Book Description

Series: Whole Way Library | Publication Date: December 1, 2000

The secret of these age-old sexual healing methods is now available in a visual format that everyone can understand and enjoy. Developed over two thousand years ago by Chinese sexologists and practiced by emperors and peasants alike to prolong life-and pleasure-these techniques have only recently been discovered in the West. While the ancient Chinese believed that the harmonious union of Yin (female energy) and Yang (male energy) was instrumental to the soundness of one's mind and body, Westerners have just recently expressed readiness to explore these methods. The dynamic connection between good health and good sex is now commonly cited as an important factor in longevity and happiness by modern sex experts. Here, author Zaihong Shen guides lovers through a comprehensive exploration of the age-old Yin and Yang Method, a wide range of techniques designed to extend the arousal period and increase pleasure and well-being--from breathing and preparatory exercises to detailed instructions for a multitude of sexual positions. For modern lovers wishing to reach heightened states of health, enjoyment, and awareness, Sexual Healing Through Yin & Yang reveals exciting new erotic vistas to experience together.

This review is from: Sexual Healing Through Yin & Yang (Paperback)

if you never thought about cultural differences in this world, but might be interested in a completely different view on sexuality; here's a book for you.

if you always suspected that Chinese medicine is more than tiny needles and gentle back rubs -- but were afraid to ask; here's a book for you.

amazing indeed is how the author managed to extract detailed recipes for a better sex life out of material that may originally date back thousands of years -- but was suppressed for almost as long. It certainly makes all of western "sexual revolution" look like a tremendously old hat...
