The Man as IT System Analogy

Think of it this way: We men come equipped with hardware and software. A man has a body (hardware) and mind and spirit (software). He also has peripheral devices and input/output ports. The sensory organs are the peripheral devices there are the input/output ports.

If you compare yourself to an IT system or to a smartphone, you’ll have to admit that you don’t know a lot about how to use all the features and apps, so you can’t use the device to its fullest potential or enjoy all the bells and whistles it has hidden in its circuitry. You’ll have to experiment, research, troubleshoot if you want to improve performance, won’t you?

Very often, you’ll need an expert IT technician or engineer to show or teach you the finer points of your hardware and software to get the best performance for your efforts. Similarly, in Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ you have an “IT” expert to guide you to a top performance experience; he’s called your Daka.

Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ and the Tāntric IT System

Well, that’s where homoerotic yogic Tantra and the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs come into this analogy. You have the hardware but chances are you don’t know a lot about it. You also have the software and the apps but really don’t know how to get them to work ideally with the hardware, or even what magic it can do once it’s up and running, and operated expertly. You have a sophisticated OS (operating system) but you need an efficient UI (user interface) in order to coordinate all of the inputs and responses.

Human beings have many buttons to push and they frequently run on macros. When someone pushes this button, why do I respond in a certain way? Plug in here and what happens? Why? How? How do you create a macro for your body app and how do you run it? What key sequence or key combination elicits which response?

Tāntric IT: “Intimacy Technology”

Im using a well-known acronym, IT, but you probably have misunderstood it to mean “information technology,” but you’d be wrong. In homoerotic yogic Tantra jargon, “IT” means “Intimacy Technology,” and it’s here that we refine our understanding of the term, “technology.” Technology is defined as the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes; it is used to solve problems, improve human life, and to interface and innovate across the full range  of human experience from the senses, to eros, love and relationship, anatomy and physiology, philosophy, ritual, spirituality, etc. When you consider your homoerotic yogic Tantra journey in these terms, it might become a little clearer why the intense and extensive learning involved in the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and the Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs is so essential, why learning the technical jargon makes it possible to talk intelligently with other “system” users, why studying the modules is comparable to reading the manual or user’s guide, why knowing all the features, special functions, and stepped routines is so important if you want to become proficient in Masculine Intimacy Technology, “MIT.”

If you stop for a moment and step back from the radically unfamiliar of Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠, and just think of the entire process in terms of the hardware and software analogy, you will be better able to get your arms around an otherwise elusive and complex system, and find it much easier to understand and appreciate its complexity and versatility. It’s not all that foreign or exotic when you think of it in familiar terms, is it? And no special equipment is required.

The Difference is Outreaching vs. Inreaching

A. The Anti-social Media and Outreaching

The single most important difference that we all must understand about cyber IT and one of its most widespread applications, social media, is that it is all about outreaching. This means that almost everything produced by IT and application of IT, and significantly by social media is focused outwards, externally, away from the operator, away from a man’s inner self while it taps, and sometimes exhausts his core energies. Moreover, the whole process of outreaching moves the man farther away from his inner self, estranging him from himself, and further distances him from his essential nature. Again, figuratively, he exiles himself into a desert of algorithms, AI, and cyber-relationships, none of which give him any real sense of value, belonging, or even reality. The road back to himself and his core being is very long and hazardous; a man may never make it back if he’s become addicted to cyber relationships.

B.   The Intimacy Media and Inreaching

Inreaching starts with the man himself reacquainting himself with his Self. It starts with self-examination, reflection, carefully and honestly approaching the question of Who am I? Or better still, What am I? That’s not a question that he can answer in one sitting or without some serious work. In fact, a man may have to make the trip back to himself from somewhere ‘out there,’ before he can even start to ask those questions.

C. Proportionality and Synergy of Outreaching and Inreaching

A man must first know and appreciate himself before he can even hope to know and appreciate another man. He must then have some solid values and goals because he can’t discern the gems from the junk if he doesn’t have a way to tell the difference, and if he doesn’t have values he certainly can’t have goals.

