Actor David Joyner is now tantric sex guru charging $350 per session

The actor who once played Barney is giving new meaning to the plum-colored dinosaur’s “I love you, you love me” philosophy.

David Joyner now runs the Los Angeles-based Tantra Harmony — and says his time as the lead actor on the hit PBS show “Barney & Friends” prepared him for his current role as a sex guru.

“The energy I brought up (while) in the costume is based on the foundation of tantra, which is love,” Joyner, 54, told Vice. “Everything stems, grows and evolves from love. Love heals and allows you to continue to grow.”

But Joyner’s current gig appears to veer into potentially illegal territory.

Billing himself as a tantra massage specialist and spiritual healer, he charges 30 female-only clients $350 for sessions that last three to four hours, according to Vice. Joyner provides ritual baths, chakra balancing, massages — and sex — to release blocked energy.

“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,” Joyner told Vice.

Joyner donned the Barney outfit from 1991 to 2001.

“Before I got into the 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 said. “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.’”

An LAPD source told the Daily News its Sex Crimes unit had not received any reports regarding Joyner.

Joyner did not respond to an inquiry from The News.

Tantra purists scoffed at Joyner’s services.

They told Vice he was an example of how tantric therapies had been corrupted by escort services.

“Tantric sex can happen with your clothes on,” Kaya Kwan Yin, a tantra life coach. told Vice. “What typically looks like penis and vagina penetration is often referred to as ‘full union’ in contemporary practice. Sexual energy penetrates clothes, condoms, countries and beyond. Having sex with clients in the world of tantra is more of an anomaly than the norm.”

Joyner apparently believes otherwise.

He said that a “higher and more blissful state of awareness” is best achieved through unprotected sex because condoms “block the energy.”

To his clients — who he calls “goddesses” — Joyner presents his latest STD tests before their sessions and asks they disclose their own before signing a consent form.

Joyner said he exploits a legal loophole by declining to charge customers for their first tantra session.

But defense attorney Jonathan Kelman wasn’t buying that argument.

“You can’t legally have sex with someone in exchange for money,” he said.
