Publisher's Synopsis
The sexual revolution of the late 20th century did not produce more love. Barry Long explains why and shows us how to restore the missing link - the quality of love that all women long for and most men ignore. He overturns the idol of sex and introduces a way of lovemaking that allows the finer energies of passion to arise. He explains where men go wrong and why sexual problems occur. He identifies the errors women sometimes make and encourages both partners to rediscover the lost romance of love. Barry Long is not concerned with sexual techniques or controlling the orgasm - in contrast to other contemporary tantric teachings. His purpose is to awaken a profound awareness of the mystery of love and produce a genuinely divine union. This is not done with quick-fix tips or sexual gymnastics. For the man and woman to be truly united a couple must bringing honesty and truth into their whole life and partnership. The appetite for sex is too strong. Somewhere in the sex the love gets lost. Everything is done to cover up the loss and provide substitutes for the love. But Barry Long's teaching is changing all that in the lives of significant numbers of people. They are turning back time to rediscover the secret of making love as if there's no tomorrow and no yesterday. And when the woman knows she is truly loved by the man they are both fulfilled. For many thousands of people the Making Love tapes and the book of the same name have been life-changing. They have rescued relationships, and broken them. They have caused both outrage and uncontained enthusiasm. They have drawn people across continents and oceans to hear Barry Long speak at seminars. As a consequence, he is better known for this aspect of his work than any other. But this is not surprising. The yearning to love and be loved is so often frustrated and so much unhappiness flows from sexual hurts and disappointments. What Barry Long has done is contribute to the rescue of love from the greed and selfishness that has buried it.