In order to function healthfully, outreaching and inreaching must obey a certain rule of proportionality and operate in a sort of synergy, if a man’s triadic (erotosensual, physical, and psychospiritual; awareness, realization, union, etc.) goals are to be attained. In other words, outreaching must cooperate with inreaching with the aim of achieving a synergy for attaining the triadic goals.

The Obstacles Challenging Progress

I could start off this section with a discussion of the common kleśa-s like greed, pride, anger, etc. but we dive deeply into the kleśa-s elsewhere in our studies.[1] Let’s just agree that ignorance or “unknowing” is the parent of all other obstacles.

I’ve already mentioned the obstacle of cyber IT being used solely for outreaching, particularly in interpersonal relationships. Another obstacle is failing to understand how social media can be addicting — called cyber relationship addiction, a behavioral addiction defined by compulsive involvement in online relationships substituting for or replacing real-life connections, and facilitated by the anonymity and ease of self-disclosure online, or the creation of fictitious identities that can evolve into intense emotional, romantic, or sexual engagement that replaces in-the-flesh interactions. This behavioral flaw is being weaponized by promoters of anti-human agendas focused on replacing embodied divinity  with cypher consumers. The decline of critical thinking certainly doesn’t help because humanity is confused by the onslaught of Information Overload and distracted by mixed messages, while questioning every post and image asking: Is it real or fake? Is it true or false? Is it AI? All of this creates a devastating anxiety in a human being; frustration and depression follow, resulting in total paralysis physically, mentally, and spiritually. Job done! A man becomes a cypher.

Sensuality Starvation

Most men are sensually starved. You may have read “sexually” but the word is “sensually.” Gotcha!

Sensual starvation comes from indoctrination by a toxic culture and society that feeds a man stereotypes, social scripts, and ideologies and agendas that are designed to separate him from his true nature and create a cypher — there’s that word again — that is controllable. Sensually starved also includes a deficit in emotional intelligence, psychospiritual confusion — think for example of gender and body dysphoria — his self-concept is not himself but a fiction; the two, his personal true self and his social false-self (ego, persona), are at odds with each other.

Two methods we use in homoerotic yogic Tantra for self-awareness and acceptance are mirror meditation[2] and expressive writing, which may be practiced separately or together. There are many other methods but these two are the simplest in the beginning.

Two of the unfortunate consequences of excessive outreaching and toxic cultural conditioning are gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia. Dysphoria and dysmorphia refer to two different psychological experiences that are often confused but have distinct causes and approaches to deal with them. Both experiences can cause significant distress and it is beneficial to understand what they are and seek support if you are afflicted by them. We commonly refer to “gender dysphoria” which centers on gender identity and the discord between a person’s subjective sense of gender and his objective physical (biological or genetic) gender. Body dysmorphia, on the other hand, is a psychological condition of distorted perception of one’s physical appearance, and characterized by a preoccupation — sometimes intense or debilitating — with perceived flaws in physical appearance that may be minor or invisible to others. Body dysmorphia may cause distress, obsessive behaviors (mirror checking, grooming, camouflaging), and social impairment.[3]

Honestly, many men come to Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ because of some form of dysphoria or dysmorphia and walk away “cured,” even though homoerotic yogic Tantra is not a therapy routine and is not intended to be therapy in the conventional sense. Religion, for example, may heal or cure a great many psychospiritual wounds but it is never presented as a therapy. Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ is neither religion nor therapy but it often heals. It’s important to understand that point.

Interconnectedness and Interconnectivity

In principle, the concepts of interconnectedness and interconnectivity are as old as humankind itself. Most of society is built upon some adaptation of these concepts. Most every religion or spiritual discipline teaches some version of these two concepts. Modern agendas and ideologies like environmentalism and DEI promote some adaptation of interconnectedness and interconnectivity.

