It strips away the inhibitions and frees a person from self-consciousness leaving only the breath and the mindbody.

How does breath play enhance orgasm?  Lecture topics How couples can safely introduce EA into their intimate erotic lives Finding the breath Developing trust The anatomy of the neck The techniques used to induce altered states How to use breath play to heighten climax.
