Gentlemen, do yourself a favor. Read this book! More importantly, really work on the practice. It works!

I'm in my forties, average health. Upon working with these teqniques I became super energized, happy, sexy, and had endless stamina. I learned to orgasm (without ejaculating) anytime, anywhere. I once nearly wrecked my work vehicle while driving on the highway having these thrilling orgasms pulsating through my body - all with both hands on the wheel! It really is amazing.

To Sarah - I wouldn't bother. It's clear that your deep insecurity would never allow for the kind of openness required of individuals seeking this kind of personal development. May your man's high-paying job bring you happiness.

For Debra - Maybe some older men have learned to control their timing but this book takes you further. I expect that many men, young and old, have learned to stop and think about baseball to prevent what the author calls 'the Little Death'. But I doubt many have learned, on their own, how to recycle the chi energy and prevent the painful accumulation that is 'blue balls'. This is where the dicipline really comes in. If you do it right, practice the breathing and energy cycling lessons, that smug smile on the face of the model on the cover will unwittingly appear on yours. It has for me. It has positively effected every aspect of my life.

Don't give up and don't give in to common notions of sexuality - especially you, old dudes!

UPDATE: I downgraded my rating from 3 to 2 stars after discovering that the thing for men to have multiple orgasms is basically just training and using the PC muscle, and that's it. In this book, that is mentioned only as one thing to do besides the really important thing, which is to do exercises to direct imaginary energy. As soon as I learnt that that was not necessary, things got easier and I had much more success. It was also easier to get motivated after learning things were so simple. I might have got more out of the book in the first place if I tried more, but the thing is, the demand to do more was unnecessary in the first place. I expect the "energy" exercises may be helpful to focus the right way or something, but my own experience was basically the opposite of that. I had previously given this book a middle rating for bad science but good advice, and now it turns out the advice is also lacking in one big respect: with respect to its titular topic, it complicates things unnecessarily while sidelining the important part. (Here https://www.nateliason.com/blog/multi... is where I learnt about this; be warned that text is a bit explicit, but is that a surprise?)

Other than that, my old review still stands:

While this book indeed has tips for better sex, it also has something else: it's based partly on science but more on Taoist beliefs that involve the notion of qi energy. (Thus, I put it in my Theology shelf because it promotes the beliefs of a particular religion as true.) This is a problem. By all accounts, the book believes there really is such a thing. It pretends this is a scientific notion by equating it (for a moment until it forgets that) with electricity; it quotes a Discover magazine that says that there is electricity in the body and pretends that something was proven, that that's what traditional Chinese medicine knew all along. Well, qi is not a scientific concept, nor is it electricity. As you can read from Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts about Alternative Medicine, the old Chinese medicine made up a notion of energy coursing around the body because they had a policy of not opening any bodies to see what's actually inside. Neither the medicine nor the energy has been validated by modern science. (Why believe the other book over this one? Because Trick or Treatment is about the most scientific-evidence-based book I've seen, and embodies an excellent understanding of the scientific method.)

That doesn't mean that this book is useless. If the Taoists have learnt to have lots of orgasms, feel great, and maybe become healthy as well, they're worth listening to for advice even if their theory is wrong. The attitude towards sex here is also very healthy - positive and respectful.

But there is a theoretical point of view as well. If you buy this stuff about "energy" literally, you will be quite misled. Even for me as someone who already knew to dismiss it, it was a problem. Many explanations were given in terms of "energy", which just meant I couldn't read about what the real reason was. Even the explanations that used scientific terms - how could I know if they were correct when the authors were willing to accept other unscientific or pseudoscientific explanations? And it would have been interesting to read about "qi" from an actual modern perspective. I have long suspected that thinking about "energy" is a useful mental tool. There is nothing surprising about that considering how suggestion works and how it's often useful to imagine something when trying to learn something. (Though "energy" can be a useful metaphor, it can also be pretty vacuous - anything can always be explained by saying energy does something or other.) I would have loved to hear an exposition of how you can use those mental images but what really happens at the same time. Some of the time, there was something like that here since modern physiological descriptions were used in addition to the "energy" ones, but treating "energy" as real rather than metaphorical prevented discussing that properly.

