Tantra in the Workplace

Sex is usually banned in the workplace, but not everyone thinks that's a good idea.

DON'T ban sex in the workplace - encourage it. That's the provocative suggestion from Barbara Carrellas, author of the just-out "Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-first Century."

She writes: "A law saying 'sexual expression of any kind is inappropriate in the workplace' sets that workplace up for rampant inappropriate displays of sexual expression. Instead of a ban . . . I'd like to see workplace seminars on the conscious use of sex in business."

Carrellas adds that "conscious use of sexual energy" not only helps people be more effective on the job; it also makes the job much more pleasurable."

She suggests: "On your way to work tomorrow . . . do some circular breathing and start an erotic fantasy to get your sexual energy running. [Move] that energy up your body, out your heart center, and into your day. You can even imagine it landing on your boss' desk and coming back to you in the form of a raise. A few moments of sex magic on your way to work can help make your highest hopes a reality."--New York Post
