Discerning Specialist Tantra Chair Review
With some research it is easy to find all kinds of copy variants, however even without looking at them in person it is pretty clear they are inferior replicas. Many are just foam based with no real support structure and even some of the better copy attempts still have wrinkling issues while costing as much if not more than the original Tantra Chair ®. Since I’m more discerning these days and not afraid to pay more for the best, I chose The Tantra Chair ® over all the other options as the quality noticeably stood out. Made by Zen By Design in The USA, they are not only the originators of The Tantra Chair ®, but have even patented the design as well. Although I like a minimalist look, it is nice that The Tantra Chair ® offers a good amount of colors and nailhead options to hone in your own custom look. To match my other bedroom furniture I just went with Ebony and no nailheads to keep it simple, but was able to request the addition of D-rings to the bottom for connection point options. Offhand they don’t offer them by default since it is one of their design goals that the chair looks classy enough to blend in anywhere in the house instead of looking like wild sex furniture that sticks out. That said I think the D-rings I ended up with overall hide well since they are attached on the underside of the chair. Despite planning to have it in our bedroom where vanilla looks don’t matter as much, it is a nice option that we could take it down to the living room and still not get crazy looks from visitors.
Upon receiving, it was great to see that The Tantra Chair ® looked every bit as beautiful as it does on the website and media. I love the tight clean look without any wrinkles that makes it appear much more high end. Since I’m not usually into contrasting stitching, I was briefly considering asking for black thread, however I noticed on the design notes that the intent is to accentuate the curved lines. Seeing that as a reasonable concept I decided to give it a try and I am happy I did as it does add pleasant highlights to the lines. One has to be pretty close to the chair before they start to perceive the contrast stitching. Even though I love me some leather, it is a wise choice for The Tantra Chair ® to use a synthesized leather. It is stain resistant, anti-microbial, overall easy to clean, more durable, and still has a nice, elegant leather texture. The quality is of the material is undeniably very high end. The overall easy to clean feature is a huge plus since when using the chair as intended, you are absolutely going to get all kinds of fluids on it. As recommended I’ve just been using water with a little mild soap soon after use and it looks as good as new. The 4 feet screw on easily and that functionality is a nice touch of modularity.
For first impressions of actually being on The Tantra Chair, it feels nice and sturdy as hoped. The construction is built to last using hardwoods and other solid materials as expected from quality furniture. When using with a partner one of the first thoughts that comes to mind is that the chair just feels sexy. I’ve heard the saying before, but it doesn’t fully make sense until you actually experience it. This of course is an awesome starting point in regards to getting everyone in the mood and in the right mindset. If you feel uncomfortable, cheap, and awkward it doesn’t exactly promote sex. While experimenting with different sexual positions, all the effort that went into the exact curve dimensions of The Tantra Chair ® becomes very apparent. Between the high and low curve points, it adds a huge amount of position variety. Kate, like most women, has preferences when it comes depth and angles during sex so it is amazing how we can really control and dial those factors in with The Tantra Chair ®. It greatly enhances the good situations while also allowing us to avoid angles that may hurt under normal circumstances. The Tantra Chair ® is designed to make it easier and more comfortable to perform and enhance many sexual positions seen in The Kama Sutra. Even though the diversity of options is certainly appreciated, the big show position for us would be the ol’ classic missionary on The Tantra Chair ®. With Kate sitting/laying down with her back against the high curve, I can face her while sitting in the central contour. It really emphasizes the advantages of the design. I like to start with both of us in the middle then we can shift towards the high curve which basically creates a ramp to have her fall onto me with the forces of gravity. Already using gravity to an advantage I can also gain a great amount of control due to having my feet on the ground resulting in enhanced depth and with a unique and pleasurable angle for both of us. This position is also a great example of how The Tantra Chair ® creates a lot body to body contact giving that ultra sexy feel. Your bodies will naturally want to embrace each other all while still being easy to caress, enhancing the feeling even further. It sounds cheesy, but the chair will literally bring you closer together. One simply cannot recreate this functionality on a bed or using pillows creatively which is why The Tantra Chair ® has provided all new pleasurable experiences for us.
As one can see on the position examples between our pictures (www.discerningspecialist.com) or the great media on The Tantra Chair ® website, the chair is highly intuitive to perform all kinds of positions and uses. The core shape of two different arc heights and a central contour seems to masterfully accommodate any position and it’s reverse counterpart. Although, since we aren’t too busted up yet I can’t comment fully on the concept of The Tantra Chair ® helping couples with physical limitations, however I can see how the enhanced control of positions and interaction could apply. It is not hard at all to get into a super comfortable positions letting The Tantra Chair ® do most the guidance while only small pelvic movements are needed for great pleasurable results. Even for folks who are plenty healthy, only needing minimal effort can certainly also be appreciated when it comes to having epic long sex sessions. Kate in particular was pleasantly surprised where she thought The Tantra Chair ® looked nice and all, but felt that the concept appeared a bit gimmicky initially. After one use however, she was sold for life due to how much she enjoyed it. We already had a good sex life so it is a lovely treat to see The Tantra Chair ® managed to make it even better. Sometimes we find it is good for us to have some vanilla sex as opposed to heavy BDSM all the time, so it nice that the chair lets us mix it up while definitely not being boring. Even though neither of us are big into The Kama Sutra offhand, feeling the majority of the positions fall more under the concept of “look at what I can do!” rather than actually being pleasurable, The Tantra Chair ® does such a good job it makes us want to revisit and experiment with many positions we felt weren’t practical before. Not to be forgotten, although the D-rings allow for some BDSM fun on The Tantra Chair ® as is, I’m very happy with the results combining it with the SM-Cube. So far it seems to be a wonderful way to blend some of the best sexual position options of The Tantra Chair ® with the excellent bondage options of the SM-Cube. As a fellow designer I can appreciate the small quality details and the general form vs. function balance that The Tantra Chair ® has made. Inspired by the female form, it shows in a classy and sexy way while still being highly functional. The cost of The Tantra Chair ® is definitely going to be a barrier for many, but it is also a classic example of you get what you pay for. Being the original creators, every detailed decision of The Tantra Chair ® comes from research and experience while the illegal copy versions are basically creating half ass-ed attempts with changes due to laziness or cost cutting. Even with cost in mind, I’m happy to say The Tantra Chair ® has met or exceeded all of our expectations including the customer service. With the manufacturing being in the USA it is great to see that local manufacturing can still be a sign of quality and the fact that the actual creator/company president, AJ Vitaro, is contactable and a super nice guy!
You’ve probably heard all kinds of variants of “x” product will add fire to your sex life or rekindle your relationship and I’m with you. I’ve always thought that sounded ridiculous. Thus, I take it pretty seriously that so far The Tantra Chair ® is the only product that has ever delivered on such promises for us. There is certainly something to be said that out of all the high quality gear we have, Kate currently declares The Tantra Chair ® her absolute favorite.