Basically, interconnectedness is deeply rooted in the principle of dependent origination or chain of causation (pratītyasamutpāda, प्रतीत्यसमुत्पाद[4]) and signifies that all life and phenomena exist only in relation to one another, with nothing existing in isolation. It implies a web of mutual interdependence, where every being, sensate and insensate, helps sustain the whole. This concept emphasizes that our actions have widespread effects on others and the environment, and that we must live according to that understanding with the aim of benefitting all creatures, that is, by helping them to overcome suffering.

Interbeing, interconnectedness, interconnectivity are important doctrines in some religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions. Some traditions in Buddhism place great emphasis on the interconnevtdness of all sentient beings, to the point that a practitioner is called upon, even required to share merit to relieve all sentient beings of their suffering. While such grand intentions are not central to homoerotic yogic Tantra, they play an important role in our overall personal and social ethical structures.

Unlike interconnectedness, the concept of interconnectivity doesn’t have much of an ancient pedigree, and is a more modern adaptation of the concept of interconnectedness.

A.                Interconnectivity

Interconnectivity is the state of being linked together, referring to a direct, private, and secure connection between disparate networks, systems, or devices. It enables seamless communication, information exchange, and improved performance by bypassing the public pathways or Internet. While interconnectivity has always been around in some form or another, it has become crucial for modern IT ecosystems. Its core benefits include lower latency,[5] increased reliability, and enhanced security for relational or transactional operations. Sound familiar?

The Yoga of Interconnectedness

Obviously, human beings like interconnectedness. That’s why clans and tribes formed in prehistoric times. Cities grew because human beings recognized the value and importance of interconnectedness. Today, all you have to do is think social media: the most perverse form of misguided interconnectedness.[6] Environmentalists and religious institutions have picked up on ancient doctrines of interconnectedness.

Just as IT technology appears as computers which come in desktop, laptop, tablet, and handheld varieties for receiving, processing, and communicating information, the analogy again extends to human beings, men, who come in a wide variety of types and functionality ranges and applications. The external appearance and assembly may be different but the inside workings are pretty identical; components and functionality has to be compatible, otherwise the entire concept falls apart. Think about that for a moment and consider how the concept applies to human relationship and connectivity.

Tantra openly admits the physical focus of tantric practices and the importance of clear sensual perceptions. As daka, I provide my śiṣya (Tantric student) or Tantric Warrior Lover with physical connectedness primarily through touch. The physical sense of touch creates the emotion of being in sync with something transcendent. As you learned or will learn, a practitioner of HYT doesn’t need physical contact with another man to receive all of the benefits of erotophysical touch. This is the essence of the mit1sm program. In fact, you will learn to “embrace” and “arouse” yourself, using your own hands and knowledge. You learn to connect with others through erotophysical self-touch and intimacy, we can do the same for others on the same network.

What’s the Point?

This discussion has become a bit complex and at first blush it may not appear to have very many clear segues. If that’s the impression so far, I apologize. Sometimes I just go on as if all of my readers are advanced HYT students and can follow the logic with no speed bumps. Let me connect all of this for you.

I’m going to risk introducing another term to round things off: empathy. Empathy can be developed only if a man is aware of and understands himself. Empathy is essential to establishing and maintaining an erotosensual and psychospiritual healthy relationship. There are three approaches for enhancing empathy: self­-introspection and the use of an intimate friend for self-reflection, associating with like-minded men, and engaging with communities of men who are training in or practicing erotosensual or psychospiritual emotional sensitivity. True generosity or selflessness, doing something without expectation of acknowledgement or reward, and empathy are two human qualities we develop for improving intimacy in erotosensual and psychospiritual relationship and social relationships. Communication skills without the three approaches and guided by the two qualities will be ineffectual. Remember outreaching and inreaching, proportionality and synergy, you’ve just learned the results.

