5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent translations on sexual alchemy.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Art of the Bedchamber The Chinese Sexual Yoga Classics Including Women's Solo Meditation Texts (Paperback)
This is a compendium of translations of over 20 classic Chinese texts on Taoist esoteric sexual practice. For those with this particular interest, I highly recommend it. There's no other book like it.This is not a `new-age relationships' book, nor a `light-reading sex-tips' book; it's a scholarly and faithful set of translations of Taoist texts originating from the second century B.C. through the early 1700's. These might be rather heady for the beginner, but if you've studied alchemical Taoism (especially the sexual aspect) from more modern sources - and would like to peruse some of the classics (from the 1000's of years that the Chinese have been studying this stuff), then this is THE book. It's extremely well written; the introduction alone is worth the price of the book.

An important reference work for the serious student,

This review is from: Art of the Bedchamber The Chinese Sexual Yoga Classics Including Women's Solo Meditation Texts (Paperback)
Here is the largest collection of historical Chinese texts on Taoist sexuality in English, excellently translated and footnoted. A must have reference work for the serious, advanced student.This is not an introductory text, and I think a beginner would be hard pressed to understand and practice many of the techniques in the book.

Very complete. documented and Annotated,
By
This review is from: Art of the Bedchamber The Chinese Sexual Yoga Classics Including Women's Solo Meditation Texts (Paperback)
This is a work of scholorship and not simply a book about the ancient Chinese view of sex. It's very complete and contains both usuful material for moderns and very interesting historical material regarding alchemy, Qi Gong and Chinese medicine as they relate to sex.
