In Taoist practice we regard this as a mini pump, where
your arch will create a vacuum to push up the energy higher. 6. Your next stopping place is at your jade pillow. This is at the
back of your head, between C-l and the base of the skull. Do it in
the same manner as discribed by inhale-exhale at the testicle and
keep on pumping up the energy up to perineum sacrum, T-11 and
the base of skull. In this area is a place to store the energy for
further use. 7. Your next stopping point is Pai Hui, at the crown of your head. Do it in the same manner only this time fill the straw to the top. Tilt
the sacrum to the back in order to straighten the curve out a little
bit to help activate the pump action. This gets the lower pumping
going. At the same time you tuck in your chin a little and squeeze
the back of your skull, it will activate the upper cranial pump. Keep
on pulling up to the point dead center on top of the head. 8. When the energy finally goes up into your head, men will have
the very distinct feeling that it's spinning and usually in a clockwise
direction, as you look up. If you're alert you can count 36 revolu-
tions. It should feel good and refreshing; the extra energy should
help your creative power and improve your memory. You can
think more clearly, and are at the beginning stage of controlling78 Taoist Secrets Of Love
your sexual urges or frustrations. This sperm energy is later con-
verted into chi, the original life force, in the spiritual levels of
Taoist yoga. When people get older they've used up so much of
their chi that the brain energy and spinal fluid gradually drain out
and dry up, leaving a cavity. The testicle breathing transports the
sexual energy to fill the cavity and vitalize the brain. Taoists regard
the sexual energy as very close to the brain energy. 9. Finally you can bring the sexual energy from the testes up to the
head in one sweet draw up the straw, a single clean inhale. In the
beginning you can just go from station to station, till you feel the
back channel (governor channel) is more open. Eventually you will
be able to put your mind in the testicles and the crown of the head
and just mentally move the sexual energy from the testicles up all
the way to the brain. 10. Take your time to really feel the "cold" when you practice. Don't rush it, and always keep those pumps going as you breath in
and out. Use more mind than physical pull when you do all this. Let the "cold" feeling be your guide. Work at it too hard and you'll
heat up the "cold" ching. You won't be able to safely store this hot
energy in your brain. DIAGRAM 16

THE GOLDEN NECTAR
When your head is filled with sperm energy the excess ching may
spontaneously combust with the chi in your higher centers and spill
over into the Microcosmic Orbit and flow down through your pal-
ate and down the tongue. This will taste different to different
people. It's generally called the Golden Nectar but it can taste like
champagne, honey, coconut juice, or fragrance of all kinds of
things, or it can simply feel like a warm tingling sensation on your
tongue. This exercise, the "Dance of the Testes", may be performed
anywhere: in the subway or car, at your desk or television, in bed,
etc. The main consideration is that the back be properly straight,
chest relaxed, and scrotum hanging freely. It is highly desirable to use the testicle breathing to tone the
pelvic diaphragm. The whole lower abdomen is deeply massaged
each time the pelvic diaphragm flexes. Life force flows into the
region through periodic waves of breath which stimulate the glands
and vital organs. COMPRESSING THE AIR INTO THE SCROTUM INCREASES
SEXUAL POWER
Many benefits of the Testicle Breathing are magnified when per-
formed in conjunction with the Scrotal Compression exercise. This
exercise reduces the incidence of nocturnal emission and pre-
mature ejaculation. It lessens the chance of hernia. It helps you
calm down when sexually over-excited by teaching you to con-
sciously direct energy into and out of the pelvic region. It builds
your sexual power dynamically by using the vital chi taken from air
and packing its charge into your ching chi. Of the three suggested positions, sitting or standing are prefer-
able. Inhale a fairly large amount of air into the throat and swallow
the air. Swallowing drives the air down to the solar plexus. From
this center it will be driven down to the testes. This is accom-
plished by contracting the abdominal muscles downward in a slow
wave. From the solar plexus the air is rolled down into the pelvic
region. From there it is compressed into the testes. When the air is
driven into the testes you experience a flush of heat. The testes80 Taoist Secrets Of Love
seem to expand, and after a short time the power driven into them
flows up the spine to the head, which also becomes very warm. SCROTAL COMPRESSION EXERCISE: STEP BY STEP
1. Sit on the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the floor about
a shoulder apart. Wear loose pants or wear nothing from your waist
down, so your testicles literally hang out. 2. Inhale through the nostrils into the throat. From there swallow
the air down to the solar plexus, midway between your heart and
your navel. Imagine the air as a ball. 3. First the ball sits behind the solar plexus. From this point roll it
down to the navel. Then into the pelvis and scrotum. 4. Forcibly compress the air into the scrotum for as long as you can
do so. The minimum period for each compression should be 30 to
40 seconds. Slowly work up to at least one minute. Every single
scrotal compression shoots tremendous energy into the testes. With compression of an entire minute the exercise takes full effect. The anal sphincter and perineum muscle must be squeezed tight
during this exercise to prevent leakage of energy. 5. When you have finished the compression, exhale and relax com-
pletely. If saliva accumulates in the mouth during compression,
swallow it before exhaling. 6. After complete exhalation take a number of quick, short breaths
to recover your wind. Dart the air in and out of the nostrils to
quickly regain capacity for another compression. Remember to
breath through the nose, and do not inhale unduly large quantities
of air. This is called "Bellows Breathing", because you must pump
your lower abdomen in and out quickly in order to do it. This exercise quickly charges the whole body. If you feel ill or
out of sorts, several scrotal compressions will restore you to good
form. Perform the exercises in the following sequence: First do one
scrotal compression. Then rotate the waist with the arms at shoul-
der level. Rest for a moment and repeat the exercise. Remember to
keep the tongue up to the palate when compressing the air. Perform
5 contractions.The Dance Of The Testes 81
When you have grown stronger, you may do five compres-
sions in succession and then rest with waist rotation. Then begin a
second series of five compressions. Keep the breathing between
compression short and shallow to not lodge power high in the
body. DIAGRAM 17

Practice testicle breathing and scrotal compression twice a
day for about fifteen minutes in the morning and fifteen minutes in
the evening. This method alone yields real benefits. In addition to
those benefits already mentioned, it also helps cure impotence or
deficient virility. Insomnia and nervousness often radically im-
prove with these breathing techniques. General lack of energy and
associated symptoms may also be relieved with regular practice. If you have retained your sexual fluid for four weeks or more,
the exercise should start to take effect within three days after be-
ginning practice. The testes feel warm, tend to "jump", and may
itch somewhat. These indicate that the testes are receiving un-
usually high amounts of vital force. The tissues are already re-
generating. These signs occur only if the exercise is done properly. A month or two of exercise will produce substantial increase in
strength and well-being. VENTING EXERCISE FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
After practicing scrotal compression for 2 to 6 weeks, some stu-
dents with high blood pressure notice a large flow of chi energy to
the head. They feel tension in the head because the blood has
followed the upward flow of the vital power. This is not unlike a
mild symptom of the "Kundalini Syndrome", in which freed en-
ergy races about the body out of control. If you suffer from high blood pressure and haven't practiced
meditation to open the microcosmic orbit (described in chapter 8)
which distributes the energy evenly through the circuits of the
body, you can meditate on two points to vent excess pressure. These are the Ming-Men, on the spine directly opposite the navel
(between T-12 and T-13) and the Yuang Ch'uan (K-l point), on the
balls of your feet. To locate the Ming-Men place a string around the waist like a
belt. Make it perfectly horizontal and place it across the navel. The
Ming-Men lies where the string meets the spine. If you have a big
