Reviews"Barbara's work is essential reading for anyone who wants to lead an ecstatic life, and indeed for anyone who wishes only to live a happier one." -- Mark A. Michaels and Patricia Johnson , authors of The Essence of Tantric Sexuality and Tantra for Erotic Empowerment, "Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans folks, and queers have been gathering under an ever-increasing and unwieldy alphabet moniker. Finally--thanks to Barbara Carrellas's new book--there's one letter that includes all of us and more. All sex and gender positive people can claim E for ecstatic!" -- Kate Bornstein, author of A Queer and Pleasant Danger, "This book is essential reading for anybody trying to attain new levels of intimacy and intensity, not only in their sex lives but in their lives as a whole." -- Janet W. Hardy, co-author of Radical Ecstasy and The Ethical Slut, "In 1990, when Barbara appeared in my first Bodysex Workshop video, I had no idea she would go on to become a sexual pioneer in her own right.

More, please!" -- Nina Hartley, author of Nina Hartley's Guide to Total Sex, " Ecstasy Is Necessary is destined to be a classic. Simply reading it is an ecstatic experience." - Denise Linn, author of Secrets and Mysteries: The Glory and Pleasure of Being a Woman, "Barbara Carrellas is a true visionary.

SynopsisEcstasy is the human reset button. It shakes you up, reboots your system, and opens your eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. Ecstasy introduces you to your deepest, most authentic self, while simultaneously offering freedom, intimacy, connection, and spiritual awakening. In this book, you'll dive deep into the world of ecstatic experience, beginning with the medium through which most people experience ecstasy--sex. However, this is much more than your typical sex book; it is an exploration of the entire erotic self and the infinite possibilities of ecstatic expression. The insights you will gain on your journey will help you approach sex and relationships with confidence, no matter where you are on your personal erotic path. You'll put together a tool kit for solving the inevitable challenges that arise along the way. And you'll learn that it's possible to create ecstatic experiences even when sex is not available or appropriate. Ecstasy Is Necessary gives you the permission and the possibilities to go where you haven't gone before., From Barbara Carrellas, sex expert and author of the best-selling book Urban Tantra, comes Ecstasy is Necessary. This is not your average tips-and-techniques sex book; rather it is an exploratory journey of the sexual self and the infinite possibilities of ecstatic expression. In Ecstasy is Necessary, Carrellas teaches readers how to discover, nurture, expand, and embrace their authentic, ever-evolving, sensual, sexual self. Everyone goes through different phases of sexual expression and desire, and there are an infinite number of erotic and ecstatic possibilities available at all points along the way. The insights readers will gain in their journey with Carrellas will help them confidently approach sex and relationships in a way that works for them no matter where they are in their sexual evolution. They will get tools for solving the inevitable challenges that arise. They'll even receive permission not to have sex at all, if that's what's right for them, because it is possible to create ecstatic experiences even when sex itself is not possible, available, or appropriate. Using stories and simple exercises, Carrellas helps readers understand how they are wired for sex and relationships, what their personal warning signs look like, and what they need for optimum care. Plus, they'll learn how to effectively communicate this information to others so that they can be loved more easily and effectively. As readers discover their authentic sexual selves, they will learn how to create the conditions that allow more and more of their experiences and relationships to be opportunities for--and invitations to--ecstasy.
