The next best thing to having sex is looking forward to sex. The Way of Anticipation is to revel in the tension of a good sexual buildup. Feel the edge of the moment, but stay relaxed. "My longing for you keeps me in this moment," said the mystical Sufi poet Rumi (1207-1273). Take a deep, long breath, and enjoy the feeling.
