Vigilant3 Posted July 11, 2008 Hi! So i'm new to the tao and am trying to learn how the tao relates to all things in life. All I know of personal issues and self-discovery is what is constantly thrown around by religion and religious practice. When it comes to sexuality it is generally a "sin" unless two individuals have paid for a marriage certificate or something to that affect I'm just wondering what the "Taoistic" stance is on sexuality. I assume there is no "right" or "wrong" in the tao, but what does it teach about this subject? Anything would be helpful. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi V, You can find a lot of stuff on the web and/or pick up Mantak Chia's / Michael Winn's Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy. There have been refinements to what is taught in that book by Michael Winn, but it serves as a good educational source or practical if you should choose. As far as internet sites, search on Male Deer Exercises, Semen Retention, or 3 finger technique to name a few. From the references I mention, it is more about utilizing the sexual energy for spiritual purposes than it is about judgement or morality.