This book blew my mind. I've always been interested in sexuality and making love and now I finally have the time to focus on this fascinating area. The book is about how any man can experience multiple orgasms and dramatically enhance his sexual relationship. It should be on the bestseller lists! It was great for me to read, as a woman, because it gave me so much insight into male sexuality. The fact that men are as capable of having multiple orgasms as women was, for me, awe- inspiring. And, of course, multi-orgasmic men enjoy better health, vitality and longevity!

This gave me much to think about. The idea that men feel depleted after ejaculation is a very ancient one, and not just in the East – two and a half thousand years ago, the Greeks mused that it was caused by the jealousy of the gods. We may not think that now but it seems fair enough to suggest that after each ejaculation a man feels a sense of loss which may be essentially physiological but also has wider and deeper ramifications, psychological and spiritual. Many authorities, from the Romans to the Early Church Fathers to modern sports coaches, have suggested it is better to bottle things up rather than let them go…

This book draws on the Taoist tradition to suggest that separating orgasm from ejaculation is the way forward, and discusses in some detail (and with the help of many line illustrations) how it is possible to have lots of the former without any of the latter.

I am interested in Taoism and I am interested in sex (being in the unusual situation of enjoying a great deal of it in the last year or so, after many decades of near or total celibacy). So I found this interesting, though I am not entirely convinced by it. Oddly, some of the techniques reminded me of the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola. I wasn’t convinced by them either. But maybe I’m just too spiritually immature to take this seriously enough. I’d have liked more about the Taoism and maybe not quite so many drawings of willies.

The Multi-Orgasmic Man by Chai Mantak and Douglas Abrams is a great resource describing how to achieve the results the title suggests. Surprisingly, women I see in the clinic ask questions about this. Often the women acquire it and confirm the results, often accompanied by their mates.

More males reading this good book will, with patience and practice, enjoy the outcome. Double entendre intentional.

I recommend this book frequently.

Древните китайци и индийци затова са се намножили толкова, защото постоянно са мислили за секс и още преди хилядолетия са писали книги и са развили цяла философия, свързана с него.

Една от постоянните теми в древните текстове е запазването мъжката сексуална сила, която е свързана с цялостната житейска сила на тялото. Накратко казано, еякулацията те прави слаб и трябва да се въздържаш от нея колкото е възможно. Което има своите съвременни доказателства и спадът в тестостерона и освобождаването на други хормони след нея наистина прави мъжа по-летаргичен и задоволен от живота.

Проблемът с тая философия естествено е, че оргазмите са супер яки и ще е голяма загуба да се откажем от тях. За щастие, оргазмът и еякулацията имат различни нервни пътища и механизми в тялото и макар обикновено да се случват едновременно, това може да се промени и това е целта на книгата.

Тя съдържа различни древни техники за задържане на еякулацията и в последствие освобождаване само на оргазма. Някои от тях изглеждат полезни, но за съжаление авторът не се опитва да отсее зърното на работещите техники от гигантската купчина духовно-енергийна плява на древните поучения. Енергия чи циркулира от пъпа до езика ти и минава през мозъка и други подобни неща през цялата книга, което е доста досадно.

For those who gave and "urged" me to read this book,
Just wanna say.. *shaking hands in the air furiously*

DO YOU THINK I'M A SEX IMBECILE WHO NEEDS A GUIDANCE?!
DO I LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE SEX IDIOT TO YOU?!

*Whaadezziiiigghh*

Well, I can only added the book.
I "refuse" to rate this book for a personal reason :D
The funny thing is that somehow I remember a song that tell the story about a young man named Rael who tried to apply his first "romantic encounter" based on a guidance from a book of sex. The outcome? quiet disastrous, hahaha. *nyabet gitar*

Counting Out Time by Genesis
lyric : Gabriel
music : Banks/Collins/Hackett/Rutherford

I'm counting out time,
Got the whole thing down by numbers.
All those numbers!
Give me guidance!
O Lord I need that now.