hanging belly, measure from where your navel was before it fell. When you bend over backwards from the waist, the point feels like
a hole in the spine. The other point, the Yuang Ch'uan, lies on the foot. When
clenching the toes, it is the deepest central point on the ball of the
foot.The Dance Of The Testes 83
Once you've found the point on both feet, tape onto them
spiny little balls such as a prickly chestnut or plain tree seed pod. Place both hands at the back and press firmly on the spiny ball
while concentrating on the M4ng-Men point. This draws the chi and
blood there. After you feel the power flow to the Ming-Men, direct it down
the spine and legs to the Yuang Ch'uan. Press down on the ball so
that you feel the spines very distinctly. In severe cases it may take
a month or two to get the power into the Ming-Men and bring it
down to the Yuang-Ch'uan. If blood flows too strongly to the head during or after scrotal
compression, vent the power. Imbalanced force will flow out of the
body through these two points. After practicing the scrotal exer-
cises, many students open the microcosmic orbit so that their en-
ergy flows in a continuous circuit. This alone has often cured high
blood pressure. DIAGRAM 18

THE POWER LOCK EXERCISE FOR SEALING THE
SEMINAL FLUID
When you are well trained in this exercise you can use a variant of
it during sexual intercourse, known as the Big Draw. The power
locking method is done without a partner as a daily practice exer-
cise. The method is the best for building power in the perineum to
seal the seminal fluid. The sexual energy that we deal with here is
different from the testicle breathing and scrotal compression and
it's important to learn the subtle difference.84 Taoist Secrets Of Love
In the testicle breathing you move the cold sexual energy, the
ching chi that lies in the scrotum in its yin state after production by
the testicles, up to the head and then down into the body. With the
scrotal compression exercise you force the chi energy that is pro-
duced in the organs—heart, lungs, spleen, etc.—down to mix with
the cold ching chi resting in the sexual organs. Then you move the
resulting warm energy upwards and circulate it. In the Power Lock Exercise we arouse the sexual organ, turn-
ing the cold energy that lies in the seminal vascular duct into hot
sexual energy. This heat is generated by the movement of millions
of sperm cells. This yang energy is more explosive, harder to con-
trol, and always seeking the most direct path out to a cooler (yin)
environment. In most men the path of least resistance is out the
penis. In a Taoist master the easiest channel is up into the higher
centers of the body. But it takes a lot of practice to control the anus
muscle and the involuntary muscle around the seminal vascular
duct to reverse the flow towards the penis and to help push up the
sexual energy into the spine and upper body. There are 4 levels of Power Lock practice:
1. Beginner: use muscles of the fist, jaw, neck, feet, perineum,
buttocks, and abdomen to divert sexual tension and block the urge
to ejaculate, and push upward the hot ching chi which created the
aroused state. 2. Intermediate stage: less muscle use of the fist, jaw, feet, and
increased reliance on the pelvic diaphragm, and sphincter, sacral,
and cranial pump to help move up the sexual energy. 3. Advanced stage: less muscle in the perineum and more use of
sacral and cranial pumps. Greater power of mind to move the ching
to the crown center. By concentrating power at the upper part of
the crown you draw the energy from the lower center to the higher
center. 4. Most advanced stage: pure mind control only, no need to use the
muscle, just use the mind power to command the penis, and com-
mand the ching energy to move up and down, to be erect or flaccid,
as you will.The Dance Of The Testes 85

In this exercise, you need to arouse the penis about 90% of the
way to orgasmic ejaculation. Do not go beyond the point of no
return, or you will have no sperm chi to practice with for awhile. As you master the Power Lock you may fine tune how close you
come to ejaculation and stop at 98% or 99%. Rub the glans of the
penis until it is erect. When you have a feeling that orgasm is
imminent, stop and do the Power Locking method 3 to 9 times or
until the erection subsides. This counts as one exercise. Repeat
this procedure—stimulate penis to erection and then do the locking
until it subsides—as many as 3-9-18-36 times at a sitting. Practice makes perfect. Once you gain control of your sexual
organs totally in this practice, you will naturally have full control in
sexual intercourse. I recommend practicing up to 10,000 times in
order to gain advanced control, although some will naturally mas-
ter it much more quickly if they have trained their mind through
yoga, meditation, or other disciplines. If you are not involved in a
program of daily physical discipline, I suggest you at least do some
warmup exercises and stretching before practicing the Power
Lock. This will tone up the energy in your organs and make it
easier to feel your internal chi energies and thus hasten your com-
mand of your sexual energy. POWER LOCK EXERCISE: STEP BY STEP
1. Sitting position is the same as in Testicle Breathing—feet flat on
the floor, wear loose pants or naked from the waist down. Stimu-
late your penis to erection. Center your attention on your sexual
organs and the expanding energy in the penis and scrotum. 2. Inhale deeply through your nose when near orgasm. Simul-
taneously clench both fists, claw your feet down, make them feel
like vacuum pumps sucking at the floor. At the same time clench
your jaw, tighten the cranial pump at the back of your neck and
press your tongue firmly to the roof of your mouth. Inhale once
more and draw up the entire genital-anus region, concentrating on
the Hui-Yin (perineum), urogenital diaphragm, and especially the
penis. Pull the energy from the penis to the perineum by squeezing
as tightly as possible. Holding your breath, slowly count to 9 with
all muscles fully flexed. When you are out of breath, exhale and
release all muscles in the body. You may feel energy rush up and
down, especially in the sexual region.The Dance Of The Testes 87
After exercising for a week or two, you may actually begin to
feel the muscle contraction pull your penis up and in. The anus will
feel like it's closed super-tight. Unless indicated otherwise, all
breathing is to be done through the nose. Nasal breathing affords
better control of the air inhaled. It filters and warms the air and
supplies life-force of well balanced quality. The whole body must
relax on the exhale. Allow all tension to flow out of you as if you
were in meditation. Inhale, clench, and pull up repeatedly on your sexual region,
holding the energy at the perineum. The retention at the perineum
is very important. If you release your attention the hot energy will
drop down to the sexual organs or leak out to the penis. If you
release the energy it will drop down and you'll have to start again. Do this for at least one week. 3. Start with arousing the penis. Clench fists, feet, neck, and jaw,
on the inhale. Draw up the entire genital organs, diaphragm, anus,
and especially the penis, pull the hot energy up the perineum and
continue to draw it up to your coccyx. A little up from the bottom
tip of your spine. Feel it enter the hiatus opening in the sacrum. Activate your sacral pump by arching your lower back out-
ward in order to straighten the spine. This makes it easier for the
chi to rise. Hold the energy at the sacrum section, keep on inhaling
and pulling, inhaling and pulling in the sexual energy from the
sexual organs until you can feel the erection calm down. Some-
times it may need 3-9 inhalations with increasingly hard contrac-
tion. Squeezing the buttocks more tightly may help you force the
ching into the sacrum. When you're out of breath, exhale. Then
relax and let your sacrum and neck go back to their normal posi-
tions, this will help activate the two pumps. If you practiced the Testicle Breathing (or already opened
your microcosmic orbit), when you do the Power Lock it will be
much easier to get the hot sexual ching to enter the sacrum. Other-
wise this area is usually a little difficult to work through because
sperm chi energy is denser than other types of chi and has to be
pumped up. That's where the sacral pump comes in. Some people
experience pain, tingling, or "pins and needles" pain. When the
hot sexual energy enters the hiatus, don't be upset if it happens to
you. You can help the ching get past the coccyx if you're having
trouble with it by gently massaging the area with a silk cloth from
time to time.88 Taoist Secrets Of Love
4. If you to go up to through your sacrum, spend the next week
drawing the energy to T-ll on the spine, opposite your solar
plexus. Repeat the same procedure—arousing, clenching , and in-
haling. Pump up the energy up to the perineum, sacrum, then to the
T-ll, where you should retain it until it feels full of energy. It's
