Barefoot Doctor 2017

Barefoot Doctor's Handbook for Modern Lovers is the third of a trilogy of handbooks dealing with the 'eternal' triumvirate that appears to make the material world go round, namely Power, Money and Sex (PMS).

Handbook for the Urban Warrior, a Spiritual Survival Guide, deals with the Wayward Taoist spiritual approach to attaining (personal) power. Handbook for Heroes, a Spiritual Guide to Fame and Fortune, deals with the Wayward Taoist spiritual approach to attaining wealth, i.e. success and renown. Handbook for Modern Lovers, a Spiritual Guide to Truly Rude and Amazing Love and Sex, does just that: provides a Wayward guide to help you discover new depths of sexual love within yourself.

I have come (fairly) clean in this book about my own sexuality in the hope that modern lovers the world over will be inspired to do likewise, as I believe that bringing things out into the open is good for people's health and will be helpful in reducing general tension levels on the planet at this time. Moreover, it will hopefully make for some interesting and enjoyable theatre.

I present the following material, not to shock or show off in any way, but to share with you, humbly and honestly, the vast wealth of sexual experience I have gained, both as a professional healer and private aficionado, as it would be a shame to let it go unwritten.

In so doing, I write as I would speak to you if I were in the room with you now (and I wasn't trying to behave myself and watch my language because you were the Queen/King or something of similar standing). As a result, words often considered taboo pop up in the text with some frequency, as do instances of inevitable schoolboy humor, alongside descriptions of extreme explicitness.

For this reason, you may find it expedient to keep this handbook far from the hands of children or be prepared for some pretty frank discussion.

Be warned: what follows is potentially subversive, may result in untimely death, and furthermore is written by a rogue with the morals of an alley-cat.

(Hidden within its secret folds) this handbook contains the key to sexual love. Sexual love is a very dangerous thing. Once you start messing around with it, you are inviting powerful forces into the cracks in your daily schedule, which can severely derange you, often permanently.

Reading the following material and practicing the methods suggested can radically alter your fundamental socio-sexual behavioral patterns. This constitutes an experiment with reality, the results of which cannot possibly be predicted.

An unsettling period of sexual disorientation may occur before you reach the herewith promised state of sexual nirvana, if indeed you do.

It is impossible/impractical to universalize sexual advice. Everyone responds to information differently. Everyone responds to sex differently (with different people at different times). Consequently, the material is open to misinterpretation and subsequent faulty sexual practices may result. It's not without the realms of possibility in this instance that you may variously lose complete sexual interest and enter holy orders, become a wanton slut/libertine, switch from straight to gay or vice versa, wreck your marriage/long-term relationship, give up a life of freedom to get married, or catch something and die young.

If you do manifest any development not to your liking, i.e. if your whole life gets fucked up as a result of playing with this material, neither I, nor anyone involved in the global production and marketing of this book will be held legally or morally responsible in any way.

That notwithstanding, my belief (and wish) is that reading this handbook will greatly enhance the value and increase the frequency of quality sexual experience in your life, thereby making you a happier, healthier person, who's more sexually confident and fun to be around and who consequently gets laid more often, (and that you'll be singing 'Barefoot Doctor is a brick' from the rooftops).

This material concerns one expression of love, perhaps the most momentarily intense. It's been around since the start of things, yet no one seems to have grown bored with it, indeed it has never failed to rivet the attention (from time to time) of even the most abstract of thinkers: sex with other people; or to be more precise, expressing sexual love with other people.

Sex as an expression of anything other than love is like food without nutritional value. It fills the gap for an instant, then you're hungry again. Sex as an expression of love nourishes you in a cumulative way, each encounter building your sense of self-value, increasing your capacity to love yourself and others.

Not that there's anything intrinsically wrong (or right) with loveless sex. Fast food is sometimes the expedient choice. Fast sex can be exhilarating. But just as your digestive organs find it hard to make much use of mass-market burgers, your soul finds it hard to make sense of loveless sexual encounters.

You don't need to be in a long-term relationship to express love when you have sex. You can express love with a complete stranger as easily as you can express no love with a long-term partner. That part's entirely up to you.

Credit the Artist for coining the phrase 'love-sexy'. This is a handbook on the mechanics of accessing, developing and refining love-sexy to the utmost spiritual degree (and making it work in your busy schedule).

Barefoot Doctor has been schooled in the Taoist art of love and sex (Taoist sexology) by more than one great master/mistress, and has devoted many thousands of hours to real-time practicing, refining, perfecting and generally engaging in practical (hands-on) research. {This is not to suggest Barefoot Doctor's a sex maniac or social deviant. Just a reasonably good-looking, single (for now), heterosexual guy in his early/mid-forties with a fairly good sense of humor, a healthy sex drive/curiosity, and hell, things happen.) He has written a previous international best-seller in the Taoist art of sexual massage, and, as well as his 'regular' healing work, has practiced as a sexual therapist with thousands of individuals in both private treatment and workshop scenarios over the twenty-one years he's been in practice. However, these factors notwithstanding, he feels it foolhardy to claim anything as grandiose as expertise, or to present from such a standpoint.
