THE SECRETS OF TAOIST SEXOLOGY

Sexual energy is known as one of the most powerful energies in the body. The secrets of Taoist sexology include the exchange of energy, retaining semen, frequency of ejaculation, and reflexology.

Taoist sexology revolves around sexual energy and involves the application of spirituality to increase sexual excitement. Taoist sexology implies how the Taoist practice sex.

Taoist sexology is a set of principles that sexually guides the followers of Tao. It enables a person to increase their sexual energy while maintaining and retaining it. According to Ruan (2013), Taoism expresses positive attitudes towards sex. Taoism is a doctrine and philosophy that teaches Tao believers how to live in harmony. The main principle in Taoist sexology instructs that the man should be able to retain ejaculation to have sexual energy. The Taoists believe that ejaculation drains the body and that a man should not release semen. They believe that it should stay in the body so that it may nourish the brain and eventually boost a man’s sexual energy. The following are the secrets of the Taoist sexology:

Exchange of Energy

Taoism instructs that everything has yin and yang energies as illustrated by Wong (1997). Yin connects us to the earth while yang connects us to the heavens. According to the Taoists, the symbol for male energy is fire. In contrast, the symbol for the female energy is water. Hence foreplay is very important. Sex is, according to the Taoists, a connection of the yin and the yang hence the popular phrase, ‘you are the yin to my yang’ to prove co-dependence. The main benefits during sex are when he gets the yin as he pleases the woman, while he gets the yang meant to give him more energy. The Taoist doctrines emphasize the woman because while he loses his energy every time he ejaculates, he can get it back when the woman has orgasms. So the more the woman orgasms, the more the man gains sexual energy, which makes it a very important factor according to Taoist principles. When the duo exchange fluids and energy during sex, it is known as joining essences. It is meant to boost health and increase lifespan. Loving the woman and making her excited during sex makes the connection of the energy possible. 

Retaining Semen

Taoism is very strict on how men should ejaculate. The belief is that ejaculation drains the body. They do not view it as the release of body fluids. When semen is released, the Taoists believe the body loses vitamins, hormones, and life. According to Eskildsen (1998), the Taoists believe that excessive loss of fluids results in premature aging, diseases, and fatigue. The man must minimize the loss of fluids as much as possible. It is important to realize that scientists believe frequent ejaculation protects men against prostate cancer. Scientists believe that the Taoists’ nutrients are afraid to lose during ejaculation are a negligible amount. Hence, the loss of those nutrients cannot affect the man’s body.

Frequency of Ejaculation

The Taoists do not specify the number of times a man should ejaculate or not, but they balance the frequency against a man’s age. The belief is that younger men can recover from the draining that comes with ejaculation. The frequency of how a man can ejaculate according to the Taoist doctrines is based on age; therefore, an older man should ejaculate fewer times than a younger man.

How To Ejaculate

A man should avoid ejaculating if he intends to abide by the Taoist doctrines. Then man pulls out right before ejaculation in what is known as ‘coitus conservatus.’ Harper, D. (1987) described coitus conservatus as a distinctive form of semen retention. The man can stop the ejaculation by pressing a spot s close to the anus. That spot is known as the perineum. The Taoists believe that when the man presses the perineum, the sperm is sent back to the prostate and eventually to the head to nourish the brain. The spot in Taoism is referred to as the “Million Dollar Point,” meaning that it is held in high esteem. Taoist doctrine expects every man to learn these techniques to prevent the loss of fluids. Taoists also believe that oral sex is good because it prevents the loss of vaginal fluid and seminal fluids.

Reflexology

Reflexology refers to the pressing of certain body parts to feel better. Taoism applies the same principle during stimulation to either achieve or suppress a climax. Taoists do not press the penis and the areas of the vagina that are known to cause orgasms. They can achieve reflexology by focusing on sexual positions.

Some sexual positions are, according to the Taoists, able to heal a couple. Most of the Taoist sex positions are suggested to enable the flow of energy, sexual, and general health. Taoists believe that the cowgirl position heals low blood pressure in men and nerve problems in women. 

Conclusion

Taoists see sex as a spiritual practice that can heal and increase lifespan. This has been seconded by scientific studies. Conventional medicine says that frequent sex can lower the risks of having a heart attack by 50% and that sex can boost the immune system. Some Taoist doctrines are very useful even among the non-believers of Taoism. Some of the doctrines are good for our health. The Taoist techniques can strengthen relationships and ensure emotional balance. Moreover, Taoism sex positions come in handy for people suffering from sexual problems such as low libido and premature ejaculation.
