• The first modern guide to White Tigress techniques, the only sexual teachings exclusively for women.
• Reveals for the first time in English the hidden teachings of immortaless Hsi Wang Mu, a White Tigress from 3,000 years ago.
• Provides Western medical correlations to substantiate White Tigress practices.
White Tigress women undertake disciplined sexual and spiritual practices to maintain their beauty and youthfulness, realize their full feminine potential, and achieve immortality. Revealed here for the first time in English are the secrets of the White Tigress that have all but disappeared from the world. Under the guidance of Madame Lin, the matriarch of a distinguished White Tigress lineage still in existence in Taiwan, Hsi Lai was given the privilege to study these practices and record them from a modern perspective so they will be forever preserved.
The vast majority of Taoist texts on alchemy, meditation, and sexuality are directed at male practitioners. The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress presents traditions that focus on women, traditions that stem from a long line of courtesans and female Taoists. Translations of the ancient teachings from a rare White Tigress manual dating back 3,000 years explain the sexual and spiritual refinement of ching (sexual energy), chi (vital energy), and shen (consciousness)--the Three Treasures of Taoism--the secret to unlocking eternal youthfulness and immortality.

With this wonderful record of White Tigress teachings compiled by Hsi Lai, we are assured that our philosophy and knowledge will not pass into oblivion . . . the teachings will now find a new fertile ground in which to grow.
--Madame Lin
When the Tigress crouches before the Dragon, the Dragon is lured into the Tigress’s mouth. The Tigress’s red lotus seizes the Dragon’s precious pearl and the Tigress leaps away with its prey.
--The White Tigress Manual
A White Tigress is a woman who undertakes disciplined sexual and spiritual practices to maintain her beauty and youthfulness, realize her full feminine potential, and achieve immortality. Revealed here for the first time in English are the secrets of the White Tigress initiates that have all but disappeared from the world. Under the guidance of Madame Lin, the matriarch of a distinguished White Tigress lineage still in existence in Taiwan, Hsi Lai was given the privilege to study these practices and record them so they will be forever preserved.
The vast majority of Taoist texts on alchemy, meditation, and sexuality are directed at male practitioners. The Sexual Teachings of the White Tigress presents traditions that focus on women, traditions that stem from a long line of courtesans and female Taoist adepts. Translations of the ancient teachings from a rare White Tigress manual dating back 3,000 years explain techniques for absorbing male sexual energy, intensifying orgasms, restoring beauty, re-creating youthful sexual energy, and enlivening the sexual organs. The teachings of the White Tigress lead to the Taoist sexual and spiritual refinement of ching (sexual energy), qi (vital energy), and shen (consciousness)--the Three Treasures of Taoism--the secrets to unlocking eternal youthfulness and immortality.
HSI LAI has been a practicing Taoist for over twenty-five years, studying Chinese language, healing arts, and philosophy with many notable teachers. He lectures throughout the world on Taoism and the practices of Taoist sex. He began his research into White Tigress techniques in 1986 under the guidance of one of the few living White Tigress teachers in Taipei, Taiwan.

When the tigress turns white and the whiskers grow long,
her waist thins and so hunts for prey.
When the tigress crouches before the dragon,
the dragon is lured into the tigress' mouth.
The tigress' red lotus seizes the dragon's precious pearl
and the tigress leaps away with its prey."
Hsi Wang Mu

I read Memoirs of a Geisha years ago and found it fascinating. The traditions and beliefs of White Tigress training is a similar type of Eastern practice that empowers the female presence without compromising her moral or spiritual virtues. This is an interesting concept in acknowledging sexual energy with spiritual energy.
White Tigress women find ways to grow spiritually in seeking immortalessness through their devoted sexual practices. Being submissive, and quiet are practices that are not sexual in nature but will stimulate the appeal of these women to men. Pornography and White Tigress training use similar methods in attracting the male energy that sustains the youth and beauty of the trainees. Pornography seeks wealth as an advantage and White Tigresses consider their techniques as more nurturing.
Hsi Lai falters in two areas: first, he attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of White Tigresses by claiming that they were misunderstood by their contemporaries in ancient China. For instance, he states that mainstream Taoist monks and Confucian moralists made up false legends about White Tigress being sex demons out to drain men of their sexual essence. Thing is, he later goes on to state that because of the lack of available men for White Tigresses to practice on, a White Tigress often had to sexually exhaust a man by performing daily fellatio on him. So the legends *do* have a basis in how White Tigresses behaved then.
Second, Hsi tries to dealienate White Tigress concepts by drawing analogies with Christianity, the moral/religious system most familiar to Westerners. The difficulty with this is that the symbolism is only surface at best. For example, Hsi talks about the three key fluids (saliva, blood, and semen) in Taoism and, because there were similar practices involving thoes fluids in Judeo-Christian times, claims that the practice of Catholic Communion also incorporate the three keys fluids in the form of bread (saliva), blood, and baptismal water (semen). There are several difficulties with this: first, it is certainly true that there were similar practices in early Christian times; this hardly means that they were performed by *Christians*. For instance, there were many Greek and Roman sex cults during the time of early Christianity. Second, convergence does not imply same origin - that Christians ended up using baptismal water as a sign of cleansing, and that White Tigresses saw semen as a cleansing fluid does not mean that they attach the same meaning to the fluids or the rites involving these fluids. Hsi here dismisses the deeper and more crucial differences with a wave of the "it's just semantics" hand.
This is surprising, since Hsi clearly shows that he can perform an adequate compare-and-contrast if he puts his mind to it. For example, he observes that while on the surface White Tigresses and porn stars/prostitutes act similarly (intense focus on oral sex, exhibitionism, shaved genitalia, etc.) their operating philosophy and end goals couldn't be more different.
In summary, while I enjoyed reading about the life and training of White Tigresses, I found Hsi's attempts to defend the White Tigresses morally against their ancient and supposed modern critics flawed and, hence, distracting. He would have written a better book if he had just stuck to documenting the White Tigress lifestyle.
now I want to give my husband (who is also very interested) the BEST SEX and loving that a women/lover/wife can 'assist' with for the rest of our retired lives together!!💥
I find the content to be most helpful- and my Soulmate agrees!

Another important aspect of those incredible teachings is turning three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance into three medicines: charity, compassion and wisdom. If one can achieve it through transformational sexual practices contained here, one can do a lot for oneself, the world and others.
I think that Daoism in this form, although it's quite heterodox, is for that very reason more convincing than many of the mainstream teachings that fill our bookshelves. Daoism became quite conformist - and thus it betrayed its origins... Hsi Lai offers a welcome correction.
To me personally it was the thorough explanation and parallels to modern world that the author explained so professionally. It's amazing how much time and efforts goes to invent something in modern medicine that the Chinese have known for thousands of years! And their methods are still more effective yet simple and healthy.
The way of White Tigress isn't my way however I'd love to practice certain parts of their art.
The author is an amazing writer with the style I'd love to have for myself - easy, relaxed but well-grounded with references to both ancient culture and modern medicine.
The exercises at the end of the book that every woman can do every day is a great bonus and do make the book priceless.
Overall - amazing discovery both theoretical and practical.