really open when you feel the ching itself. Again, because sperm
energy is denser than chi, you have to accommodate to it by bow-
ing your spine outward to straighten it to increase the pumping
action and allow for a freer passage of ching chi upward. DIAGRAM 20 Energy spirals in the brain

5. Your next stopping place is at your jade pillow. This is at the
back of your head, between C-l and the base of the skull. Do it in
the same manner as described—keep drawing up the energy up to
the perineum, sacrum, T-ll, and the base of the skull. The cranial
pump may fill with energy and pound furiously when the energy
first moves through. 6. The next stopping point for the energy is the Pai Hui, at the
crown of your head. Repeat the same process of arousing and
deflating your erection by drawing the energy up. Make sure you
tuck in your chin slightly and squeeze in the skull to further acti-
vate the upper cranial pump and keep the upper spine straight. Keep on pulling the energy to the top of your head until you get the
erection to subside. When the energy finally goes up into your head, you'll have
the very distinct feeling of warmth and tingling sensations from the
energy. The usual immediate response is that it feels good and
amazingly refreshing. Some people claim they can think more
clearly and are more creative; it's possible they are at a stage
where they can easily convert the ching chi into expanded con-
sciousness automatically. This sperm energy is later converted into
the original chi, the pure life-force, in the spiritual levels of Taoist
Yoga. When we get older we have used up so much of our brain
energy that the fluids gradually begin to dry up, and leave a cavity
in our head. The Power Lock helps to transport the sexual energy
to fill the cavity; instead of storing it in the scrotum it is stored in
the higher regions of the body/mind that can take immediate benefit
from it. Taoists regard the sexual energy as a creative energy that
can be transformed to any part of our vital organs, glands, or brain. Practice the Power Lock until you can pull up the sexual
energy from the penis to the head in one pipe. In the beginning you
can just go from one station to another. Later the back channel
(governor channel) will feel more open. Eventually you will be able
to put your mind in the testicles and at the crown of the head and
just bring the sexual energy from the testicles all the way up to the
brain. Take time to really feel the sexual energy when you practice. Don't rush it, and always keep those pumps going after the exer-
cise as you breath in and out. Gradually use more mind than phys-
ical pull when you do all this. Let the energy feeling be your guide. 7. When you feel the energy has filled the brain, concentrate on the
mid-eyebrow and bring it down through the nose and the palate and90 Taoist Secrets Of Love
down from the tongue to the throat center, heart center, solar
plexus, and then down into the navel. This circulation is aided by
the internal pressures created during the Power Lock. You press
the lower trunk energy into and up the spine. At the same time, you
press the energy in the upper body downward and hold the contrac-
tion as long as you can. When you exhale completely relax the
whole body. The natural direction of the chi is to continue in a
circle up the back of your body and down the front to the navel. Continue cycling the sexual energy in this way until your
erection subsides. In the beginning, and especially if your very
aroused sexually, it may take 3 to 9 such cycles to accomplish. But
after you've practiced for awhile, one such round is enough. 8. Perform 36 complete contractions in the morning and at night. Once you've got the hang of it, for the normal man 36 repetitions,
morning and night, should not be unduly strenuous. If you are very
aroused you will do fewer repetitions as each erection will take
longer to subside. With such intensity of training, you will easily
develop the muscle tone needed for effective seminal retention
within a month or two. How quickly you progress is not important;
what is essential is that you progress steadily. Rock bottom mini-
mum should be one round per day just to keep the habit. If you
happen to see a pretty woman or photograph that arouses you
during the day, you can instantly perform the Power Lock and
draw the energy up. Make sure your boss is not watching as he may
think you're having a seizure. The preferred times for these exercises are from eleven P.M.
until one A.M. or 11 A.M. until one P.M. During these periods the
tide of Yin Energy changes to Yang, and vice versa. The sun begins
to rise around midnight and starts to set around noon. At these
times the power flows very well. If you cannot practice during
these hours, don't be discouraged: you will definitely advance so
long as you exercise daily. 9. A final refinement to remember is that the lower contraction is
not centered in the stomach or abdominal region. We concentrate
on the front of the under trunk—the penis, perineum, and
urogenital diaphragm. Our goal is to so train these muscles that
they immovably dam up the seminal river. Then we will reverse the
river's flow and flood the body with restorative energy. Directing power from the upper and lower trunk toward the
center of the body pours energy into the navel region. Since theThe Dance Of The Testes 91
seminal fluid (like the blood) tends to follow the chi energy, the
navel, in effect, grips the seminal fluid and pulls it up into the body
through the spine. So contract the urogenital diaphragm as if you
were holding in a bladderful of urine. Lock the passage so tightly
that no internal urge can burst through the sealing rings of muscle. SAFETY POINTS FOR TESTICLE BREATHING, SCROTAL
COMPRESSION, AND POWER LOCK
1. Never lie flat on the back during these exercises. The power may
stick in the chest, causing considerable irritability and undue pres-
sure on the heart. 2. Never lie on the left side when practicing. This also stresses the
heart and overfills it with energy. 3. Never place any objects under your side while in the lying posi-
tion. This will bend the channel of energy and may cause back
pain. If any of the problems mentioned in points 1 to 3 arise, release
the energy safely by using the "Venting Exercise". Any pains or
discomfort should disappear within one week of beginning to vent. 4. Practice on an empty stomach whenever possible. In any event,
always wait one hour after eating. 5. Wear clothes or wrap yourself in a light blanket during this
practice. You will perspire if the exercises are done properly and
will suffer a chill if not covered. After practice change your clothes
so that you are removed from the moisture of the fabric. There
should be a gentle flow of clean air in the room. Avoid any drafts or
wind. Wind tends to blow the chi power away. It might cause your
energy to get cold easily. 6. Sweat should accumulate on the brow after five scrotal compres-
sions. As you advance, beads of sweat should stand on your brow
after three compressions. Rub this sweat into the skin: it has desir-
able properties which should be returned to the body. 7. Don't breathe through the mouth during these exercises. It is92 Taoist Secrets Of Love
easier to control the flow of air when breathing through the nose. Inhalation through the nose charges the air with energy and invigo-
rates the brain. 8. Do not be concerned if you feel little effect during the first days
of practice. Students need varying amounts of time before heat
flows from the testicles. 9. You must develop intense concentration. Keep the mind from
wandering. Allow thoughts and images to leave without following
them. Empty the vessel-of-the-mind of thoughts: powerful energy
will stream into the void. Your power of concentration will develop
greatly if you persist in this discipline. Learn the Microcosmic
Orbit Meditation and do it immediately after practicing the Power
Lock. 10. During practice close the eyes and follow the energy's path. The mind should not stray to thoughts or fantasies but strictly track
the course of the power. This may sound very difficult. You will be
amazed at how quickly you can become sensitive to your own
energy. When you experience these energies within yourself, you
will know exactly what we mean. Since the energy flows along
natural courses, it guides your mind even as your mind guides the
power. 11. Those who suffer from constipation should practice in the
morning, the regular hour of bowel movement. These exercises
will help greatly to remedy the problem. 12. For the method to be effective, you must not ejaculate for 30
days. After ejaculatory orgasm, the body must begin anew to ac-
cumulate enough chi pressure in the testes. If you have not learned
to hold in the seed during intercourse, refrain from sex during this
30 day period. In this manner you will experience the full power of
the method. Of course, I am not opposed to your desire to have sex. I
merely inform you that your progress will be retarded if you ejacu-
