Just as couples become more intimate with nature when they become quiet, they will enter into a more intimate relationship through softly luminous lovemaking. In Slow Love: A Polynesian Pillow Book, couples will discover how to prepare the body for lovemaking through massage, and the soul through meditation. Couples will awaken to a unifying level of relationship: a yoga of love. These notes on Polynesian lovemaking have been warmly embraced in Japan, where they sparked the "Polynesian sex" vogue, especially among yoga couples. Inspired by Powell's writings, Hiroyuki Itsuki, Japan's über author and Buddhist thinker, wrote two volumes on South Seas sensuality. Also, Kunio Kitamura, Head of Japan's Family Planning Association, enthusiastically promotes Powell's thoughts on Polynesian-style passion as a way for men and women to deepen sexual sensitivity, health, and fulfillment. He writes: "Polynesian sex involves taking a long time and allows energy in the form of weak electromagnetic waves, similar to the concept of ki, to flow, building up to create large waves that encompass the entire body and bring enormous pleasure and happiness."
