Urban Tantra
The Wolf
extremely useful
Urban Tantra is a wonderful introduction to Tantra for everyone - rural or urban, queer, straight, trans, cis, man, woman, disabled, and every ethnicity. It is a fair-minded, intelligent, modern take on the ancient tradition of Tantric sex, in which you use your mind and your lungs to expand your sexuality. The New Age aspects, like chakras and sex magic, may be hard to swallow, but it is fully worth it for the erotic awakening that Barbara Carrellas's Urban Tantra holds.
Eye-opening, comprehensive, inspirational, well-written.
Sometimes a touch New-Agey.

This book will blow your mind, and you will not look at sex or even breathing the same way again!
It 's written in an easy to understand style, and it's inclusive of all shades of gender expression.
None!

Fantastic - one of the best books on tantra out there, especially for folks who come from progressive sexuality perspectives. Read it!
Carrellas assumes a progressive sexuality and makes tantra widely accessible.
Hard to sit down and do the exercises - no matter how progressive, they sometimes feel silly.

Rather than providing a one-size-fits-all prescription for sexual bliss, this book encourages self-exploration on multiple levels, with the goal of creating greater sexual fulfillment and greater intimacy with both one's partner and oneself.
Accessible, informative, enlightening, a highly enjoyable read.
Philosophy and techniques may not appeal to everyone.

This book is an amazing guide that you can repeatedly learn from with each read. It is not as “woo woo” or “new age-y” as my partner feared (he started to read it after initially criticizing it!) It’s designed for all readers, regardless of sex, gender, sexuality, age, or relationship status. Anyone can practice Tantra with this guide. You can explore it yourself, or with a partner. It also covers a range of topics, such as group sex, healing, energy orgasms, and BDSM.
inclusive, well-written, friendly, good resources, easy to understand, good introduction.
is not as "traditional" as other tantra books.

Urban Tantra is an excellent guide to practicing tantra in the twenty-first century. This book will speak to people from all walks of life and give everyone something new and amazing to add to their sex routine. This is the kind of book you can read 100 times, and still come to new levels of understanding with each read.
