Yearning men are taking over the internet—but what does yearning really mean? Explore how Tantric pussy worship turns longing into slow, devoted intimacy.

The Internet Is Yearning for Pussy Worship

Yearning Men: Tantra Has Been Doing It for Centuries

Like someone dropped to their knees and had nowhere else to be.

The yearning men trend has been sweeping the internet off its feet lately, and it's surfacing something deeper than a specific type of man. It's tapping into a collective confession:

We want presence. We want to be wanted... deeply, patiently, like we're worth slowing down for. We want devotion.

What Does Yearning Mean?

Here is my hot take: yearning isn't new. By definition, yearning is a strong feeling of wishing for something, especially something that you cannot have or get easily. But Eastern traditions understood and embodied this for centuries, and it has a physical expression that might be the most intimate thing you can offer another person.

It's called pussy worship. And if you've never experienced it (as giver or receiver), this is your invitation.

What Yearning Is Really About

Strip away the aesthetics... the rain-soaked longing, the smoldering eye contact, the Catherine & Heathcliff edits, and what's left is something genuinely interesting.

People aren't just craving attraction. They're craving quality of attention. A partner who isn't already somewhere else in their head, who isn't rushing toward a finish line, who finds the experience of being with you to be the entire point.

In a culture that has optimized intimacy for speed and convenience (swipe, match, perform, detach), that kind of unhurried devotion has started to feel almost radical. But in Tantric philosophy, it's foundational.

Tantric tradition understands the feminine, the Shakti, as a living, erotic, intelligent energy that responds to how it's approached. Not a passive thing to be acted upon, but a force that opens or closes based on the quality of presence it meets. Shakti doesn't respond to urgency or performance. It responds to reverence, to someone who arrives fully and stays there.

Yearning, at its best, is exactly that. It's a desire that doesn't flinch or rush, that finds arousal in the wanting itself. When that energy meets the body—when it becomes touch, breath, attention, voice—it becomes worship.

So, What Is Tantric Pussy Worship, Actually?

Let's be specific, because this concept deserves more than vague new age spirituality.

Tantric pussy worship is not a technique. It's not going through the motions of oral sex with your mind elsewhere, and it's not a performance of devotion designed to get your partner off faster. It's full-body, full-presence attention. It's the giver arriving without an agenda, genuinely curious, genuinely present, and the receiver being given enough safety to fully land in their own body.

And the physiology of this is real. Slow, attentive, unhurried touch activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowers cortisol, floods the body with oxytocin, and changes the tissue itself, making it more sensitive, more open, more responsive to touch. The kind of pleasures that emerge from this state aren't just more likely, they're fuller, deeper, whole-body.

Your nervous system was built for this quality of touch. Most of us just rarely receive it.

How Do You Pussy Worship?

1. Presence and anticipation. Start before you even touch.

Worship starts before you touch them, so tease them and build erotic anticipation.

Make eye contact and slow down (like wayyyy down). Let them feel how much you want them, whisper exactly what you're thinking, and make them crave you so badly it's almost unbearable. Then hold it just a little longer, because that's where the magic happens.

Run your hands slowly over their body and let them feel that you're not mentally already at the destination, that you're interested in this, right now, with them. Speak from the heart to convey how you’re feeling in the moment. You might want to say things like:

  • "I've been thinking about this all day."
  • “I can’t stop looking at how beautiful you are.”

... you get the idea.

2. Touch, like you mean it. 

When you do arrive, slow down even further.

Run your hands over their body like you're discovering it for the first time, keep it slow and deliberate, use your lips, your tongue, your breath. Worship doesn't begin at the obvious place. It begins at the inner thighs, the lower belly, the crease where the leg meets the hip, areas overloaded with nerve endings and chronically under-attended.

Kiss everywhere except where they want it most and let the ache build until it's almost unbearable. Touch them like the only thing that matters is how they arch into you, because in that moment, it is. Play with pressure, sometimes lighter pressure is better and more teasing. This is where yearning becomes embodied: you're not performing patience, you're genuinely savoring the build, finding this, right here, worth every second of your attention.

3. Talk them through it. Your voice is doing more than you think.

This is where most lovers leave pleasure on the table.

Vocalizing your desire, your actual real-time experience of being there with them, signals safety. It says: “I'm here, I'm not bored, I'm not going anywhere.” When someone feels truly wanted rather than serviced, their nervous system relaxes in a way no technique can engineer. They stop monitoring, stop managing, stop performing, and they drop into their body. That's when sensation expands into something they'll remember.

In Tantric practice, sound is a vehicle for energy, so mean it when you speak. Try things like:

  •  "You taste incredible." 
  • “Keep your legs open for me. I’m just getting started.”

Let them feel and fully receive your words.

4. Follow their lead. Their body is already telling you everything.

Pay attention, that's it, that’s the whole instruction.

Notice how their breath shifts, the way they move toward you or away, where they go quiet, and where they go loud. Their body is already communicating everything you need to know, and your only job is to listen and respond.

Approach them like you're learning them for the first time, not because you don't know what you're doing, but because this body, this person, this moment is specific and alive. If they're moaning, arching, begging, moving their hips back and forth—stay there.

Let go of the finish line. Worship isn't a performance; it's a connection.

This is the golden rule.

The thing about genuine yearning, the kind worth craving, is that it doesn't rush toward resolution (or, in this case, trying to get them to reach a climax as quickly as possible). It lives in the longing and finds the tension itself to be the reward.

Worship asks the same of you: release the goal. There is no correct outcome. Orgasm is not the destination nor the goal—presence is. When you stop reaching for a result and simply stay, completely and devotedly there, you'll find that everything your partner is capable of opens in ways technique alone could never reach. When they feel you fully tuned in, unhurried, attentive, there, they'll give you more than you ever imagined.

Because worship isn't about what you do. It's about who you are in that moment.

So, Why Pussy Worship?

When someone experiences this, being truly worshipped, unhurried, and fully seen, something shifts. The body softens, pleasure deepens, and the connection between two people becomes something carried well beyond the room.

This is what the yearning moment is collectively asking for, underneath all the edits and the aesthetics: intimacy that actually lands. Sex that feels like it means something. A partner who wants the totality of you, not just the experience of you, not just the outcome, but the whole, present, breathing reality of you.

Tantra has held this understanding for centuries. The body responds to devotion, and Shakti opens to reverence. The more fully a giver arrives, the more expansively a receiver can open, and the more a receiver truly opens, the more a devoted giver receives in return. It moves both ways. It always has.

So if the concept of yearning resonates, if some part of you recognized yourself in that collective exhale, this is what it looks like when it leaves the internet and enters the body. Take your time. Stay present. Worship like you mean it. And most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy the process.
