Taoist sexual practices (simplified Chinese: ??? ; traditional Chinese: ??? ; pinyin: fÃÆ'¡ngzh? ngshÃÆ'¹ ), literally "bedroom art", is the way Tao can perform activities sexual. These practices are also known as "Join Energy" or "The Joining Essences". Practitioners believe that by engaging in this sexual art, one can remain healthy, and attain longevity or spiritual progress.

Histori
Some Taoist sects during the Han dynasty had sexual intercourse as a spiritual practice, called "HÃÆ' Â © qÃÆ'¬" (??, "Joining Energy"). The first sexual texts to survive today are those found in Mawangdui. While Taoism has not fully evolved as a philosophy at the present time, these texts have a remarkable similarity to the Tang dynasty texts, such as Ishinp. Sexual arts practically reached a climax between the end of the Han dynasty and the end of the Tang dynasty.
After 1000 CE, Confucianism's restricted attitude toward sexuality became stronger, so that at the beginning of the Qing dynasty in 1644, sex was a taboo subject in public life. Confucians allege that gender segregation in most social activities existed 2,000 years ago, and suppressed sexual art. Because of the taboos surrounding sex, there is much censorship done during the Qing in literature, and sexual art disappears in public life. As a result, some texts only survive in Japan, and most scholars do not know that different concepts of sex existed in early China.

Ancient and medieval practices
Qi (Lifeforce) _and_Jing_ (Essence) "> Qi (Lifeforce) and Jing (Essence) Male ejaculation controlMany Taoist practitioners associate the loss of ejaculatory fluid with the loss of vital life force: where excessive fluid loss results in premature aging, disease, and general fatigue. While some Taoists argue that one should not ejaculate, others provide specific formulas to determine the maximum number of regular ejaculations to maintain health.
The general idea is to limit the loss of as much fluid as possible to the level of exercise you want. When this sexual practice is inherited for centuries, some practitioners are not as important in limiting ejaculation. However, "semen retention" is one of the basic principles of Tao sexual practices.
There are different methods for controlling ejaculation determined by the Daoists. To avoid ejaculation, men can do one of several things. He can pull out immediately before orgasm, a method that Joseph Needham called "coitus conservatus". The second method involves men applying pressure on the perineum, thus maintaining sperm. Meanwhile, if done wrong can cause ejaculation backwards, Taoists believe that jing moves to the head and "nourishes the brain."
Jing
Another important concept of "The Joining of the Essences" is that the union of a man and a woman will result in the creation of jing, a kind of sexual energy. When in action sex, jing will be formed, and the man can turn some of this jing into qi, and recharge his life force. With as much sex as possible, men have the opportunity to change more jing, and as a result will see many health benefits.
Yin/Yang
The concept of Yin and that is important in Taoism, and consequently also holds special interest in sex. Which usually refers to the male sex, whereas Yin can refer to female gender. Men and Women are equal to heaven and earth, but become disconnected. Therefore, while the heavens and the earth are eternal, men and women experience early death. Every interaction between Yin and Yang has significance. Because of this significance, every position and action in lovemaking has significance. The Taoist text describes a large number of special sexual positions that serve to cure or prevent disease.
Female
For the Taoists, sex is not just about pleasing the man. The woman must also be stimulated and happy to benefit from sex acts. Sex should not happen if one or another couple wants more. If sex is done in this way, the woman will create more jing, and the man can more easily absorb the jing to improve his own qi. Women are also given a prominent place in Ishinp ?, with tutors as women. One of the reasons why women have tremendous power in sex acts is because they get away from it. The woman has the power to live life, and no need to worry about ejaculation or the refractory period.
Women are often given an inferior position in sexual practice. Many texts discuss sex from a male perspective, and avoid discussions about how sex can benefit women. Men are encouraged not to confine themselves to one woman, and are advised to have sex only with beautiful women and no children. While the man should please the woman sexually, he is still an object. At many points during Ishinp ?, she was referred to as "the enemy"; this is because the woman can cause her to spill semen and lose vitality. In sexual texts later from Ming, women have lost all the resemblances of being human and referred to as "other," "container", or "stove" from which to cultivate vitality. The importance of pleasing her also diminished in subsequent texts. The practice is known as Caibu (??), when a man enters many women without ejaculation.
Women are also considered to be a means for men to prolong the life of men. Many ancient texts devote an explanation of how a man can use sex to prolong his own life. But, his life is only extended through the absorption of vital energy of women (jing and qi). Some Taoists call sex acts "Battle of stealing and strengthening." This sexual method can be correlated with the Tao military method. Instead of storming the gates, battles are a series of hoaxes and maneuvers that will weaken enemy resistance.
When and where
Another text, Health Benefits of Bedchamber , shows that certain times are better for sexual intercourse than others. One must avoid contacting on the moon of a quarter or a full moon and on days when there is strong winds, rain, fog, cold or heat, thunder, lightning, darkness over heaven and earth, solar and lunar eclipses, rainbows and earthquakes. Fucking at these times will endanger the man's soul and will cause the woman to become sick. Children conceived at these moments will be insane, stupid, astray or stupid; dumb, deaf, lame or blind; not filial and violent.
It is also important to choose the right day for sexual intercourse if someone wants children. After the women's period, the first day, the third or fifth is the best. If in these days the man ejaculates after midnight, the child is likely to become a male. If a girl is desirable, the man needs to ejaculate on the second, fourth or sixth day after the termination of the woman's period.
Sex location is also important. People should avoid the sun, moon or star glare, the interior of the temple, the proximity to temples, wells, stoves and privies, and around graves or coffins.
If this suggestion is followed by family descent will be good, wise and virtuous. If they are not followed, their offspring will be evil and the family will eventually die.
Longevity and eternity
Several Sun Dynasty Taoist sects believe that one way for men to attain longevity or 'toward immortality' is by intercourse with virgins, especially young girls. Tao's sexual books, such as Hsuan wei Hshin ("Mental Images of Mystery and Refinement of Sexual Techniques") and San Feng Tan Cheueh ("Zhang Sanfeng's Instruction in Physiological Alchemy" ), written, respectively, by Zhao Liangpi and Zhang Sanfeng (not to be confused with the semi-myth of Zhang Sanfeng who lived in the preceding period), contact the female sexual partner and recommend sex with the virgin pralaharche. Zhao Liangpi concluded that the ideal ding is a pralaharche virgin under the age of 14 and women older than 18 should be avoided.
Zhang Sanfeng goes further and divides ding into three stages: lowest rank, women aged 21 to 25; middle-ranked, virgins aged 16 to 20 years old; highest ranking, 14-year-old pracaarche virgin.
According to Ge Hong, a fourth-century Taoist alchemist, "those who seek 'immortality' must accomplish the absolute thing, consisting of rewarding jing, distributing qi and consuming great drugs." Sexual arts are related to the first teachings, which appreciate jing. This is partly because it appreciates the jing involved sending it to the brain. To send the jing to the brain, the man must refrain from ejaculating during sex. According to some Taoists, if this is done, jing will travel to the spine and nourish the brain rather than leaving the body. Ge Hong also stated, however, that it is foolish to believe that performing sexual art can only achieve immortality and some of the ancient myths about sexual art have been misinterpreted and exaggerated. Indeed, sexual art should be practiced with alchemy to achieve longevity. Ge Hong also warned it could be dangerous if practiced incorrectly.