The day of judgment's come,
And you can bet that I've been resting,
for this testing,
Digesting every word the experts say.
Erogenous zones I love you.
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Found a girl I wanted to date,
Thought I'd better get it straight.
Went to buy a book before it's too late.
Don't leave nothing to fate.
I studied every line, every page in the book,
Now, I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, take a look.

This is Rael!

I'm counting out time, hoping it goes like I planned it,
'cos I understand it. Look! I've found the hotspots, Figs 1-9.
- still counting out time, I got my finger on the button,
"Don't say nuttin - just lie there still
And I'll get you turned on just fine."
Erogenous zones I love you.
Without you, what would a poor boy do?

Touch and go with 1-6.
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7.
Gotta remember all of my tricks.
There's heaven ahead in No. 11!
Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils.
"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip, to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip.
Whipee!"

- Move over Casanova -

I'm counting out time, reaction none to happy,
Please don't slap me,
I'm a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail.
I'm counting out time, I got unexpected distress from my mistress,
I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away.
Erogenous zones I question you -
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Without you, what would a poor boy do?
Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues.


Hahaha.. Ditabok! Rasain lu! Sotoy sih...

I didn't read this book and i don't plan to. But every time I walk by the sexuality section (where it is faceout) the picture of the creepily smug man freaks me out. Not that publishers care about my opinion of male sexuality books, but it doesn't say "multiple orgasm man" to me -- it says mustache-twiddling Snidely Whiplash Boris-and-Natasha villain. "I can't pay the rent!" "You MUST pay the rent!" "I can't pay the rent!" "Rodrigo! Save me! Save me!" Etc.

This is the best non-fiction book I have ever read. Changed my life more than just about any other book I can think of. I call it my "bible" and go back to reread it every few years for a refresher course. Tantric sex without all the mumbo jumbo, just clear instructions and fun exercises that really work. I would love to hear if other people have had success too.

In response to Sarah, maybe the title and smug grinning man on the front will attract the kind of reader who will benefit most from this essential read for any young man. Obviously it would be lovely to think that our older men have already come by this knowledge somewhere along the line...

Some interesting perspectives, but it really lost me at the whole Tao stuff.
I think it contains some interesting basics into becoming more sexually aware.

I still need to figure out how much I'll believe in the TAO stuff.

Holy bananas Batman! This is a great book. (Sexually explicit material ahead. [Not smut or anything, but if you're reading a review on a book called "Multi-Orgasmic Man" you should expect some mention of body parts and whatnot. Hiding just in case you didn't put two and two together.])



Basically, this book is extremely sex positive, and I have learned a great deal. I intend to continue the practice, and I look forward to sharing this book with my kids, when the time comes. (Many, many years from now.)

Alright, this book was filled with gold nuggets. If I were to paste in my copious amount of notes, I'd probably violate copyrights for the book. It has been around eight months since reading this book, and while the delay of the review is was not at all because of procrastination, the review will benefit from me having experimented with what is in the book. Woho.

The book is essentially a Taoist perspective on how to master your sexuality as a man, mainly through the omission of ejaculation, to experience wilder and better orgasms. Yes, you read that right. You, as a man, can have orgasms without ejaculating, thus have more sexual pleasure.
One typical praise is that by omitting ejaculation, you can have as much sex as you want. You can control it, instead of "it" controlling you. I think for the majority of guys, the hardness of their dick becomes the bottleneck of their sex lives, and if you remove that bottleneck, well, you can have so much more sex and you don't need to worry about your dick so much. Sounds great until she gets mad at you for never ejaculating.

None of the testimonials said anything about the weird side-effects of doing this with another human being with their own needs. Anyway, moving on.

Part of the book is not only to stop ejaculating to have more sex but have more powerful and fulfilling orgasms. Some which are allegedly healthier. The idea here is that you don't really indulge in spicy fantasy or pornography, but you are using it as a meditation to deeply connect with your body and subtle sexual energies. So the idea is instead of a compulsive sexual behavior to ejaculate quickly, you are spending up to 30 minutes or 60 minutes just embracing sexual energy and letting the orgasm happen if it may.

