Sting and his wife Trudie Styler have been in the public eye for decades, and one topic that always seems to come up is their rumored tantric sex life. It's a subject that has caused quite a stir, but the couple has always handled it with grace and humor.
For years now, we've heard about Sting and Trudie's supposed seven-hour tantric sex marathons. Recently, in an interview with The Times, Sting nonchalantly shrugged off the question but couldn't resist adding a witty quip about their bedroom antics. "It could be worse," he joked, "and the seven hours includes dinner, a movie, and five hours of begging."
Sting had previously addressed the rumors in a 2014 episode of Bravo's Inside the Actor's Studio, where he explained that tantric sex is a spiritual experience for him and his wife. "I don't know any purer or better way to express love for another person than through this sacred act," he shared. However, he did clarify that the seven-hour duration was an exaggeration, but the concept of intimacy and connection was what mattered most to him.
The couple's marriage has stood the test of time, having tied the knot in 1992. Sting's humorous response to the tantric sex question in the interview was no surprise to their friends and family, who have seen their relationship flourish over the years. In a 2011 interview with The Telegraph, Trudie jokingly blamed their friend Bob Geldof for the whole tantric sex debacle. She recalled how Sting had mentioned it in a drunken interview with a rock journalist, and Bob had innocently asked about it, prompting Sting to explain further.
Trudie may have been slightly embarrassed by the whole thing, but she couldn't help but find it amusing. "He had forgotten he had said it because he was completely rat-arsed," she shared with the publication. Bob himself later took responsibility for the confession, retelling the story in a speech while presenting Sting with an Ivors Academy Fellowship in 2023.
But what exactly is tantric sex? According to LELO's sex and relationship expert Kate Moyle, it's a slow, meditative form of sex that focuses on the mind-body connection and the sensual pleasure rather than the end goal. It's about fully immersing oneself in the moment and exploring one's partner's body, not just the genital experience.
In his speech, Bob jokingly dismissed the idea of tantric sex, saying it was pointless and that the couple would be better off "getting it over with." He even shared a humorous anecdote about his and Sting's differing views on the matter during a joint interview, which sparked the whole tantric sex rumor.
But despite the comical nature of the topic, Bob also paid tribute to his friend's musical talents and their lifetime of friendship. It's clear that despite the playful teasing, there is a deep respect and admiration between these two friends.
In the end, it's important to remember that everyone's sex life is their own business, and what works for one couple may not work for another. As long as both partners are happy and fulfilled, that's all that matters. And for Sting and Trudie, it seems their seven-hour tantric sex sessions have played a positive role in their long-lasting marriage.
