  • The-Multi-Orgasmic-Man.Pdf
    THE MULTI-ORGASMIC MAN The Proof Is in Your Pants You may already have experienced multiple orgasms. Surprising as this may sound, many men are multi-orgasmic before they enter adolescence and begin to ejaculate. Kinsey’s research suggested that more than half of all preadolescent boys were able to reach a second orgasm within a short period of time and nearly a third were able to achieve five or more orgasms one after the other. This led Kinsey to argue that "climax is clearly possible without ejaculation." But multiple orgasms are not just limited to prepubescent boys. Kinsey continues: "There are older males, even in their thirties and older, who are able to equal this performance." In Fundamentals of Human Sexuality, Dr. Herant Katchadourian adds: "Some men are able to inhibit the emission of semen while they experience the orgasmic contractions: in other words they have nonejaculatory orgasms. Such orgasms do not seem to be followed by a refractory period [loss of erection], thereby allowing these men to have consecutive or multiple orgasms like women. Why do most men lose their ability to be multi-orgasmic. It is possible that for many men the experience of ejaculating, when it happens, is so overwhelming that it eclipses the experience of orgasm and causes men to lose the ability to distinguish between the two. One multi-orgasmic man described the first time he ejaculated: "I still remember it clearly. There I was orgasming as usual, but this time a white liquid came spurting out. I thought I was dying. I swore to God that I would never masturbate again – which of course lasted about a day." Since orgasm and ejaculation generally occur within seconds of one another, it is easy to confuse them.' To become multi-orgasmic, you must learn (or possibly relearn) the ability to separate the different sensations of arousal and to revel in orgasm without cresting over into ejaculation.

  • 1 COSMOLOGY and SEXUALITY in DAOISM by Gyorgyi Szabo Ph.D. “How Can One Pres
    1 COSMOLOGY AND SEXUALITY IN DAOISM By Gyorgyi Szabo Ph.D. “How can one preserve one’s essence, according to Daoist art of sexual practice”? Please note that I adopted the pin-yin transliterations in this essay apart from where the Wade-Giles spellings appear in some of the quotations used. In order to address this question comprehensively, it is necessary to take a look at the fundamental principles of Daoism, the philosophical and religious aspects that evolved and gave shape to this unique belief that has influenced Asian thinking for thousands of years. Daoism evolved into a theoretical system that provided explanations about everything, from the workings of the cosmos to human spirituality. The ancient Chinese were fascinated with longevity; they had a strong desire to live forever. In observing flowering, procreation and death in the natural world, the Daoists considered that they were beholding a ‘mistake’ in nature. A mistake in so much as the seeds of nature appeared to be liberally and literally tossed away on the wind. The Chinese thought that to withhold one’s own seed would help lead to the elongation of life. Bearing fruit maybe nature’s order but immortality could be humanity’s greatest achievement. Daoism gave guidance to people on how to live a healthy emotional and physical life in order to achieve the Tao and to become immortal. Daoist teachings of physical immortality did not necessarily imply that humans would no longer die. It aimed rather to prolong physical life in order to afford more time to cultivate a spiritual body.

  • Buddhism, Medicine, and the Affairs of the Heart
    EASTM 45 (2017): 9-48 Buddhism, Medicine, and the Affairs of the Heart: Āyurvedic Potency Therapy (Vājīkarana) and the Reappraisal of Aphrodisiacs and Love Philters in Medieval Chinese Sources Dominic Steavu [Dominic Steavu is Assistant Professor at the University of California Santa Barbara. His recent research foci include the intersection between medicine, material culture, and substances in early medieval Daoism and Esoteric Buddhism. Contact: [email protected]] * * * Abstract: This article examines how discursive frames modify forms of knowledge and practice. More precisely, it considers the problem of categories in early and medieval Chinese sources through the lens of recipes designed to facilitate intercourse. In pre-Buddhist Chinese sources, such prescriptions traditionally fell either under the rubric of ‘nourishing life’ (yangsheng 養生) longevity practices or spellbinding (zhuzu 祝詛). While recipes that appear in the former bracket—referred to in this study as ‘aphrodisiacs’—were couched in a discourse of healing and classified as a medical undertaking, those associated with spellbinding—referred to as ‘love philters’—were filed under the heading of mantic arts and divination in bibliographic treatises. With the arrival of Āyurvedic medicine in China via Buddhist sources, this partition grew increasingly blurred. Āyurvedic medical taxonomy in general, and its discipline of potency therapy (vājīkarana) in particular, did not distinguish between aphrodisiacs and love philters since both ultimately facilitate intercourse, albeit through different means. The imprint of Āyurvedic categories in China can be ascertained in Buddhist manuscript sources from Dunhuang, but also, more surprisingly, in widely circulated medieval non-Buddhist medical treatises. However, in contrast to the emblematic medical treatises of the middle period and surveyed manuscript Buddhist materials, canonical Buddhist texts appear to have shied away from the topic of aphrodisiacs and upheld the indigenous Chinese understanding of love philters as spellbinding and mantic art.

  • The Tao of the West: Western Transformations of Taoist Thought
    THE TAO OF THE WEST In this book, J.J. Clarke shows us how Taoist texts, ideas and practices have been assimilated within a whole range of Western interests and agendas. We see how Chinese thinkers such as Lao-tzu and Chuang tzu, along with practices such as feng- shui and tai chi, have been used as key Western inspirations in religion, philosophy, ethics, politics, ecology and health. The Tao of the West not only provides a fascinating introduction to Taoism, but it offers a timely insight into the history of the West’s encounter with this ancient tradition and into the issues arising from inter-cultural dialogue. Anyone interested in understanding Taoism and the influence it has had on the West will welcome and embrace this book. J.J. Clarke has taught philosophy at McGill University, Montreal, and at the University of Singapore, and is currently Reader in History of Ideas at Kingston University, UK. He is the author of In Search of Jung, Jung and Eastern Thought and Oriental Enlightenment: The Encounter Between Asian and Western Thought, all published by Routledge.
