I personally have gone for up to six hours without coming OR losing my erection (sometimes going to half-mast). Every fibre of your being becomes one great big erogenous zone at that point, similar to what is felt in Dom- and sub-space.

Being a "soft" form of lovemaking, Tantric might at first seem to be the polar opposite of BDSM. However, the techniques do lend themselves very well to Shibari and BDSM play.

Shiatsu massage uses some of the same pressure points found in acupuncture. Often a Shiatsu artisan will apply focused pressure that causes temporary pain, followed immediately by a dramatic relaxation of the muscle group being worked on. Again, useful stuff to know.

There's tons of stuff on the web if you'd like to know more.
I'd love a list, if you have one handy, of the good ones. On every subject that has to do with Human Sexuality on google or wherever, I find 100 crap sites for every worthwhile one.