In addition, there are two basic tendencies in every man; the first one inspires the desire for relationship and intimacy, and the other nudges him towards solitude and isolation. These two tendencies are not mutually exclusive but complementary — just as the tantric principles of the Cosmic Masculine and the Cosmic Feminine are fundamental to the Divine Masculine Spirit —- the unified man has managed to incorporate the two tendencies in a healthy proportion. A proportioned orientation, rather than exaggerated social or self-centered orientation, allows one to appreciate the other’s perspective as being valuable for attaining one’s own stage of realization. This results ultimately in the development of a tantric yogic interaction and engagement.

I’ve wandered away from the original topic of man viewed as an IT system but not very far. You may not fully see how it all connects but give yourself time; you’ll enjoy the Aha! Moment. Don’t rush. Stay in the moment. Stay oriented. Be patient. Just let it all happen and let’s let it happen together. Namasté!

Notes

[1] If you’re not a practitioner or unfamiliar with Sanatanadharma or dharmic disciplines, just think of the kleśa-s as being mental states that cloud the mind and manifest in unwholesome actions. Some states of mind that are examples of kleśa-s are anxiety, fear, anger, jealousy, desire, etc. A guiding principle of Sanatanadharma or dharmic living is that the whole world around us has been conceived as part and parcel of the Divine. Hence, every aspect of creation must be viewed as having great and noble qualities. Such an approach to creation empowers a man to discern the essential values of interconnectedness from nature and to draw lessons of dharma from every creature, sensate or insensate, around him.

[2] I’ve taken a bit of author license here because mirror meditation is not true meditation; it’s more mirror reflection or mirror contemplation. I like the alliteration of “mirror meditation,” and tried to avoid the quaint and confusion “mirror reflection,” while “mirror contemplation” doesn’t do much for me. The important point is that you understand I’m not trying to pass it off as some neo-meditation technique.

[3] I mention these two conditions because they are so common and understanding both dysphoria and dysmorphia will help you to recognize them and how to avoid their adverse effects or seek support. Again, think of social media and how you are constantly assailed with airbrushed or AI depictions of ‘perfect’ men or models of masculinity but how rarely “real” men are depicted in a positive sense. Most “real” men appear ordinary, even unattractive because the standard being applied is the “unreal” model masculinity of social media. Another problem is that many of the selfies and self-depictions are actually examples of the outreaching I describe above.

[4] A compound formed from the Sanskrit word pratītya (प्रतीत्य) meaning ‘dependent on’ or ‘based on,’ and samutpāda (समुत्पाद), meaning ‘origin,’ ‘cause,’ ‘production.’ Literally, ‘based on a cause.’

[5] Latency is a term we use connote a situation in which erotosensual or psychospiritual impulses can be repressed or sublimated into social, intellectual, spiritual, or athletic pursuits; in behavioral psychology, “response latency” refers to the delay between a stimulus and a response, and it is often used to assess mental processing speed, decision-making, or time lapsing between a stimulus and a behavioral response.

[6] I do not wish to be misunderstood, since I use social media as an important vehicle to carry my message out to my followers. But the major difference is obvious between using social media as a vehicle to enhance delivery of a message and the perversion of using social media as a substitute for human relationship. When a human being becomes addicted to sitting in front of a computer screen or gazing for hours into a handheld device rather than exploring and experiencing real physical, psychological, and spiritual connection with another human being, that is where the perversion begins.

I am pleased to announce that Part I of my 2-part series on the labels, stereotypes, and men’s health and well-being is now LIVE on Health Web Magazine. It’s a very straightforward, informative discussion of this rarely discussed and little-understood component of male well-being and identity.

It’s fair to say that every human being in history has experienced some form of labeling: Heteroerotic vs Homoerotic, Spirit vs Body, Democrat vs Republican, Vaccinated vs Unvaccinated. It seems that humankind loves to give loud lip-service to unity but has an illicit love affair with separateness. It’s the dark side of humanity.

Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ and the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and Mascul-IN-Timacy℠  programs are for men who love men but the concept goes much deeper than the misguided notion that all Tantra is, is about physical gratification. And while it is true that in homoerotic yogic Tantra we do teach that the senses, particularly that erotosensual exploitation of the senses is an important portal to self-awareness, growth, transformation, and transcendence, erotosensuality is much more expansive and inclusive than the limited understanding most men have thanks to the confused and misguided offerings of New Age exotic sex in pay-to-play events.