late. Begin learning now to sacrifice ejaculatory pleasure for
greater pleasures to come. When you have accomplished these
scrotal exercises with proficiency, you may more quickly masterThe Dance Of The Testes 93
retention of the vital seed during love making. This is the main
teaching of Sexual Kung Fu. CLEANSING SIDE EFFECTS
1. It has been my experience that many students of this method
soon begin to move their bowels with unaccustomed ease. 2. If you are infected with venereal disease, thoroughly cure your-
self before engaging in this exercise. Otherwise the pain will be
quite severe when you draw so much blood and power to the pubic
region. 3. Some will pass an unusual amount of gas for a time and move the
bowels two or three times per day. In this way the body uses its
new resources to thoroughly cleanse and purify itself by com-
pletely natural means. The unusual number of evacuations and the
gas cease within one or two months. 4. This purgative detoxification is followed by regular bowel move-
ments and a deep sense of bodily purity and strength. The saliva
becomes lighter and sweeter. Improvement in bowel function
arises from the increased flow of vital energy into the entrails. This
energizes the involuntary muscles and allows them to function with
ease. There may also be a noticeable increase in burping, which is a
healthy exhalation of impurities and noxious gas within the body. Burping also lessens after a time with the body much refreshed. 5. The Power Lock is excellent for curing hemorrhoids. Hemor-
rhoids are caused by sedentary life styles, accumulated heavy tox-
ins, gravitational pooling of blood, stressful bowel movements, and
depressed levels of chi energy in the Hui-Yin. In already existing
hemorrhoids, the Power Lock may cause increased bleeding for
two to four weeks. If the bleeding is not excessive, perform the
exercise at Vi strength. You will gradually be cured. The exercise
remedies specific causes of hemorrhoids. It evacuates stagnant
blood from the anal blood vessels. While performing the Power
Lock as a cure for hemorrhoids, you may use medication to speed
the healing process. Horsetail Grass, Equisetum Narvensis, is an
excellent remedy used as a tea and in Sitz baths. People who have
serious hemorrhoid problems should consult your doctor first.94 Taoist Secrets Of Love
SUMMARY OF TESTICLE BREATHING
1. Choose your preferred position. Standing is well-suited to this
form. Relax the whole body and concentrate on the testes. 2. Think the testes to rise in the scrotum as you inhale. Let them
sink slowly as you exhale. Practice 36 to 108 breaths. 3. Relax: do not use muscular force. Keep the tongue on the palate,
and feel the cool yin energy of the sexual fluids rise up your spine. SUMMARY OF SCROTAL COMPRESSION
1. Choose your preferred position. 2. Breathe in very slowly through the nose, concentrating on the
throat. Compress the air in the throat until you can inhale no fur-
ther. 3. Swallow strongly to the solar plexus and hold the air there as if it
were a ball. 4. Press the ball of air down to the navel region. 5. From the navel press the ball of air down to the pelvic region. 6. Press the ball strongly and continuously into the scrotum until
you can hold your breath no longer. At the end of your breath
capacity swallow the saliva strongly. 7. Rest by taking quick, shallow breaths through the nose. 8. Relax by rotating the waist several times. 9. Start with 5 repetitions and increase slowly to 36 at a sitting. 10. Keep the tongue up to the palate.The Dance Of The Testes 95
POWER LOCK IS THE BASIS FOR ALCHEMICAL SEX
Though they may appear elementary, the exercises in this chapter
are highly refined techniques for increasing vital power. They rep-
resent the essential Taoist breathing technique. They are like sharp
swords which must be used with care to perform their functions
without harming oneself. If you follow my instructions closely, you
will not suffer any distressing side-effects. Study the methods with
seriousness, assimilate every line of the text. Persist until you have
succeeded. These methods are received from many Taoist masters. The
breathing exercises in this chapter, for example, synthesize the
teaching of four Masters. Each believed his Method the supreme
secret and had notable results with his breathing technique alone. Nothing will come of nothing. You must spend time in prac-
tice to reap the benefits. An ounce of practice is worth a ton of
theory. Modern life affords little time for anything but getting and
spending. You must be willing to surrender a part of time to speed-
ily advance. The practice must become part of your daily routine. You will make some progress if you do the exercise more often
than not. But if you practice as regularly as jumping from bed in the
morning, progress will be swift, and chi will begin to build in your
upper body which you should collect at your navel. To make full use of the ching gathered at the navel requires
study of the Taoist methods of meditation. Slightly below the navel
is the lower "tan tien" center, the lower field of energy in the body
within which the Taoists store chi before refining it back upward. The chi moves in circles between the lower, middle, and upper tan
tiens, and each time it spirals past it is refined into higher quality of
chi. The process of refinement and balancing of the energy is
taught in the Microcosmic Orbit, the Fusion of Five Elements, and
the Lesser Enlightenment of Kan and Li courses. It's not unlike taking crude honey mixed with wax and dirt
and dead bees and methodically refining it into the sweetest of
nectars. The Taoists treat sperm like raw honey. The Power Lock
is the step of preventing the raw honey from leaking out of an old
bucket and storing it an a new and well-sealed jar. This jar was
placed at the level of the navel about two-thirds the way back
towards the spine, and was called by the ancient masters the
"cauldron". In this cauldron they mixed and cooked the different96 Taoist Secrets Of Love
chi energies of the body in a process they called "alchemy"—the
precursor of modern chemistry. The secret alchemical agent they used was nothing more than
ordinary sexual "essence", your ching. But without it, none of the
higher levels of alchemical meditation work. So these simple Sex-
ual Kung Fu exercises—Testicle Breathing, Scrotal Compression,
and Power Lock—may seem simple and too rudimentary to effect
spiritual development, but their proper mastery is essential before
you can move on to loving a woman with full command of your
sexual and spiritual powers. Your sexual essence is an elixir of life
and the fountain of your youth, and is worth training vigorously to
safeguard. Scrotal Compression, and Power Lock—may seem simple

POLARITY IS THE KEY TO TRANSFORMING
SEX ENERGY
"Sexual interaction is comparable to water and fire. Water and fire
can kill man or help him, depending on how they are used. —Pao, the plain master
To be a Taoist is to experience life as a harmonious flow of life
energy. In the traditional Taoist terms, this flow in humans is from
"chi", to "ching", to "shien"—from breath to sex essence to
spirit. It flows both visibly and invisibly, in a never ending cycle, as
it circulates within you, between you and the world, and between
Heaven and Earth with man in the middle. It is the blood that flows
between heart and kidney, the love (and hate) that passes between
man and woman, the storms and sunshine that circulates between
sky and earth. Many people drown in this flow of life; they are simply over-
whelmed by it. Some can't "get" enough flow and feel cheated or
bitter. Others drift aimlessly without purpose, alienated and un-
aware there is a flow. Regardless of your attitude toward life,
nearly everyone seeks at some point, to anchor themselves in a
love relationship. Such is the power of the flow of ching chi, of
sexual essence between man and woman. This much is obvious. What is also obvious but is almost always overlooked is the polar-
ity between male and female, and the subtle flow between their two
magnetic poles.98 Taoist Secrets Of Love
This polar exchange is overlooked because the flow is invisi-
ble to the physical eye, and because its workings are often too
subtle for the uncultivated mind to perceive. That is why Taoists
study the workings of chi, ching chi, and shien. These energies,
also called the three treasures of life, are the subtle language of life,
and to speak in them properly takes years of practice and refine-
ment. At first approach it may seem like learning a foreign lan-
guage. But after a few lessons you quickly realize you were born
speaking this language and merely forgot the subtle grammar of chi
energy while being intensively schooled by parents and teachers in
more mental subjects.Polarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy 99
This flow of energy between opposite poles of male and
female is the key to harmonizing the flow of energy in one's life. It