Orgasms vary so much they ought not to be called the same thing. One is merely a leakage of fluid, like taking a piss with erotic stimulus (mental, digital, or otherwise psycho-visual) and a sense of relief, and another is a whole-body sensation, your whole body lights up like a Christmas tree, reaching every branch of your nervous system, even your toenail has a tiny orgasm. The former "orgasm" makes you feel empty afterward, the latter actually enlivens you, ("despite") ejaculating too. This really spits in the face of part of the no fap or semen retention community that says any orgasm or ejaculating is intrinsically draining you.

I don't have any scientific papers at hand, but as someone who is more than averagely concerned with omission of ejaculation and men's sexual health, I do think that the Christmas tree orgasm is actually healthy and vitalizing, and when I tried it, it genuinely felt like a wholesome experience rather than the post-fap depression, lethargy, and shame. The book references an old Taoist belief that orgasms make you live longer. Having had strong orgasms like this, my intuition tells me they're probably right. Having said that, I am actually ambivalent about recommending it.

The problem is that it takes some repetition on the slippery ice before you actually realize you're falling, and once you've fallen, it's hard to get back up, so it's better to just stay on your feet. Due to the expediency and the way our brain works (efficiency, dopamine...), it's actually really hard in practice to maintain a healthy masturbatory habit in the long term, and in my experience, it's just easier and healthier in the long run to just abstain. If I were to give advice, I'd just try the exercises and see how you feel afterward, but be wary that if you're successfully abstaining from masturbation, starting to do these exercises might open Pandora's box and can lead you into the trenches of battling compulsive masturbation, in case you're predisposed for that type of thing.
Orgasms

So. Ejaculations and orgasms are two different things. Ejaculation is a release of cum from your penis, and an orgasm is primarily a neurological event. We associate them as the same thing because they happen in a very short time span together. Experimenting with the advice in the book, I've experienced myself that the orgasm happens prior to the ejaculation, and thus confirmed for myself that the ejaculation is unnecessary.

But why should we quit ejaculation? The theory is you're able to have orgasms and still continue to make love, you won't lose your erection from an orgasm, but your prowess will be diminished from an ejaculation. Second, there seems to be a serious drainage of a man's vitality, not only sexual but overall after an ejaculation.

There is an ancient idea that sperm is connected with a man's life force, and I kind of buy that idea; it relates deeply to my personal experience. But I'm not entirely convinced that's the entire story. I followed the advice of the book, did the kegel exercises, and then I tried to masturbate and stop the ejaculation using the now super strong pelvic floor muscles and pressing on the spot between the anus and the root of the penis to stop the emission of cum. And voila, I managed to stop an ejaculation that was actually beyond the point of no return. Cool! But I still feel as though the sexual energy vaporized. My erection was not able to just bounce back up again. It was as if I had actually come, despite no cum leaving my physical body. I believe the cum is kind of washed away into the urinary tract and gets absorbed into general-purpose stuff. I don't think it just goes straight back into the balls, or wherever they are stored as masculine prowess. Even though the raw materials don't leave the boundaries of the physical body, I think there is some vitality loss in the recycling and "reproduction" of the semen. And despite being allegedly an ancient practice, it doesn't feel entirely healthy to do this, my gut tells me. Maybe I'm not doing it right. At least nothing got stuck in a fan.
...
As the body prepares for ejaculation, your testicles are pulled into the body - you can pull the testicles down away, which is an age-old method for giving you some breathing room.
Speaking of which, ejaculation is deeply coupled with your breath. Holding the breath will lead you to cum, whereas taking in the oxygen will delay it. This is partly why suffocation helps with orgasms. If you're not that close, you hold your breath to calm the circulation of the sexual energy, which delays ejaculation. Complicated stuff.

Breathing is connected to heart rate, both of which are related to orgasm. If you want to orgasm faster, increase the rate of breathing; if you want to delay it, deliberately take steps to slow down your breathing, e.g., box breathing. Five seconds out, five in, hold five. Repeat.

