When you think of Barney The Dinosaur, you probably think of a lovable purple dinosaur. The last thing you probably think of? An intense tantric sex business. According to a new interview, though, the actor who used to play him, David Joyner, is now a tantra massage specialist and spiritual healer.
A full session (females only) with Joyner costs $350, and one can expect to receive a ritual bath, chakra balancing, and a massage. Also featured? Mind-blowing orgasms!
According to Vice, Joyner said:
“When the lingam [penis] and the yoni [vagina] meet, there’s a certain energy that takes place that hands on the body alone cannot create,” says Joyner, 54, whose yogi-like presence is often accompanied by a warm smile when we meet for the first of several interviews. “Even through G-spot massage, it’s still not the same energy that flows.”
It gets even more interesting than that:
“When you go down on a woman (orally), it should be just like you’re saying grace, like blessing the food you’re about to receive. No food in the world can compare to goddess nectar because spirit is involved. Before you taste the goddess nectar, give thanks. Say grace. I would love women to understand how powerful that energy is.”
He then spoke about his experience while playing Barney:
“The energy I brought up [while] in the costume is based on the foundation of tantra, which is love,” he explains. “Everything stems, grows, and evolves from love. Even when you have emotionally blocked energy, the best way to remove it is to remove it with love, and then replace it with God’s divine love. Love heals and allows you to continue to grow.”
He added:
“Before I got into the [Barney] costume, I would pray and ask God to allow his loving divine spirit to flow through me through the costume and let that draw the kids. That energy would always draw them in,” Joyner says. “Children are more connected spiritually than [adults]. A lot of times when I see infants and I’m out and about at the grocery store or whatever, they start staring at me. I make the joke, ‘You know who I am.’”
There is some controversy with Joyner’s practice, however, as he doesn’t use a condom with clients, as he believes it lessens the experience. Kimberly Resnick Anderson, a sex therapist, said:
“Even porn stars in California use a condom. It’s the law. For him not to use condoms is medically unethical and irresponsible. This is outrageous and far outside the standard of care.”
So there you have it. The next time you watch Barney, you can watch it knowing the guy behind the suit really enjoys to have spiritual sex with women. This story is almost as random as the Smallville actress running a violent underground sex cult – but far less dark. We think.