is the simplest and most basic secret, not only of the Taoist masters
but of every esoteric tradition. It is the key to mastering the Taoist
secrets of love. It's simple because its based on the natural law of
the universe—that positive and negative forces attract and bond
with each other. Its as true for a simple pair of magnets locking
together as it is of the protons and electrons locked into the dance
of subatomic particles that form the atom. The Taoists called this
polarity yin and yang, terms that have become popular today in the
field of holistic health, but are not well understood in terms of their
functioning in sexuality. One way the Taoists describe it is with the simple metaphor of
cooking. Yang is fire and yin is water. Man is the fire, and woman
is the water. When man makes love with a woman, he cooks the
woman's water (in her womb) with his fire (penis). The woman is
almost always sexually stronger, for her water puts out the male
fire; his erection loses its flame. Yin, the soft and yielding, always
conquers yang, the hard. In the same way water (rivers are yin, or
female) triumphs over solid rock. Thus a stream slowly wears away
a giant mountain and carves the Grand Canyon a mile deep. YIN AND YANG: BATTLE OF THE SEXES
This battle between yin and yang is seemingly endless, just like the
never ending battle between the sexes. In fact, the Taoist sages
also used the metaphor of combat to elucidate the act of sexual
love. For some men love is a passionate struggle for domination
and surrender; to the Taoists it was more a lawful play of op-
posites. Ideally you enter the battle of the sexes with a spirit of
gamesmanship. You approach not with the intention of defeating
your lover, but in the hope of matching her grace and receptive
energy with the exact complementary male skill and force. Unfortunately, few men today seem to proceed with such tact
in love-making; as a result, most are beaten soundly within minutes
by the woman. This failure is due to tactical ignorance of both the
male sex organs and the nature of sexual energy. Misunderstanding
of love's strategic laws is so widespread that a myth has developed
that the average man cannot fully satisfy a passionate woman. In fact, the average man can unfailingly satisfy his mate when100 Taoist Secrets Of Love
he learns to discipline his forces. Untutored man's nature is to
attack: he possesses the offensive weapon. Woman's is to defend:
she protects without exhausting herself. When man assaults
furiously and discharges the sperm, he crumbles. Yet the woman
may remain most eager to continue, even if she kindly denies it and
thus "spares" her opponent. To pursue the martial metaphor of the Chinese. . . . The
woman's shield and short sword is her vagina and clitoris. Man is
armed with a long spear alone, his penis. If man attacks too vio-
lently with his love weapon, woman easily fends off his thrusts and
does him in when he exhausts his seed. But if man remains beyond
woman's striking range, she drops the shield from fatigue. The
contest will be over before man has lost his vehicle of higher vi-
tality. The point is this: Man must stop throwing away his sexual
energies. When he stops the sperm loss, woman is no longer in a
position of superiority. She meets her match and no longer suffers
disappointment. Man doesn't exhaust himself and retreat in humili-
ation, yet feels he has met a good match. Woman reaches the limits
of her erotic capacities and is ready to make real peace with her
opponent. The sages thus advise you to use your tactical weapons first. Hold the strategic one in reserve. In other words, use the finger,
tongue and other parts of the body before using the penis. Through
tender and skillful use of your other limbs in foreplay, you may
bring your partner to a state of very high receptivity as the first step
in gaining equality with a superior opponent. Her breasts will rise, respiration and glandular secretion will
increase. You should wait till fluid rolls to the vaginal lips before
using your chief arm. Give your lover time to fully enter the condi-
tion of love before you enter her. The battle between man and woman is over when both recog-
nize that neither can "win" by either dominating or submitting. At
that moment, both become free to surrender to each other and
exchange their deepest love—their vulnerabilities have been
matched and their fear of losing is neutralized.Polarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy 101
HIGHER ORGASM IS A DELICATE BALANCE
OF POLAR ENERGIES
But how to reach that point of tenderness, where both lovers
joyously yield and receive life from one another? It sounds great on
paper, but what happens to tense energies left over from a tough
day at work and an argument with your wife about whether she
should go back to work? How do you keep daily politics out of the
bedroom? This chapter will offer some practical ways to approach
love-making with the goal of balancing the flow of yin and yang
power. But first understand the principle of polarity is dominant in
this sexual practice. The single most important point to remember about polarity is
that yin and yang energies are not separate energies: they are one
and the same energy, but with two different charges. They never
exist apart from one another, but are always in fluid motion, like a
pendulum swinging back and forth, passing from hot to cold, and
gradually moving to stillness at the perfect moderate temperature. Another metaphor is to see man and women as two sides of the
same coin. During love, the coin spins rapidly, fusing the two sides
into one. That is how man and woman can become "one": they simply
realize the flow of sexual energy between them is continuous and
belongs to them both. Each lover is at opposite ends of the polar
flow. When the exchange of ching chi reaches a certain intensity
and balance the solid bodies of the two lovers begin pulsating as if
charged with electricity. The feeling of having solid flesh disap-
pears. You are suddenly a pillar of vibrating energy held in ex-
quisite balance by your lover's field of energy. This is a total
orgasm of body and soul. The battling ego shrinks to its true size, a
tiny grain of sand, and reluctantly begins humming in chorus with
the ocean of the subtle universe that rhythmically washes over it. Many men may have a glimpse of this, but few are able to
sustain the experience because they discharge the energy from
their half of the polar field by ejaculating. This is not true orgasm; it
is merely releasing the discomfort, the exquisite "itch" of too
much excited energy that has nowhere to move but out. A true orgasm occurs when both man and woman continue to
pulsate together. Their sexual energy completes a full circuit be-
tween their two magnetic poles, charging each of them more fully102 Taoist Secrets Of Love
than before. This circle is the Tao, the black and white teardrop
symbols of yin and yang flowing into each other in perfect circular
harmony. The flow of sex energy alone cannot complete this circle; love
must be present. The mind must participate in sex with a totally
attentive feeling. This circle of energy cannot connect if a man only
joins his penis with a woman's vagina without loving her with his
heart. That is like holding the ends of two horse shoe magnets close
and then only touching one arm from each magnet. The other arm
also wants to connect, to seal the magnetic attraction. Only when
both positive and negative poles of both the man and the woman
are locked in place can the energy flow with any power and stable
balance. That is why sex alone, without love makes you unhappy—
you're only connecting one half of yourself to the woman, and your
lower half at that. The flow of chi in the Tao's circle is broken, and
without that total flow between yin and yang no amount of sex will
satisfy your deeper desire for wholeness. The ejaculatory orgasm to which most men are so deeply
attached restricts their life force to the genitals. During sex the
penis literally bursts with life, as it is too small to contain the
expanding sexual force. The penis was not designed to hold your
life-force anymore than it was designed to be your brain and central
nervous system. The real function of your penis is to conduct life
into and out of the body. The sex organs are only doors through
which life enters and issues forth. When the upper poles of men and women are connected—at
the heart and mouth—as well as the genitals, then the magnet can
become an electro-magnetic dynamo. Then the chi can nourish the
ching chi in the lower half of the body, and combine together to be
transformed into spirit in the upper half. If both man and woman
cultivate their chi upward, and refine it to a high level through
meditation and love, they can develop a polarity which creates a
super magnet and conducts even higher spiritual energies through
their human form. Such experiences break through the bounds of
individual pleasure and sensation, and go beyond the satisfaction
