4.0 out of 5 stars a winner to convince you the taoist method, November 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tao of Love and Sex (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is easy to read. It teaches you the basic concept of the ancient chinese tao of loving. Will give you a shift in your own western beliefs about sex. It will be clear to you why non knowledge of the tao of loving can be harmful to your health, happiness and sanity.
However there are deeper practices & secret methods in the tao of sex that chang did not cover. But those theories & practices are usually too complex and too long to be described in such an elegant & not that thick book like this one. For the deeper practices, you may read Mantak Chia's book which are great & detail- of course he's a Taoist master too.
This book is excellent for those who are not yet familiar with the concepts of the tao of sex/loving. I think it will definitely give you a mind shift about sex. Since u are gonna do it, why not study it & do it well?

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Wisdom, November 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tao of Love and Sex (Mass Market Paperback)

Although the text is oriented toward a man learning to relax and control his own body and to enjoy more intimately the act of making love to a woman, it is highly recommended for women to read as well. This book will explain the kind of patience and help a woman can provide for her "quick" or inexperienced lover. Readers beware: There's no mojo in this method! Dr. Chang eloquently reveals hard-boiled techniques that are tried and true. There's no guarantee necessary here. With Dr. Chang, good loving is a fact!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok for introducing someone interested in the Tao, May 25, 2006

Pathfinder "Pathfinder" (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Tao of Love and Sex (Mass Market Paperback)

I found it ok to give the reader an idea of the Tao of love and sex on a physical level, but not much in regards to how the Tao can be used for a higher spiritual purpose. The book seems to entirely focus on how to keep a woman sexually satisfied and how a person practicing the Tao can have much better health and increase lifespan. The book doesn't give much information about from a womans perspective but mainly from a male perspective and how physically beneficial it is for men. The book makes the assumption that woman are not sexually satisfied unless they have lots of orgasms, and the focus for the male is to retain the seed and engage his partner is lustful sex. The book mentions the use of a locking method to help a male from ejaculating but doesn't give specifics on how to actually do it and how to practice it (unlike Mantak Chia - cultivating male sexual energy). I found Mantak Chia books better in showing how the Tao is used as a spiritual path and also lots of practices to buildup and maintain sexual energy and other practical topics such as external lock, internal lock, sacrum and cranial pumps, power lock, etc.
