Joyner was already a practitioner of tantric sex when he landed the Barney gig back in 1991.
Apparently, Barney’s exuberance while teaching the kids about love on the show wasn’t faked by David Joyner!
According to Joyner in a chat with Vice, lawyers for the show informed him that he was not permitted to talk, practice, or teach about tantra while he was under contract to play Barney.
Nevertheless, he continued to practice tantric sex in secret.
