Neotantra & Its Frauds

An Op-Ed from Dāka Karuṇā ( दाक करुणा ) Say NO! to the Carnival Sideshows! I recently reviewed a number of retreat and workshop offerings for gay men. The events ranged from NakedMan in Australia to events in Europe and the U.K., to events in the USA, such as the Easton Mountain retreat center in New York State. Based on what I could discern from the images and galleries, the events are generally stereotypical and reinforce negative stereotypes of a subgroup of gay men. For the most part, the events and workshops attracted a majority of middle-aged men with a smattering of 30-somethings. Many of the gallery images showed physically mature men engaging in regressive behaviors, that is, they appeared to be revisiting childhood rather than developing mature patterns of behavior. Some examples include, water activities riding pink swan blow-up floats, body painting, drag-queen performances. Some of the so-called spiritual programs featured men holding other men, which...

Insights from Dāka Karuṇā दाक करुणा [caption id="attachment_282" align="aligncenter" width="507"] Hey! We're not gay! We're bicurious! Introduction Under most conditions, a man knows where he wants to be in terms of erotic love and sensuality; he may deny his orientation but he knows deep within what he wants. While I hesitate to teach that anyone is exclusively heterosexual or homosexual, neither do I want to acquiesce to the claims of some that they are perfectly bisexual. What does bother me, rather what irritates me to distraction are the men who come to me, having made important life-cycle decisions, and refer themselves as “bicurious.” I have noted in another article that male, human sexuality is a continuum, and noted that the exclusively male love is similarly very rare in terms of balanced homoeroticism. So, at about the midpoint in this linear representation, we have the fence-sitters, the bisexual, as they like to call themsel...

Welcome to the “What is NeoTantra” blog. A word of explanation on the title: It has little to do with the real person calling himself by the misleading moniker “Jason Tantra” but his example is so perfect for illustrating what I have to say on this blog that he and his “company” have earned the dubious distinction of being the paradigm of an insidious and harmful movement. That statement will be confirmed by real and true facts, as well as by Jason Tantra’s own statements, publications, and responses. I rely on my readers’ freedom of choice and good judgment to make their own decisions based on the Tantra 4 Gay Men Internet presence, Jason Tantra’s publications (YouTube and elsewhere), and his personal communications with the blogger and me.

An Explanation from Me to You WordPress has been focusing on generating paid subscriptions. That became obvious several months ago when they started sending out daily "sales" emails to otherwise free site operators. Almost daily I was receiving messages about how great it would be to have the options of a paid subscription, and almost daily I'd receive one of those, "Hurry! Time's running out!" sale annoucements from WordPress. Their sale scam was obvious: How can you have a special offer to save 20% on a paid plan every week? The real scam came when I did the math. You see, WordPress increased their fees for their paid subscriptions about a year ago, just when they started offering the 20% off sales. I wrote to them telling them that upping the price by 20% and then offering what amounted to 17% discount was dishonest. Then the problems started with my blogs. At first it was just routine access and then it got really serious when content starte...

Jason Tantra is Part of the Problem, Not a Remedy. The Gay and Bisexual Man has to be aware of and beware of the snake-oil salesmen who are selling sex services in the guise of an ancient and complete lifestyle. They are using their own neuroses and selling them as self-help; the only ones they are actually helping — and that’s questionable — are themselves. The Snake-Oil Couple. Duh! Jonathan a.k.a. Davey Wavey and Jason "Tantra". It’s not Tantra and it’s definitely not Homoerotic Tantra: Mascul-IN-Touch . Please don’t confuse the snake-oil salesmen like Johnathan X a.k.a. “Davey Wavey” and Jason Y a.k.a. Jason Tantra with the gay and bisexual men on the positive path to awakening and transformation I teach as Homoerotic Tantra :Mascul-IN-Touch , which is not sex-for-sale , but a turnkey program for awakening the divine masculine spirit and transcendence, a lifestyle transformation.   If he does not have a license to practice, he may be breaking the...