We are entering one of the most spiritual and physically pleasurable times of the year. Springtime is a time when we feel new energies. We awaken from the dark, cold, sluggishness of the winter months and the short days into light, warmth, life. We experience a feeling of vitality, vibrancy, energy, and openness. Our mood is elevated and we feel more liberated.

There’s just something awesome about longer days, sunshine, and just getting out into nature’s exploding splendor.[1]

Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ is not just about erotosensuality and spirituality we experience in masculine intimacy and the practices and rituals of Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ with the Tāntric Warrior-Lover; our tāntric lifestyle would be very confined if we were to limit it to modules, practices, and rituals, and we’d be missing the greater tāntric experience, since Tantra teaches that a man is a microcosm reflection of the macrocosm, and it’s that basic concept that provides us with our “yogic” experience, which is the concept of union and unity with Creation. Yogic tantra teaches the discipline of the body, mind, and spirit so that we can truly appreciate and participate in all of Creation.

With that introduction, I would also like to emphasize that as men, we are social creatures and cannot truly exist as hermits or renunciants; we need other men for companionship, sharing, support, and loving, all of which are best practiced in a place of beauty, life, spirit, and connectedness. I’m talking now about that vast holy place, nature and the outdoors.

During the wintry months we are confined and constrained to practice indoors, occasionally taking some practices outdoors but physical conditions do not allow us to practice maximum physical or mental freedom, and frostbite can become a distraction. Not a good idea.

But now, Nature is extending the invitation to leave the indoor sacred space to explore and to enjoy the gifts of Spring, Summer, and Autumn in the open, outdoors sacred space. We are entering a very auspicious time when the opportunities are practically limitless. What better time to practice Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ with our tāntric Warrior-Lover companions in the beautiful environment of the Catskill and Adirondack mountains of New York State? Or the beauty of vernal Vermont? Or the wilderness of Northern New York and Southern Canada?

There is nothing in homoerotic yogic Tantra that teaches denial or renunciation of what is good and pure, of what is beautiful and wholesome, of what is offered as a divine gift and for us to enjoy. The homoerotic yogic Tantra Warrior-Lover is all of that and if you accept that you and he and our other companions and Beloveds are microcosm reflections of the macrocosm, beings that contain the entire universe in beautiful, divine masculine packages, then we must also accept that we are one with Nature and that Nature is one of our Beloveds.

So, with that thought in mind, we will once again enter what we call in Tantric Sanskrit madhumāsa (मधुमास), springtime, and grīṣmakāla (ग्रीष्मकाल), summertime, seasons for casting off the coverings and enjoying all that Nature provides. As we have done in the past, we gather in small and larger groups to be tāntric, to be Warrior-Lovers, to become one with our own inner nature and the outer nature surrounding us. It’s a time for caresses and sensory bliss, letting the sunshine penetrate us and the waters wash over us, to explore ancient forests and to hear the poetry of nature’s sounds in the bird calls, the babbling mountain stream, the wind in the trees, the crackling of a campfire, the breath of the Warrior-Lover.

It’s springtime and soon to be summertime. It’s an ecstatic festival of homoerotic yogic Tantra! It’s time for homoerotic yogic Tantra detox!

Notes:

[1] I don’t mean to downplay the beauty of the Winter months. As a Northeasterner, I have always loved the mountains, the snow, winter landscapes, and winter activities. I treasure the four distinct seasons, and am grateful for the unique experiences and opportunities each of them brings. One of the joys of life and living is to be able to enjoy nature and creation in each of its seasonal manifestations.

In response to insights provided by participants in both the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and the Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs, and suggestions made by participants our “test rides,” I am offering a new option for couples and partners: the pMascul-IN-Touch℠ and  pMascul-IN-Timacy℠.[1]

There have been and are situations in which one man in a couple or one partner in a relationship signs up for a program and does his very best to share his learning experience and transformation with his other half, who is not a registered, or both partners register separately, although they are in a relationship, one “item,” so to speak.

