First off, I'm far from an expert on 'sacred sex,' which is why I picked up this book. I was particularily interested in channeling sexual energy, improving multiple orgasm, and developing the ability to be multi-orgasmic (as a man).

I should also note that I'm not generally a spiritual person; I don't regularily practice anything in particular. At the same time I am interested in and familiar with activities that involve a lot of body awareness, such as yoga, pilates, dance, martial arts, meditation, etc., as well as the Hindu and Buddhist faiths.

The book highlights the Universal Tao practice of sexuality, rather than Tantric-like practices, and does a good job of briefly explaining the importance and foundations of the religion to the topic at hand. At the same time, I often found myself wondering more about the Universal Tao in general, and how sexuality fits into a more comprehensive religious tradition. I felt an incomplete picture was presented: either discuss the religious aspects fully, or leave it out entirely. As it is, I feel I would have to explore Universal Tao in order to gain full value from this work.

The chapters concerning what you'd think the book would touch on most of all, multiple orgasm, were similarily vague: what is there is thorough and informative, but details and specific guidance are lacking. Even with some experience in spiritual practices and exercises, and having developed a fair bit of body and energy awareness through other activies, I found myself barely able to experience and follow what the authors were suggesting.

The book is also widely targeted, to both naive and experienced users. However, I feel the authors managed to reach neither group fully. The instruction and guidance I bought the book for (multi-orgasmic sex practices, something probably generally practiced by highly sexually aware couples) could be sparse. The information was there and complete, but seemed to assume some previous knowledge or experience that went unacknowledged. Then, the authors would explain very simple things you'd expect highly sexual couples to know, such as the function and location of the clitoris.

Most importantly, the main thrust of the book is connecting with your partner, not being multi-orgasmic. After chapter 3, the book focuses on sharing energy, developing love, and a number of other very positive and beneficial practices that I'm glad I read about. Certainly, the authors do readers a service in not just giving them techniques without explaining their power and application. At the same time, this broad overview on connection comes at the price of specifics, leaving the promise of the title unfulfilled.

On the whole, this is a decent work. It'll open your eyes to some new sexuality concepts, and I'm sure that with practice one would develop a fuller, more spiritual sexuality. At the same time, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone with no experience in spiritual or body-based practices like yoga, meditation, pilates, tai chi, martial arts, etc.: one would have to develop some body awareness and control before being able to undertake some of the exercises with the minimal guidance provided.

More detail, more step-by-step, and exercises to get readers to that point would've made this an excellent resource. More information on multiple orgasm and how exactly to develop that ability to feel and channel energy are, to my mind, critical. As it is, the authors are off to a good start but suplementation is necessary.

One final point: the book does include a section on intercourse and thrusting. Although this is something a lot of couples can probably innovate in on their own, it is noteworthy in that this is one of the few sexuality resources I've ever seen that touches on the actual act of intercourse and the variety of possibilities there.

I believe the Greek reviewer clearly missed the purpose of the book and does a great disservice to the authors and the public by claiming it is a "wish list, and not a true guide." It is absolutely not "90% how in touch couples should be" and does clearly and simply give practical techniques and guidance. While the healing love practice that the authors present draws on the Taoist tradition and western sexology clearly dealing with how lovemaking can be a source of greater intimacy, healing, and spiritual relationship, they obviously were quite committed to providing clear and practical sex advice, as evidenced by its extensive coverage in the book. I'm a somewhat average male in most respects, although I would say I do live an alternative lifestyle. I do not have any specific previous "spiritual" or body awareness training. This book was astoundingly practical and allowed me to become a Multi-Orgasmic male in about two months of regular, although by no means particularly strenuous practice. It has revolutionized my experience of sexuality, and allowed me to leave genital focused orgasm and ejaculation goal orientation far behind, and take a quantum shift in intimacy and ecstatic pleasure for both my lover and I. She found it extremely quick (in a couple of days) and easy to learn how to not "crest over" and remain multi-orgasmic continuously without getting over-sensitized and not wanting to continue, as many women do after a full orgasm. This book can honestly change your life experience radically!!! ... I recommend a beginners mind here, and you will definitely be rewarded, even though there may not be an extensive amount of details in the book about the experiential progression of the practice, and even if, as the authors indicate, it may take up to six months of practice to get the hang of it. I just trusted my own experience as I went along and took what was valuable and understandable for me, and left the rest like water off a duck's back.