of their personal egos to attain an entirely different state of being. Perhaps you know a couple who is radiantly happy and deeply
loving and do not practice any esoteric method of love-making and
who you assume ejaculate and have orgasm to their heart's con-
tent. You are right to ask—why bother learning these seeminglyPolarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy

complicated and time-consuming Taoists exercises and methods of
sex energy transformation? Why not just love your woman the way
you know now, and let nature take its own course? Why meddle
with the one pleasure that above all others should be free of school-
ing? The simplest answer is that Taoists are trying to help nature
take its course within humans, not to alter its basic processes. The
radiant and loving couple you know could be doubly radiant and
live 10 or 20 years longer in good health to enjoy their love if they
conserved their ching chi and practiced the transformation of the
sex energy. Perhaps their radiant happiness is more dependant on104 Taoist Secrets Of Love
external circumstances than you are aware—a good job, preoc-
cupation with children, etc. Will they appear so radiant in old age? Is it progressing to more subtle levels? The Taoist love techniques
serve to speed up, intensify and stabilize your natural evolution. There is no limit to the scale of good health and profoundity of love
possible. At the higher levels there are always new spiritual chal-
lenges to be met. The balance of polarity moves beyond the poles
of man and woman and you become aware of the play of opposites
between Heaven and Earth. The Taoists know this high level of harmony is a tangible
experience that can be permanently known to man, they call it
Immortality. They prepare for it by conserving their sex energy
and harmonising their spirit with their lover. In this way love-
making becomes, in western terms, a way to draw nearer to God. It
can become the worship of divinity in the temple of your lover's
body and soul. PREPARE THE YIN ESSENCE WITH GENTLENESS
As the man, it is your responsibility to see that your lover's organs
are literally first warmed. This is the Taoist way of harmonizing the
yin essence, of increasing her receptive power to love-making. Her
vital organs—kidney, liver, heart, lungs, spleen/pancreas—actu-
ally produce and refine the chi needed for love-making. If her inner
organs are weak or feeling sick, the music of your love-making will
be discordant or heavy no matter how good you are feeling. To
hear the music of the celestial spheres you must learn to orches-
trate her feelings and sensations with your own. Generally, it takes
longer for her organs to warm up and get into fine tune than it does
a man. To return to the simple Chinese metaphor, think of woman as
water and man as fire. A man can light his fire quickly but if he
burns up his wood too soon the pot of water won't have time to
boil. The water will warm more slowly than the fire. So the man
should conserve his firewood while slowly warming up the
woman's water. Observe the basic rule of cooking: don't put your
carrots and peas (your penis and testicles) in the pot before the
water is already about to boil. A lot of men don't know this, since
they have little experience in cooking. If you toss the carrot and
peas in a pot while the water is cold, the carrots absorb cookingPolarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy 105
heat and it takes the pot of water much longer to heat. The carrots
also don't cook as well this way, and may turn out soggy and not as
tasty. So its best to wait until the water in the woman's womb is
about to boil before beginning intercourse. The traditional Taoist
texts mention nine things to look for in a woman as a sign she is
truly ready for the man: A woman's energy goes through nine
stages as her organs begin to warm and release their harmonious
chi. It was described by the Mysterious Lady, a sex consultant to
the Yellow Emperor of China nearly two thousand years ago:
1. Her chi is in her lungs when she begins to breathe rapidly. 2. The energy has moved to her heart when she kisses the
man. 3. She hugs the man: chi is in the spleen. 4. Her vagina grows moist: chi is in the kidneys and genitals. 5. She moves her pelvis and bites gently: chi has penetrated
the bones. 6. Her legs grab tight around the man: chi is in the muscles. 7. She caresses the penis: chi is in the blood. 8. She kisses with deep passion: chi has arrived in her skin
and flesh. 9. She surrenders herself and moans in ecstasy: chi has en-
tered the liver and released her spirit. She is truly ready to
receive the man and exchange her yin essence with his
yang essence. The purpose of waiting until the woman is fully ready will
become clear when you practice the semen retention technique
taught in the next chapter. The man and woman begin to "steam
up" the sexual essence, the ching chi, but if the pot is not properly
prepared and the temperature is wrong, it will be difficult to suc-
cessfully transform the sex essence into spirit. If the man lets his
fire go out (by ejaculating his seminal fluids) before the woman is
ready to begin the steaming process, then it will be impossible to
refine the male and female essence together into a single nectar. THE ART OF PASSION: TIMING AND FREQUENCY
The number of times of intercourse bears little relation to the satis-
faction and happiness of lovers. A woman may be very well
pleased with one round or totally uninspired with fifteen. The point106 Taoist Secrets Of Love
is to love her with irresistible tenderness from the start. Try to enter neither too early nor too late. If you are too early,
you may tire before she has reached the peak of her desire. If you
are too late, you will miss the heights of her pleasure. Enter at the
proper moment and satisfy her the first time. Just as you should not eat until you're stuffed, so you should
not make love until you're exhausted. You should slightly desire
food after a meal, and you should still desire your lover after
you've lain with her. A Taoist master of love strives for harmony
by curbing excessive greed. Sometimes less is more. Don't satiate
your sexual desire, or it will turn into distaste. Extreme yang (ex-
pansion) gives birth to yin (retreat). Unless your lover is very
highly-sexed, once a day seven days per week will be too much for
her if you are a Seminal Kung Fu Man. If she doesn't consciously
inhibit her orgasm, her appetite for daily loving will decline. The
macho myth of "giving it to her umpteen times" is an attempt to
cover futility in a haze of supposedly impressive numbers. There
are very few partners who will not be richly pleased by one beau-
tiful act of intercourse. Many will experience several orgasms in
one long loving. SEX POSITION AFFECTS THE FLOW OF ENERGY
I say little about sexual position because there are many other
works available on this subject. The most thorough text with lavish
illustrations is Sexual Secrets by Nik Douglas and Penny Slinger
(Inner Traditions, New York). This text shows over 30 classic
Taoist positions for making love and also includes the special pos-
tures for healing various illnesses. The essential key to choice of
posture is governed by the hidden laws of energy flow. Remember
these two points and you can create any energy you desire:
1. To relax and harmonize, place like to like: belly to belly,
hand to hand, mouth to mouth, open eyes to open eyes, etc. 2. To stimulate and excite, place together unlikes: mouth to
genitals, genitals to anus, open eyes to closed eyes, etc. The art of
love is to interweave stimulating and harmonizing positions into a
sublime dance.Polarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy 107
THE COLD WATER SKINNY DIP FOR PREMATURE
EJACULATION
Once you have fully aroused the woman, you will be ready to enter
her. You will be quite hard and prepared to leap in. Should you
enter her with your penis at maximum size? Maybe. If you are an
accomplished Taoist lover, you may enter when you please. You
will have developed a degree of self-mastery that gives you perfect
freedom in love. But if you are just beginning to control your
passions, you may prefer to cool down somewhat. One extraordinary procedure for those who are too quick on
the trigger requires a bowl of cold water. The technique is simply to
dip you penis into the cold water until erection has diminished
about 50%. This should take only a few moments. Then count
slowly to 30, thinking of nothing but counting itself. During this
time continue to caress the woman. After your brief swim you may please her greatly by stirring
the penis around the outside of the vagina. While whirling, you
may again count to 30. Slowly breath deeply while stirring. Your
partner's entire body will ache to receive you. When you finally
introduce yourself, she feels as if the world flowed into her. Unlike the stereotypical macho brute, you have not coughed
forth your vitality shortly after entry. When others are dead, you
are just being born inside of her. Your partner has already been