That was how it worked in the past: the two men in a relationship registered separately. It worked well but was it really fair?

The fact is, there was no way for me to know that any two registered śiṣyas we in a relationship or partners, since they registered separately and did not make the fact known when registering. Our Code of Ethics and confidentiality prevented me from asking the question. So, unless a registrant came forth an told me he and his partner were registering, I would have no way of knowing, and I would not be able to offer a special option for them.

I recently revised an article I had written some time ago on legendary homoerotic couples, epic Warrior-Lovers in which I mention such couples as Gilgamesh and Enkidu, Bacchus and Sergius, and particularly the homoerotic Warrior-Lovers, Achilles and Patroclus. There are so many such examples in literature, scripture (in the Judeo-Christian First Testament, there are David and Jonathan, for example), and in legend. There are literally millions of modern day homoerotic Warrior-Lovers, as we all know.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

So, by revising that article I was led to reflect on Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ and couples, partners in relationship, and raised the important question of why I did not have a couples program option already? Why I did not publish a dual registration option for homoerotic Warrior-Lover couples? There was only one reasonable and fair response: I needed to offer one and as soon as possible.

Starting in 2025 Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ will be offering a couples registration option in Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs and I will publish the option on our Internet pages with immediate effect. Two men registering together will receive a reduced suggested donation and will receive ALL program benefits.

Think of it this way:

• Any program that claims to have as its main purpose the wellbeing of men should be available to as many men as possible. Any obstacles must be removed.[2]
• We are Warriors; no man is left behind. In that spirit, Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ has, since the beginning, offered men, who are financially stressed, the opportunity to join the community and participate in the programs under a “scholarship” option. It’s the man not the money that matters.[3]
• I believe that homoerotic yogic Tantra should, if possible, be shared, especially if a śiṣya has a regular partner or is in a devoted relationship.[4]
• I believe that if two men come together to practice homoerotic yogic Tantra, as companions, they should benefit from a partners option as well.
• The practices, sessions, rituals, resources, guidance will be more effective if they are shared and lived mutually.
• Even though no one has ever been turned away because of financial challenges, and in some cases, invited to participate or continue studies under a “scholarship,” for couples whose finances may not be strained but are limited, a couples option would be easier to manage, and both Warrior-Lovers will benefit from the programs.
• Shared benefit is double benefit; couples should be able to join the homoerotic yogic Tantra community as an “item.”
• Because of the diversity, versatility, and nature of the homoerotic yogic Tantra practices, exercises, and rituals, they will enrich and enhance any relationship as it evolves over time, energizing and refreshing, transforming partners and their relationship. The physical, emotional, mystical, and spiritual components of couples homoerotic yogic Tantra enrich, enhance, and reinforce the relationship.
• As a relationship evolves and matures the men naturally navigate the inevitable moments of stormy seas. The shared interest, spirituality, and philosophy, and the availability of a dāka and mentor as a guide and mediator will help calm the waters and clear the storm clouds.
• A couples option is just fair; it’s that simple.

Of course, there are as many reasons in favor of couples practice as there are couples, but the point is clear.

Please do not put off joining the Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ community and the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs because you are in a relationship. That would be just one more important reason why you should join the saṅgha of like-minded Warrior-Lovers now, as a couple.

Mascul-IN-Touch℠ is a 16-week (about 4 month) solo-cultivation program consisting of 30 individual modules plus supplemental resources. Śiṣya-s (registered students) receive regular guidance and support from their mentor/preceptor.

Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ is a 16-week dual-cultivation program consisting of 20 individual modules plus supplemental resources, and builds upon the skills and learning acquired in the 16-week solo-cultivation program. Śiṣya-s (registered students) receive regular guidance and support from their mentor/preceptor.

pMascul-IN-Touch℠ and pMascul-IN-Timacy℠ are identical to the regular programs but are designed to accommodate registered partner practice.

