‘Sshh,’ Miles* lifts his finger to his lips and glances around. We’re sitting in a pub garden chatting after the tantra workshop where we met. As usual, I’m speaking too loudly. Sex, tantra and pleasure are not topics of conversation others are allowed to overhear. The openness we experienced on the workshop is already shrinking as we re-enter the normal world. ‘I wore my best shirt,’ Miles laughs, ‘as it’s our first date.’ In reality, we’ve already spent a couple of extraordinarily sensual nights together on the workshop, and now we’re discussing where we might like to go from here.
