us from immediate harm and creates reverberations that ripple through a lifetime.
In this practical, empowering guide, Johnson shows readers how to metabolize these nervous system responses, allowing everyone to come home to their deepest, most intuitive and whole selves. Following her supportive advice, readers will learn how to move from wholeness, tapping into the innate wisdom of their senses, soothing frayed nerves and reconnecting with their “animal selves".
While we cannot cure the painful cultural rifts inflicting our society, there is a path forward - through our bodies.