---

Notes:

[1] In future, all special options available to partners and couples will be shown with the “p” prefix.

[2] The foundational principle of Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ is the removal of obstacles barring a man’s path to true self-awareness, self-realization, transformation, and expression of the Divine Masculine Spirit.

[3] Potential śiṣya-s should understand that Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ and the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs do not come with a price tag. The “suggested donations” are just that, “suggested,” no man is excluded because he does not adhere to the suggestions. That’s a very big difference between Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ and almost every other program claiming to offer similar training and benefits.

[4] There are some men whose entire focus is on the spiritual aspect of yogic Tantra, tāntric ascetics or hermits, if you prefer. They concentrate their practices on solo-cultivation only. They, too, are an important part of homoerotic yogic Tantra. The vast majority of śiṣya-s practice either in solo-cultivation and in private sessions, or in groups, or with a regular partner. Solo-cultivation Mascul-IN-Touch℠ is designed to be practiced on one’s own but works even better when practiced with a partner.

In my recent article The Tantra Scam Scandals: Big Price Tags but Little Benefit (January 6, 2025) I commented on the incredible prices that some so-called tantra guru-s and their collaborators — actually neotantra and New Age sex workshops — are charging the ignorant for so-called retreats, festivals, and workshops, which are nothing more than orgies dressed up to appear to be spirituality programs.

That article was not the first time I expressed my indignation upon discovering what the charlatans and phonies were pulling off, while exploiting the seeker and the lonely. Prior to my most recent article I had written three earlier commentaries: What would God think? What, indeed?!? (April 8, 2020) not that I would have any claim to actually knowing what the ineffable would opine about any earthly undertaking. I did feel save speculating that given the facts and the motivations, assuming that our traditional values and virtues have some sort of Divine sanction, however.

In another article, Say NO! To The Fake Tantra Salesmen! (November 28, 2020), I follow the same reasoning, that is, there are too many fakes whose ignorance and greed are critically harming the benefit that honest mentors and preceptors can provide to seriously committed seekers. I compare the fakes to snake oil salesmen. Finally, in my article, Pay-2-Play Freak Shows (October 7, 2019), I review the situation then — which has not changed as of this writing — which I characterize as nothing less than freak show products.

Well, it was only a matter of time before the charlatan’s arrogance and greed caught up with them. I was patient, apart from my reviews and commentaries made on my own platforms, I did not attempt to pursue any particular course of action, despite my righteous indignation at what I was observing, and waited. Sooner or later they would be found out to be what they are.

So, dear Warriors, it did not come as a big surprise when I received the agonized lament below from one of the most culpable perps in the tantra exploitation niche:

Quite frankly, I was never much impressed by the poor writing and confused concepts of Tantra, which reduced and diluted an incredibly rich and wholesome tradition down to sex and orgasm. It was shameful but it was even more shameful when the organizers actually promoted pornography as being a healthy spirituality! You can’t make this stuff up!

Every possible carnival act has its devoted following, and I am not judging others’ tastes or preferences but I don’t have to approve of them when they are, well, irretrievably confused, erroneous, and perverse. I draw the red line when the salesman start messing with men’s psychospirituality.

Over the years I have received numerous complaints and laments of disappointment and even suspicion from men who had fallen victim to some of these scams, and who contacted me hoping to experience better things as followers of Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠. They did and asked themselves why they didn’t find homoerotic yogic Tantra sooner. What answer could I give them but to say that it wasn’t yet time and quote Rumi: “What you seek will find you.”

Despite my aversion to such enterprises as T4GM and their ilk, I commiserate with them on their so-called loss. Yes, it’s true bereavement if by definition bereavement is the experience of the loss of something valuable, and truly a profitable business enterprise is certainly something valuable. But my commiseration is more the emotion associated with seeing justice done even if I have authentic compassion for the criminal receiving his due. I have always felt that entrepreneurs like T4GM were taking advantage of a power imbalance, something which I strongly hold to be unethical and immoral, a violation of the highest yogic principle of ahiṃsā (अहिंसा), the prescriptive teaching of Yoga (योग) and Tantra (तन्त्र) to do no harm of any kind to any creature, particularly to avoid harming another human being.

