What's the first thing that pops into your head, when you hear the word...

[XNASA]

Tantric?

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. sting

damn him!

:D

[Robb]

5. Same here

...he said later it was all a gag, but way to self-brand, Sting! :D

[arwalden]

2. Tantric Sex or Tantric Massage comes to mind... but I don't know why.

[meegbear]

6. Me too ...

and I can honestly say that I don't many words with 'Bowie'.

[arwalden]

8. Well... there's Bowie, Maryland --- Just a few miles from here.

A pleasant enough place to live.

-- Allen

[XNASA]

7. I should have been more clear in implying that I mean....

Tantric sex, or Tantric massage.....

But I didn't want this to be misconstrued as merely a sex thread.

But if I said 'Tantric sex' instead of just 'Tantric'......what would you then say?

[arwalden]

11. Still "Other"...

It would have made me think of India or the Kama Sutra. Would I have been too far off the mark? --- Or am I making disjointed mental associations and mentally categorizing things that aren't truly related to each other?

-- Allen

[XNASA]

14. I'm just exploring the Sting/Tantric connection, is all.

I was speaking with someone who is a big Sting fan, but they had never heard of his association with Tantric Sex.

I said that if you quizzed 100 people on the street who had heard of Sting, then at least half of them would know about the Trantic Sex/Sting/Trudie thing.

I'm just putting my theory to the test.

[arwalden]

17. And You Believe That The DU LOUNGE Is A Reliable Proving Ground???

We are definitely Abby Normal around here. Good luck with your experiment.

-- Allen

[XNASA]

22. Reliable? Oh my, no.

But I'm to lazy to lumber down to State Street and ask people directly.

;-)

[qwertyMike]

12. Erectile....

dysfunction

[Whitacre D_WI]

3. Coppertone, of course.

That dog is a guru.

[Failure]

4. What I did with my wife last night. eom

[JAbuchan08]

9. Sex

but any vaguely foreign sounding word makes me think of sex. Come to think of it most English words do to. You could have put "bolonga" up there and I would have thought of sex, and I don't even like bolonga.

[XNASA]

10. But if I would have said.....

Tantric Sex....

What would your pick have been from among the choices given?

[JAbuchan08]

13. Sting, you silly person

He invented it right?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. nothing pops in my head

its a difficult process to understand well. and i dont. so head kinda goes blank

[Whitacre D_WI]

19. Isn't that the whole idea?

[redqueen]

21. lol

Funny. :)

Don't know if that's the point of yoga, but I know it is for TM. So it's funny for now at least.

[DinahMoeHum]

16. something about yoga. . .or sex. . .

although I understand that Sting practices yoga. . .

:shrug:

[redqueen]

18. Yoga

And isn't it spelled "Shakti"?

[southpaw]

20. Days of the New...

which makes me think Alice in Chains...

R.I.P. Layne! You Rocked Our World!

[Parrcrow]

23. multi-orgasmic sex

that goes on for hours. I don't care if its a fallacy or not. Its still nice to think about.

[XNASA]

24. That's a given.

But if I had said, "Tantric Sex" instead of just "Tantric"....then what would your answer be?

[Parrcrow]

25. and a taken

yup I would have thought of Sting but only briefly.