mounting for quite some time. You are beginning to climb. The
goal is not to climb just one peak together, but an entire series of
mountains, each higher and with a more spectacular view than the
previous peak. An ambitious journey requires some disciplined
training—but it will be fun to train with your lover in bed. THE CENTURY COUNT: BUILD YOUR STAYING POWER
This useful mind control technique is a breath exercise. Slowly
count from one to one hundred. Let no extraneous thought enter
your mind. Coordinate deep, harmonious breathing into your lower
abdomen with the counting. Count a complete inhalation and ex-
halation as one. This is not nearly so easy as it may sound. Most people have
difficulty counting from one to ten without wandering. When the108 Taoist Secrets Of Love
mind strays, begin the count over till reaching 100 with no random
thought. This method of calming the agitated spirit will greatly help you
develop the self-control to pull back from ejaculation. If you've not
practised relaxing, you will have difficulty resisting the urge to
release the seed. Practice the 100 breaths twice daily. After a period of serious
practice you should be able to clear the mind and calm most violent
agitation with few breaths from the depths of the pelvic diaphragm. The Cold Water Skinny Dip may be used by those readers
who have difficulty exercising any degree of self-control at all. It is
a simple mechanical technique to help you begin to exercise self-
restraint. The Century Count will help you actually learn to command
the penis to cool off when too hot. To retain the semen you must be
able to withdraw excess heat from the genital region at will. With
regular practice you will prevent ejaculation far more easily than
seemed possible but a short time before. It is an important step
toward the higher forms of esoteric love. Esoteric knowledge alone
is useless or worse, for it may engender a complacency that pre-
cludes doubt, or experimentation with real people and events. Knowledge with living application through practice is the goal of
this work. The Taoist approach is fundamentally practical. Most books claiming to improve the art of loving literally bury
the reader under a bewildering variety of second-rate methods. It is
better to learn a few excellent methods in greater detail. I am
familiar with many other techniques, but my experience has shown
a student fails in this practice if his mind is overloaded with infor-
mation. A boxer who knows 20 different punches usually falls be-
fore one who knows two or three punches that he has honed to
perfection. First master the fundamental principles, by "getting"
the energy inside your body using these techniques, then improvise
as you will in bed. The finger, tongue, penis each has its own unique character. The penis may give supreme union, but it is dangerous for the
beginner to overuse. Until you've gained a degree of self-control,
reserve it for strategic interludes. When woman is well-prepared, a
mere touch of the penis is more satisfying than many passionate
strokes of intercourse without proper foreplay. Ripeness is all. There is more taste and nourishment in onePolarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy 109
ripe apple than in ten green ones. Only the woman ripened for
reception of the penis can adore your male yang essence with her
every cell. THE FOUR ATTAINMENTS OF THE JADE STALK
In order to harmonize fully with a woman who is going through the
nine stages of arousal, the man will naturally pass different phases
of arousal before entering her. The Yellow Emperor is said to have
asked: "If I wish to make love but fail to gain erection, is it wise to
force intercourse?" The Mysterious Lady replied, "No, it is not wise. The Jade
Stalk (penis) should first pass the Four Attainments before inter-
course will be proper." Naturally the Emperor asked, "What are
the Four Attainments?" "If the Jade Stalk is not able to erect", she replied, "the yin
and yang energy is not in harmony. Firmness is the first attain-
ment. If the Jade Stalk erects, but is not swollen, the chi is insuffi-
cient in the blood. Swelling is the second attainment. If the man's
Jade Stalk is swollen, but not hard, his chi has not penetrated to his
bones. Hardness is the third attainment. Finally, if the Jade Stalk is
hard but not hot, the vital energy has not reached the man's spirit. Heat is the fourth attainment. It is far more important to have a small but hard penis than it
is for a man to have a large but semi-soft penis. That is why no man
has any true biological advantage over another in sex. Anyone can
cultivate his internal energy to a high level of intensity regardless of
the outer appearance of his body. Other practices like Iron Shirt
Chi Kung, Tai Chi Chi Kung, and meditation all help develop a
high level of chi cultivation where energy can be passed or ex-
changed with a woman without using a penis as the channel of
transmission. A light touch of your hand, a glance, or a thought will
suffice to send the energy. But even this would not make the penis
obsolete, as there are always more refined levels of love-making to
be enjoyed. You can observe your own penis to know the level of your
arousal. What if you have not reached the highest level of having a
rock hard penis radiating tremendous heat, but the woman is ready
to receive you? I suggest you enter her and pass the other attain-
ments of the Jade Stalk while making love. You can do this110 Taoist Secrets Of Love
safely—without ejaculating—while inside her by using the Power
Locking or Big Draw. However, it is very tempting to release your
seed when your penis reaches this degree of arousal, so in the
beginning you may need to lock your seed in before reaching the
fourth attainment. THE NINE SHALLOW/ONE DEEP THRUSTING METHOD
There are a great number of thrusting methods. The Kama Sutra
alone offers many different ones. We suggest a powerful method,
which we consider among the "cream of the crop." Our method is
based on the number, NINE, a figure of great importance in Taoist
practice considered a powerful yang energy. The essence of this thrusting technique is to go nine shallow
and one deep. The one deep thrust, besides varying sensory stim-
ulation, forces the air out of the vagina. This allows you to create a
vacuum inside her with the nine shallow thrusts which follow. You
never withdraw completely: this would break the vacuum seal. Rather, you hover at those outermost inches of the vagina which
are covered with a dense net of nerves. The nine shallow, one deep rhythm delights your partner. The
vacuum has tremendous effect: she feels empty then full, empty
then full. This pause pleases because you constantly refresh her
senses with change. When we eat our fill, we want no more. But
one delicious taste (the deep thrust) increases desire. We satisfy
then stimulate desire. We create desire than renew satisfaction. The other reason that shallow thrusts satisfy is that the
woman's most sensitive area is about one inch inside her vagina on
the upper wall. This point connects a vast network of nerves in the
sexual organs with the rest of her body. This is known as the G-
spot, after Graffenberg, the scientist who discovered it, and is also
the site from which females ejaculate a fluid when highly aroused. The Taoists consider this fluid also to be highly charged with her
essence that is absorbed directly into the head of the penis glans. Continue going nine shallow, one deep until accomplishing
nine full sets. The number of short thrusts thus totals 81, another
potent number. At first you may go 3, then 6 cycles before building
up to the 9. This potency will be increased if you swallow her saliva
every time you pause for a deep thrust. This fluid is highly charged
with her yin essence and will balance your expanding yang energy.Polarity is the Key To Transforming Sex Energy

On reaching this goal, you may rest or use the more sophisticated
techniques found in Chapter 8, The Secret of Semen Retention. Once you have relaxed and removed surplus electricity from
the testes, recommence active thrusting. You are in an extremely
pleasurable state, calm yet able to keep the seminal fluid and erec-
tile power through another series of thrusts. Then rest again. You may prefer to thrust in slowly and to depart more
quickly. This way is well adapted to woman's deep-seated nature. Enter slowly because she grows aroused more slowly than man. Untaught man is quick to begin and quick to finish. *
Since she must make life, she naturally begins and ends over a
greater period of time. Man must consciously accommodate him-
self to woman's primoridial rhythm. With reverence light the sa-
cred candles in her thighs. If she is taken too abruptly, the flush of pleasure has insuffi-
cient time to spread over her entire nervous system, Sensation
remains fixed in the genitals. Think of it this way: when you pinch
yourself for a second or two, only the spot actually between your
fingers feels the sensation.

