Cover: The drawing on the cover is an ancient Taoist symbol of a coiled spring. A spring is designed to yield a little then bounce back and so represents the principle of giving and taking. This action-reaction represents Taoism and Taoism represents sex. The seven-coiled spiral also depicts the energy of earth that spirals like a top, moving first from right to left and then reversing direction. It therefore symbolizes the vertical and circular motions made during intercourse.

The Three Questions of Emperor Chien Lung

During the reign of Emperor Chien Lung (1711-1799), the emperor would occasionally travel throughout the country incognito so he could hear the opinions of the people. While away from the palace, he was replaced by an individual who greatly resembled him and was able to convince others that the emperor was still at his post. Once outside the royal enclave, Chien Lung sought to understand people's customs, to learn about their thoughts and feelings, to detect official corruption, and to gauge the level of loyalty among his subjects.

One day, he and two of his ministers disguised themselves as commoners and went out into the streets of the capital to mingle with the people. Observing the passersby, the emperor pointed to a shirtless, muscular blacksmith forging iron, a strong young man pushing a heavily loaded cart, and a beautiful girl with very small bound feet who was sitting on the right shoulder of a tall man, being carried down the street. He then asked his companions, Which of the three men is the strongest? One of his ministers promptly answered, Although the men are strong, the woman is strongest of all because she made the dragon (the emperor himself) turn his head twice to look at her.

INTRODUCTION

The Chinese principles of sex are unique to their culture and if compared to Western principles, appear to be male biased. This book provides information about the Chinese point of view without implying that it is better or worse than our own, just different. It does not propose that people adopt these principles, it just makes them available to Western readers. While people may feel that some of these principles, such as the ancient views on homosexuals and women, are not applicable to our modern world, they are the product of the cultural experiences of the Chinese people and as such are worthy of consideration.

Taoism is a body of general Chinese knowledge that has been accumulated over thousands of years. Unlike ancient systems of knowledge in other countries, Taoism has successfully resisted the attacks of Christian priests and so remains the oldest repository of human knowledge in the world. Taoism predates Christianity and Buddhism by a few thousand years, and its philosophical principles and practical methods are unmatched by those of any other system.

About five thousand years ago, Chinese sages used the word Tao to symbolize the center, the absolute, God, the infinite power without beginning and ending. They said that the human language did not have the words needed to describe the greatness of Heaven.

The Taoist approach to life is fundamentally different from the Western one. While Westerners revere technology, Taoists appreciate nature. Western doctors, for example, use drugs and tools to treat their patients but Taoist physicians prefer to rely on ancient exercises and herbal medicines to achieve the same end, convinced that man has more in common with a plant or tree than with a scalpel or chemical substances. Western scientists have even put men into space while Taoists feel that a trip to the moon is less satisfying than a trip to a serene mountain peak.

By the same token, Taoist sexology reflects a concern about the natural principles of human sexual relations and so contains principles that might at first seem unconnected to the sexual theme. Nonetheless, since all methods of knowledge are but an assorted collection of concepts, in time, even the strangest of Taoist principles will make sense to the reader.

Despite the many forms of entertainment available today, people still derive the greatest physical and mental pleasure from sexual activities. If given the choice, most would prefer to have sexual intercourse than to abstain from having it for the simple reason that copulation is one of man's three basic needs, the other two being food and sleep.

Practical knowledge allows man to work, study, better his environment, produce his own food, and create tools and objects that enhance his standard of living. However, although man has accumulated much knowledge over the centuries and become civilized, his sexual urges are as strong as those of the beasts. Taoists seek to control these urges through the practice of sexology, a method designed to help people enjoy sexual intercourse by teaching them how to make love in a skilled and controlled manner.

Although Taoist sexology seems deceptively simple, it is best appreciated by those who study it in earnest, just as the beauty of a diamond in the rough is best appreciated by experienced jewelers.

Taoist sexology provides people with methods for remaining healthy and for enjoying the greatest pleasures of sexual intercourse. It explains, for example, that every man is born with a predetermined physical capacity for producing semen, the source of male vitality, and that his body cannot produce an endless amount of semen, regardless of how sexually active he is. Some men are able to produce gallons of semen in their lifetime but others produce much less.

After a man's ability to produce semen is exhausted due to old age or excessive sexual activity, his kidneys and liver become weak, his bone marrow shrivels, and he dies. Thus, if a man expends his sexual vitality prematurely, he will become impotent at an early age or fall sick, a fate that often befalls womanizers.

The essence of Taoist sexology is therefore simple: the more semen a man spends, the less Chi energy he will have left to protect his general health.

Long ago in China, people with valuable knowledge on any subject were exhorted to submit their learnings to the ruler. If their knowledge was accepted, these individuals were handsomely rewarded and honored regardless of their social position or ethnic origins. Such knowledge was adopted by royal teachers who would then transmit it to the rulers. This meant that emperors always had access to the best Taoist teachings, for no one would dare deceive the First Son of Heaven by giving him false or impractical information.
