Few Excerpts from The Su Nu Ching <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Su Nu Ching is written as a dialogue between the Yellow Emperor, his 3 female advisers, Su Nu ‘the girl of innocence’, Tsai Nü and Hsüan Nü, and his male adviser P’<\/span><\/span>êng Tsu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yellow Emperor: "My ch’i or qi [energy] is weak and out of harmony. There is no joy in my heart and I live in constant fear. What can I do?"<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Su Nu: "All debility in man is due to violation of the Tao of Sex between yin & yang [the two polarities in all dualistic phenomena]. Women are superior to men in the same way that water is superior to fire. This knowledge is like the ability to blend the "five flavors" in a pot to make delicious soup. Those who know the Tao of Yin & Yang<\/span><\/a> can fully realize the "five pleasures" [of the senses]; those who do not, will die before their time without ever knowing this joy. Can you afford not to view this with the utmost intent?"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His adviser P’<\/span><\/span>êng Tsu replied: "By treasuring his Ching<\/span> [physical and energetic sexual matter], cultivating his spirit, and consuming herbs, a man may indeed attain long life. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, if he is ignorant of the Tao of Sex, taking herbs will be of no benefit. The mutual fulfillment of man and woman is like the mutual dependence of heaven and earth. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because heaven and earth have attained the Tao of union, they are eternal; because mankind has lost the Tao of Sex, he suffers the onset of early death. If we could avoid the things that gradually injure our bodies and learn the Art of Yin & Yang, this would truly be the Tao of Immortality."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hsüan Nü replied: "In our universe all lives are created through the harmony of Yin & Yang. When Yang has the harmony of Yin all his problems will be solved and when Yin has the harmony of Yang all obstacles on her way will vanish. One Yin and one Yang must constantly assist one another. And thus the man will feel firm and strong. The woman will then be ready to receive him into her. The two will thus be in communion and their secretions will nurture each other …"  <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Yellow Emperor: "Will you instruct me in the essential teachings?"<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

P’eng Tsu answered: *Although the Tao is easily understood, it is just that men fail to practice it faithfully. Today the Emperor controls the complex machinery of rulership and can not be a master of all the arts. However, his responsibilities in the seraglio are many and it is important that he know the proper method of intercourse. Its essence lies in frequently mounting young girls but never ejaculating<\/span><\/a>. This makes a man’s body light and eliminates the hundred ailments."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Yellow Emperor asked Su Nu: <\/span>"If I were to refrain for a long time from intercourse, what would be the result?"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Su Nu answered: "That would be a grave mistake. Heaven and earth have their opening and closing, and Yin & Yang their activities and transformations. Man must conform to Yin & Yang and follow the four seasons. If you were to abstain from intercourse, your spirit would have no opportunity for expansiveness, and Yin & Yang would be blocked and cut off from one another. How could you thus strengthen yourself? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You must cultivate your ch’i through frequent practice and "eliminate the old while absorbing the new" to improve yourself. If the "jade stalk" does not stir, it dies in its lair. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So you must engage frequently in intercourse as a way of exercising the body. To be aroused but not ejaculate is what is called "returning the Ching." When the Ching is returned to benefit the body, then the Tao of life has been realized."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Yin Tao” = “Principles of sexual life“<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Yellow Emperor asked: <\/span>"How then should man and woman regulate their sexual relations?"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Su Nu answered: "The Tao of intercourse has definite characteristics that enable the man to preserve his health and the woman to be free of all illness. They will be happy in their hearts and the power of their ch’i will be strong. Those who are ignorant of its practice will gradually grow weaker. If you wish to know this Tao, it consists in settling the ch’i, calming the mind, and harmonizing the emotions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In order to receive full benefit from the Tao, the couple must first learn how to breathe long and deeply so that they will be relaxed. They must have a sense of security so that their hearts will be tranquil. They must achieve an accord of their wills so that there will be no conflict. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When the "three essentials" are awakened and the spirit is focused, then when you are neither too cold nor too hot to your stomach, neither hungry nor full, completely relax the whole body. Now penetrate shallowly, and move slowly with infrequent thrusts and withdrawals, initially not too deeply. In this way the woman will be satisfied and the man retain his vigor. These are the principles by which to regulate one’s sexual relations."<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Yellow Emperor asked: <\/span>"Now if a man locks himself and refrains from emission, where is the pleasure?"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

P’eng Tsu answered: "Normally, when Ching is emitted into another woman, the whole body feels weary. One suffers buzzing in the ears and drowsiness in the eyes; the throat is parched and the joints heavy. There is brief pleasure, but in the end there is discomfort and disharmony. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If, however, one engages in sex without emission, then the strength of our ch’i will be more than sufficient and our bodies at ease. One’s hearing will be acute and vision clear. When one exercises self-control and calming of passion, love actually increases, and one remains insatiate. How can this be considered unpleasurable?"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Yellow Emperor said: <\/span>"I wish to hear of the advantages of sex without emission."<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Su Nu replied:"<\/span><\/span>The retention of semen is highly beneficial to man’s health.<\/span><\/p>\n
