Good book for people who don't want to become yoga masters or heavily into it is, The New Tantra, Simple and Sexy

My wife's friend bought me Sextasy by Caroline Aldred. Not the most exhaustive book, but does cover a lot of the basics and is easy to read (most tantic books are kinda out-there looney).

A practice like tantra will only help you to the extent that you're already tuned into your own body. Exercise, yoga, martial arts, whatever you're already doing has the potential to kick your sexual awareness to the next level if you come at it with the right mindset.

I'm not claiming any special expertise here, but looking at your sexuality as part of a larger context of body/energy work can be very rewarding. And it helps if the guy is into it too. But it can be a trap to get too much into the whole "sensitive new age guy" thing. What I've found is that women need the man to be masculine and aggressive in order to help them find that place.

There is a painting that I am particularly fond of. It's by an artist named Alex Grey and the title is "Copulating". It features a man and woman making love with lines of astral energy flowing out in all directions, and he puts the Hindu "Shri Yantra" symbol in the middle, between them. If you understand what it means, it's a very powerful image. You can find it if you go into Google image search and look around for it.