In this book the authors discuss the concept of "sexual kung fu," which despite the humorous connotations in the West simply means sexual practice. My biggest issue with the book is that it really should establish that it is a Taoist guide at the outset that is as much about Eastern spirituality concepts as it is about sex. It isn't that I object to the book, it just isn't what I expected given the title and cover art.

Having said that, there are some good pointers, and I found the chapters on health and aging to be especially well written, although I must admit that I found several of the exercises recommended to be vague and not particularly helpful.

I think that there are better books on the subject available that are more geared to the target audience with a specific "how to" approach. If you have an interest in Eastern spiritual beliefs and want to apply them in your sex life, this is an excellent book. Many, though, will find the extensive Taoist philosophy tiresome. The book has some well written chapters and sections (chapters one, two, and eight are very well done); just be aware of what you are buying before you purchase the book.

My husband and I loved this book! We found the information cleverly written yet easy to understand, and all of it was valuable to developing our intimacy and sexuality. We thought the exercises were useful, easy, and well-designed. There is information in this book for women, men, and couples, and my husband and I learned a lot about eachother's sexuality by reading all of the sections. I think the approach of the book is very accessible for people of all different levels of comfort regarding sexuality - especially because the book really focuses on health. In fact, I'm planning to give this book to all of my family members as a holiday gift!

The best way I can sum up what this book has done for my sex life is- Paradigm shift. It opened my eyes to how important making time for sex really is. As a woman sometimes I suppress my sexual desires because I feel they are frivolous at certain times and believe that I should be getting more practical things taken care of. This book helped me to see that sex is very healing and necessary way for married couples to connect on a deeper spiritual level. My husband has not read the book however, my state of arousal and just reading for myself has helped him achieve multiple orgasm and we have found new ways for me to achieve orgasms as well. I recommend this book highly.

If you only read one book on sexuality, this should be it. This book will allow you to deepen your relationship with your lover and give you both a new source of energy that can be channeled into all aspects of your life. Buy it!

I bought this book after practicing some techniques for multiple orgasm by Dr Newman K. Lin. These techniques are fantastic and workable. I bought this book to get into more detail about the taoist method in cycling the energy inside the body, and have multiple orgasm for men. I did read multiple orgasm for men and microcosmic orbit, and I found that microcosmic orbit is fantastic. It is workable but needs a lot of training. You need to be patient and try many times to reach there and see the light at the end of the tunnel. My concern is only contracting the PC muscle will trigger ejaculation, however you should contract the tailbone muscle instead. According to Dr. Lin these techniques will require 3 to 12 months to practice perfectly. According also to Mantak Chia, you may experience a small orgasm in the begining which is not comparable with the ejaculatory orgasm, but onwords these orgamsic waves will be intensifed and you will have a lot of pleasure. You will not need to ejaculate a lot, but what you will need is to have many orgasms. Incorporating this energy with intercourse and extract the female energy will give you soul orgasm and full body orgasm which you will never forget.
Beleive in yourself and beleive of the power of Allah which given to you and by pateience you will succeed.

Thanks for all people who helped us to see things from different angle.

We got this book after reading The Multi-Orgasmic Man. It should be required reading for all lovers and a making love manual for teaching in schools. The authors provide details and step-by-step procedures for equalizing the sexual differences between men and women. It teaches anyone how to become multi-orgasmic and have a vastly richer, healthier, and more satisfying sex life.

This book provided my partner and I with the techniques, practices, and motivation to fulfill the title's promise. It is a Taoist sexual manual; sort of like a Beginners Guide or A Taoist Sexual Practice Primer.
That being said, the Taoist methods that this book describes don't require "belief" in a religion or spirituality - they discuss physical, verifiable practices that Taoists have known and written about for centuries. To me, the fact that the methods are time tested lend credence and validity to the art and methods.
As far as Taoist spirituality goes, I appreciated the fact that I didn't have to wade through ancient culture, Taoist theories and Taoist "scriptures" to find the instruction I wanted. It got down to business, so to speak.
I love the information summaries, the info-boxes with the numbered steps or stages to practice, the reviews of essential concepts throughout the chapters and the tasteful pencil drawn pictures. Guides describing sexual practice have a line to walk between cheesy and trashy or too moralistic for practical application.


This book is amazing and I am extremely grateful to have found it and very very happy to be able to apply it.

This book was a worthwhile purchase. It not only imparts important information, but does so in a way that is unassuming and even fun! I enjoyed the book as did my husband, and we have explored new sexual horizons through its use.
