not an easy read but well worth the effort

Mantak Chia is a master who gives detailed descriptions of the how-to of moving sexual energy. The methods he proposes are very disciplined and therefore work best for people who like structure and have lots of patience and self-motivation. This book is also good for individuals not in relationship, because so much of the work is done on one's own. Because Chia's work derives from the Taoist tradition (as opposed to Tantric), there is more emphasis on the physical and practical than the mystical and emotional aspects of the work.

needed gap filler in my chi kung training.

excelant study guide... i have a good strong understanding of chi kung, i've been teaching myself from books and practicing for years now. for anyone who doesn't know chi kung is the stuff that the famous 1 inch punch is made of. some books i studied from that i recomend to study allong with this one is , tai chi classics, qigong for health and martial arts by dr. yang jwing ming and any others by that author. i have read at least 20 or more others on the subject. almost all the titles i've read leave out sex entirely and at least a couple say not to practice chi kung with in 24 hours of sex but none give any info on why or any hints as to why. i have read a good handfull of books on tantra and haven't found this type of info available. after stumbling onto this book i bought it immediatly, it was a much needed gap filler in my training that i will cherrish for years. i read the book slowly and carefully then i started practicing in the next couple days. i took me only that long to reap the bennifits, i went from an occasional strong orgasm a consistant strong orgasm every time. using the "big draw" most of my orgasms are so strong that i nearly faint and my body is left tingeling. i don't think this would be so, accept that i've been practicing chi kung and other meditations for years already that these tecniques were easily addapted. the bit on multiple orgasms is quite real. i highly recomend this book for anyone who takes their love life, meditation, and chi kung serously. i would have to agree with the other couple reviews that say that this type of info could be "potentialy" dangerous. i've studied other titles such as the "encyclopedia of dim mak" by by erle montaigue and wally simpson and am just now starting to study "a manual of accupuncture" and i know that your chi systems demand allot of respect. nonetheless if you practice progressively, carefully and don't try to force your chi but rather allow your self to become aware of it, you'll find that the information in this book is highly valuable. that is why i recomend that you study this book with the book "tai chi classics" this title instructs you how to "cultivate" your awareness and controle of your chi properly.

A bit unpolished, but still a classic

In some ways Chia's earlier work (including this book) is purer than his more recent volumes. This book's extensive background about sacred sexuality makes it especially worthwhile for interested readers. Although I think Chia's emphasis on forcing the chi with performance-oriented techniques, such as teeth and buttock clenching, counting and so on, is not as effective as a less-driven, approach based on more mutual affection, I still heartily recommend this book. It can genuinely helps readers accept the potential hidden in their sexual unions.

This is the ONE book every man should read about sex.

Sex has unlimited potential. Chia's sensible exercises point the direction toward sexual enjoyment, health and general well being. He does it in an easy to read way. At 51 years I've become multiorgasm. Have fun.

An Excellent Book

Before sexual tantra became popular, Mantak Chia was teaching people how to spiritualize their sexual relationships with this book. It it an excellent resource for anyone wanting to transform sexual activity into spritual practice as well as to overcome archaic, negative views about sexualilty.