As Mantak Chia points out, if you breathe shallowly, stopping at the chest, you're prone to premature ejaculation. Not only that, but your orgasms will be weak too. From Wilhelm Reich, to Alexander Lowen, to David Deida, to Mantak Chia, to Paul Chek, all of these learned men agree that the breath, and the free flow of breathing, especially deep breathing, is the key to better, stronger orgasms and durability in sex. While love conquers all, simply making a habit to breathe through the nose into your stomach may do wonders for your sex life. Yoga, despite not seeming very masculine, is actually an invaluable tool to become better in bed, not only for the energetic/oxygen flow, but regular practice guarantees a minimum viable level of looseness in the pelvic floor.

The cool thing about masturbating without any erotic elements is that you start to learn how things are wired together in the body since you really have to rely on the physical. The book talks about how touching certain spaces will release sexual energy, like the nipples and neck. Also, you can experiment with holding around your own neck and slightly pressing against the airways and see what happens with the sexual airways. I don't think there's actually a huge difference between men and women in terms of the subtle sexual energies and the different body parts and how it all fits together, so there's a lot to learn by self-experimentation.

"Choking" has garnered a lot of attention in the media lately, as if it's merely boys trying to mimic porn, to the harm of overly agreeable women. This goes to show that people haven't actually paid attention to the subtle sexual energies that are connected to different parts of the body, or have done any self-experimentation at all, whether that be men or women. Men tend to masturbate in terms of jackhammering themselves; I remember Louis C.K. made the joke that a man "intensely masturbating" is a tautology, since there's no way, for a man, of masturbating without furious intensity. Well, without erotic stimulation, real, virtual, or mental, brute force isn't actually all that useful in the long run, and you kind of have to seduce your body with gentle touch and mindfulness. I think that when you're doing this on yourself, it's a unique learning experience since the feedback loop is so tight, accurate, and immediate, instead of relying on "practice" with women.

Another point of interest is that I've noticed that moving sexual energy with my conscious attention is not entirely bullshit. When I'm close to orgasm, I can push myself over the edge simply by redirecting sexual energy down into my sex center, my balls, kind of, and then hold it there longer than I normally would, to facilitate the climax.

One thing they talked about is that men have different types of orgasms, like women. One is what they call penile orgasm, which is the conventional one, and then there's the prostate orgasm, that is triggered from stimulation of the perineum.

The body is connected sort of like electrical currents, where there is a non-physical field, a flow of energy. There is a flow of energy going up the spine, and down your belly, and with breath and directing your attention into it, you can start to tap into it and magnify it. As you get more adept at this, you can kind of move sexual energy around in your body, which is pretty neat. Feels like you are in control of it rather than it controlling you.

"You must learn to draw your sexual energy out of your genitals and to circulate it through the rest of your body to truly master the Taoist techniques for experiencing multiple and whole-body orgasms and for improving your health."

What I feel is missing from this book is the discussion on morality, more importantly, the battle with lust, for example. What I don't like is that the author presents this pursuit mainly as one of controlling the breath, energy, channeling, etc. All you have to do is use conscious awareness to move sexual energy about, and just simply drag your testicles away from your body to stop a premature ejaculation, do kegels, etc. But beyond the tip of the iceberg of practical tips, there exists a vast underworld of lust, psychological issues, and an entire realm of sexuality that is not appropriate to talk about in good company. Maybe the author and his prospects of testimonials cannot relate, but from my experience, it's really unrealistic. I think there's something much more going on than merely having the skillset of delaying ejaculation.

The reason why so few men become multi-orgasmic is not because it is technically difficult to do, but because we all wrestle with the devil, if you may. I really think that one of the greatest motivations to ejaculate is to dim the intensity of life itself. Buddha said that life is suffering, and it's true. Eros is at the core of our being. And Eros is suffering. The worm at the core of our lives is that we're never going to be satisfied. And worse, even if I get the object of desire, and fulfill the object of desire, what the erotic drive is after, it only grows. There is no escape, no satisfaction, we're all falling mid-air and there's no bottom.

