Learn Sexual Kung Fu from Former Gap Model at Raw Tantra

How did a hot, young Gap model and performing artist become the purveyor of sexual healing?
“I wanted to help people look and feel their best,” said Loren Johnson, who’s gone from model to fitness instructor and yoga teacher. “My modeling career taught me presentation and that what people really want is to feel and be more fully alive.”
However, Johnson went the distance — literally — in his quest to help others improve the quality of their lives. He journeyed to the Far East to unveil the secrets of sexual vitality and bring them back to Orange County.
Through his yoga practice, Johnson quickly realized the connection between breathing, circulation and sexual vitality. He noticed the connection between life force and sexuality, noting that people with greater sexual capacity also had greater health. His interest in fitness and yoga led to his development of a system that he calls “Sexual Kung Fu.” Like Joseph Kramer, who founded Body Electric (erotic tantric massage for men), Johnson looked to Eastern mysticism to learn more about greater sexual pleasure, increased performance ability and deeper sexual satisfaction. Combining the tantric “Breath of Life” (Prana) practice with Qijong, a Taoist (ancient Chinese medical) approach, Johnson has not only mastered Sexual Kung Fu, but he also demonstrates on video — something no other teacher/practitioner has done.
In 2007, Johnson studied with Taoist teacher Mantak Chia, co-author of The Multi-Orgasmic Man (along with Douglas A. Arava), quickly seeing the application of this work with gay men. While many gay men look to steroids, Viagra and methamphetamines for increased and prolonged sexual pleasure, Johnson offers a way that is healthy and invigorating (and without the side-effects). He considers the sexual experience a Spiritual Practice.
Many ancient cultures saw raw sexuality and sexual expression as an essential way of accessing spirit and soul, since sex is linked to health and the prolonged life. Johnson points out that the term “tantra” means “expansion” — expansion of consciousness and awareness, as well as the actual sex organ. If each day you massage your gonads the number of times equal to your age, you are massaging an endocrinal gland and releasing increased levels of hormones, such as testosterone, into your system. You also stimulate the pituitary, adrenal and pineal glands, as well as the thymus, releasing vital fluids throughout your entire endocrine system. This practice will not only prevent disease, it will increase overall health, leading to increased vitality and increased sexual stimulation, endurance, performance and pleasure.
It is a myth that men cannot experience multiple orgasms or have successful penile enlargement, said Johnson. “The body is very adaptable,” he said. “If we stretch certain muscles, those muscles get more elongated and flexible. Consider its flexibility and how it can expand from being quite small to very big. When the penis is stretched, especially throughout time, the penile cells expand so that they fill with more and more blood, thereby granting one larger and larger erections.”
It’s safe, natural and effective, Johnson said, adding that these practices are “learned on oneself to get the sense of familiarity. Then, all the techniques can be used in the more advanced realm of partner contact.”
With Sexual Kung-Fu, Johnson deftly addresses the need to be relational. Sexual relationships are relationships, and when we are having sex we are looking for connection with ourselves and with others. “Sexual Kung-Fu is often called ‘Backdoor Enlightenment’ because people may approach it with a desire for a larger sex organ, better quality sex or improved health, but what often happens is that the ‘seeker’ finds more,” Johnson said. “[The seeker] awakens to a deeper sense of himself, and gains inner peace and more profound connectedness with himself, his significant other(s) and the world around him.