For you weekend social media denizens who don’t have the chance or desire to spend time on social media during the week, you may have missed our announcement of a great opportunity to become acquainted with Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ and the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and Mascul-IN-Timacy℠  programs through your participation in the Adoration of the Living Liṅgaṃ “ALL” pilot program.

You can enroll in this FREE 4-week test ride program and help us develop a full-service program of masculine spirituality and wellbeing in a concentrated introduction to tāntric ritual for men only.

This introductory opportunity is a great way to start the New Year 2025: by becoming more self-aware and authentically masculine through homoerotic yogic Tantra.

Enrollment has been extended to Saturday, January 18, 2025, because some potential students have commented that the initial enrollment period was too short and they became aware of the opportunity only after the close of the original enrollment period. We apologise for that oversight and want to welcome as many of you as possible up to January 18, 2025, and will waive the original limitation on the number of enrollees in the pilot program.

Please contact Dāka
Karuṇā T. (William) at
bt4m.all.dk@gmail.com
to request enrollment materials and to receive your initial ALL Test Ride modules.

Enrollment in the Adoration of the Living Lingam “ALL”
FREE Pilot Program has been
Ｅｘｔｅｎｄｅｄ to Saturday, January 18, 2025

Enroll Now and Join the Elite Tāntric Warriors

ℝ𝔼𝔾𝕀𝕊𝕋𝔼ℝ ℕ𝕆𝕎 𝔹𝕐 ℂ𝕆ℕ𝕋𝔸ℂ𝕋𝕀ℕ𝔾 Daka Karuna (William) at bt4m.ALL.dk@gmail.com and receive your personal welcome introduction kit and more details.

2025 has gotten off to a great start at Homoerotic Yogic Tantra℠ with the auspicious launch of the Adoration of the Living Lingam Pilot Program. The enrollees so far are showing great enthusiasm for the first modules they have received and in the coming weeks they will learn a great deal more about themselves and their masculine sensuality ranging from physical anatomy, to touch and sensation, right on up to the full celebration of the Lingam veneration ritual. These men will have a new world of physical bliss and spiritual enstasy in these few weeks.

I may be letting my enthusiasm take control but it’s very positive both for me and my work and for the men enrolling in the programs.

I originally planned on a 4-week pilot but that might have been a bit optimistic, given that I am enrolling quite a mixed group of men ranging from absolute virgins — figuratively speaking, of course — to mature men, some with tantric or yoga experience. This is better than I had hoped for, since the mature, experienced men have potential to become mentors to the younger followers. As a whole, I can say that the pilot program has exceeded my original anticipations.

Because of the reception and the variety in enrollees, I would like to extend the pilot for one or two weeks more. I’m doing this for two reasons: (1) To allow enrollees to properly study, digest, reflect on, and fine tune what they are learning, and (2) To allow late-comers or men who are not on social media 24/7 and who may have missed the invitation and the opportunity to join us.

Having said all that, “ALL” is basically a partner or group ritual. That said the modules comprising the ALL Pilot Program are extremely valuable for solo-cultivation or autoerotic practices, since the principles and practices on which the ALL is built are all basic and very important to the individual practitioner. That’s why it can be substituted for the intensive three-week Orientation Period preceding the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ and the Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs. The fact is, I am leading up to suggesting that you invite friends and acquaintances to practice with you.

As I have mentioned before, men who successfully complete the ALL pilot program will not be required to do the usual three-week Orientation Period for the Mascul-IN-Touch℠ or the Mascul-IN-Timacy℠ programs should they decide at the end of the pilot program to continue their studies.

Since I am extending the program itself, I am extending also the enrollment period until Saturday, January 18, 2025. I hope this will allow more men to join us and reap the benefits of this excellent opportunity.

Get more information on enrollment and the program at the ALL Program Details.