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        In Taoist practice we regard this as a mini pump, where
your arch will create a vacuum to push up the energy higher. 6. Your next stopping place is at your jade pillow. This is at the
back of your head, between C-l and the base of the skull. Do it in
the same manner as discribed by inhale-exhale at the testicle and
keep on pumping up the energy up to perineum sacrum, T-11 and
the base of skull. In this area is a place to store the energy for
further use. 7. Your next stopping point is Pai Hui, at the crown of your head. Do it in the same manner only this time fill the straw to the top. Tilt
the sacrum to the back in order to straighten the curve out a little
bit to help activate the pump action. This gets the lower pumping
going. At the same time you tuck in your chin a little and squeeze
the back of your skull, it will activate the upper cranial pump. Keep
on pulling up to the point dead center on top of the head. 8. When the energy finally goes up into your head, men will have
the very distinct feeling that it's spinning and usually in a clockwise
direction, as you look up. If you're alert you can count 36 revolu-
tions. It should feel good and refreshing; the extra energy should
help your creative power and improve your memory. You can
think more clearly, and are at the beginning stage of controlling78 Taoist Secrets Of Love
your sexual urges or frustrations. This sperm energy is later con-
verted into chi, the original life force, in the spiritual levels of
Taoist yoga. When people get older they've used up so much of
their chi that the brain energy and spinal fluid gradually drain out
and dry up, leaving a cavity. The testicle breathing transports the
sexual energy to fill the cavity and vitalize the brain. Taoists regard
the sexual energy as very close to the brain energy. 9. Finally you can bring the sexual energy from the testes up to the
head in one sweet draw up the straw, a single clean inhale. In the
beginning you can just go from station to station, till you feel the
back channel (governor channel) is more open. Eventually you will
be able to put your mind in the testicles and the crown of the head
and just mentally move the sexual energy from the testicles up all
the way to the brain. 10. Take your time to really feel the "cold" when you practice. Don't rush it, and always keep those pumps going as you breath in
and out. Use more mind than physical pull when you do all this. Let the "cold" feeling be your guide. Work at it too hard and you'll
heat up the "cold" ching. You won't be able to safely store this hot
energy in your brain. DIAGRAM 16

THE GOLDEN NECTAR
When your head is filled with sperm energy the excess ching may
spontaneously combust with the chi in your higher centers and spill
over into the Microcosmic Orbit and flow down through your pal-
ate and down the tongue. This will taste different to different
people. It's generally called the Golden Nectar but it can taste like
champagne, honey, coconut juice, or fragrance of all kinds of
things, or it can simply feel like a warm tingling sensation on your
tongue. This exercise, the "Dance of the Testes", may be performed
anywhere: in the subway or car, at your desk or television, in bed,
etc. The main consideration is that the back be properly straight,
chest relaxed, and scrotum hanging freely. It is highly desirable to use the testicle breathing to tone the
pelvic diaphragm. The whole lower abdomen is deeply massaged
each time the pelvic diaphragm flexes. Life force flows into the
region through periodic waves of breath which stimulate the glands
and vital organs. COMPRESSING THE AIR INTO THE SCROTUM INCREASES
SEXUAL POWER
Many benefits of the Testicle Breathing are magnified when per-
formed in conjunction with the Scrotal Compression exercise. This
exercise reduces the incidence of nocturnal emission and pre-
mature ejaculation. It lessens the chance of hernia. It helps you
calm down when sexually over-excited by teaching you to con-
sciously direct energy into and out of the pelvic region. It builds
your sexual power dynamically by using the vital chi taken from air
and packing its charge into your ching chi. Of the three suggested positions, sitting or standing are prefer-
able. Inhale a fairly large amount of air into the throat and swallow
the air. Swallowing drives the air down to the solar plexus. From
this center it will be driven down to the testes. This is accom-
plished by contracting the abdominal muscles downward in a slow
wave. From the solar plexus the air is rolled down into the pelvic
region. From there it is compressed into the testes. When the air is
driven into the testes you experience a flush of heat. The testes80 Taoist Secrets Of Love
seem to expand, and after a short time the power driven into them
flows up the spine to the head, which also becomes very warm. SCROTAL COMPRESSION EXERCISE: STEP BY STEP
1. Sit on the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the floor about
a shoulder apart. Wear loose pants or wear nothing from your waist
down, so your testicles literally hang out. 2. Inhale through the nostrils into the throat. From there swallow
the air down to the solar plexus, midway between your heart and
your navel. Imagine the air as a ball. 3. First the ball sits behind the solar plexus. From this point roll it
down to the navel. Then into the pelvis and scrotum. 4. Forcibly compress the air into the scrotum for as long as you can
do so. The minimum period for each compression should be 30 to
40 seconds. Slowly work up to at least one minute. Every single
scrotal compression shoots tremendous energy into the testes. With compression of an entire minute the exercise takes full effect. The anal sphincter and perineum muscle must be squeezed tight
during this exercise to prevent leakage of energy. 5. When you have finished the compression, exhale and relax com-
pletely. If saliva accumulates in the mouth during compression,
swallow it before exhaling.
The purpose of this exercise is to transport the sperm energy to the head, where it can be converted into chi, the original life force.
What is the purpose of the "Dance of the Testes" exercise?
The recommended frequency is 36-108 breaths, and the duration is not specified, but it's mentioned that the exercise should not be rushed, and the practitioner should take their time to feel the "cold" sensation.
What is the recommended frequency and duration of the Power Lock exercise?
The Venting Exercise is used to release excess energy in the head, which can cause tension and pressure, and to redirect it towards the desired path.
What is the significance of the "Venting Exercise" in the Power Lock?
Proper breathing is crucial, as it allows the practitioner to control the flow of energy and prevent it from leaking out of the body. It is also important to focus on the sensation of the energy and not to rush the process.
What is the importance of proper breathing during the Power Lock?
According to Taoist principles, the approach to sex should be one of mutual respect and understanding, with the goal of creating a harmonious flow of energy between the partners. The Taoist approach emphasizes the importance of self-control, mutual respect, and the need to harmonize the flow of yin and yang energies.