To simply brush this under the carpet and pretend we're all good, and that sexuality is just about having orgasms and it's all rainbow and sunshine, coupled with not mentioning women's warranted dislike of abstaining from ejaculation, well, it's missing a big part of the story. Maybe we modern Westerners are just uniquely neurotic enough to appreciate sexual secrets of ancient Taoism, but I can't help but feel that authors such as Mantak Chia or David Deida could benefit from being more realistic and down to earth.

Chia believes that we Westerners have tried to suppress or sublimate our desires, and that this leads to physical and psychological imbalances. Perhaps the problematic part of sexuality stems from this fact. But the difficulty is that if we just give in to sexual arousal at any point and embrace it unquestioningly, well, we end up kind of washed away, don't we? The core issue with sex, at least for men, is that you're doomed if you do, doomed if you don't.

The author calls masturbation "self-cultivation," and feelings of arousal will result not in uncontrollable sexual urges, but in an energetic, calm sense of being.

Then he goes on to say that you can take up Tai Chi to help you ground and channel this additional energy. And that exercise, in general, will help you manage this additional energy. This leads me to question, what exactly is "additional energy" in this context? It's kind of strange rhetoric to criticize sex-negative Western sexual sublimation of sexual energy, yet embrace sex-positive Eastern "energetic reallocation" of "additional energy." I don't have much problem with using the ambiguous word "energy" unless you're using the ambiguity to sneak past difficult questions. It all seems to be he's describing the same phenomenon, with different words and attitudes based on the hemisphere of the globe.

Mantak Chia writes that "Cultivating your sexual energy into loving-kindness will also help you not to ejaculate; it is much more difficult to maintain control when you are feeling anger or impatience."

This seems like a typical Western form of sublimation, if not Freudian, then at least Platonic, in terms of Plato's ladder of Love. While to "Cultivate" is a beautiful verb, it still means that we're transforming sexual energy into something more preferable, thus, you could interpret this if not as sex-negative, then at least putting "sex" beneath "love."

If we were to assume Chia to have positive views of good ol' sex, we could interpret "cultivate" as something more akin to "color." That's at least the way I tend to see it. Sexual energy is often colored by other emotions, lust, love, anger, anxiety, impatience, kindness, etc. The way we express and eventually climax through the cultivation of these emotions fueled by sexual energy determines whether it will be a draining or fulfilling exercise.

Anyway, I think Chia is right. Loving-kindness helps you maintain stronger erections, orgasms, etc., and this fits in well with my thesis that there is actually no conflict between sexual pleasure and ethics; actually, they are reinforcing each other. C.S. Lewis wrote: "The old Christian teachers said that if man had never fallen, sexual pleasure, instead of being less than it is now, would actually have been greater."

Practical stuff:

Chia writes: "Women who have developed strong PC muscles can hold a man's penis in their vagina more tightly, increasing sensation for both partners."

Men can also develop their PC muscles to strengthen their erections, intensify orgasms, and it helps separate their orgasms from ejaculation. Mantak Chia pointed out you EXHALE during CONTRACTION, and INHALE when RELEASING. This was counter-intuitive from a weight-lifting background, but it works better. Chia suggested a benchmark for healthy PC muscles: you can raise and lower a towel with your erect penis by contracting the muscle.

As the book progresses, we're introduced to more advanced techniques, such as the Big Draw, where you can have a massive orgasm through visualizing sexual energy out of your penis, past your perineum, up your spine. I've tried it a little bit so far, and while I'm nowhere near having "Big Draw Energy," I've felt stronger orgasms as a result of aiming for the stars.

"... you need to open your heart and practice with a spirit of humility and loving-kindness, not arrogance and self-centeredness."

"The point of lovemaking is to make love, and from this love come pleasure and health; it is not about generating sexual energy for yourself or demonstrating your skill."

Important words! The most counter-productive thing you can do is identify yourself as a sex master and enter the bedroom as if it's a performance to validate your own ego or impress her. Don't think "how many orgasms can I give her," that will make things mechanical (a vibrator will always beat you on that front), but think "I want to express my love," that's how you have fulfilling sex. A man is immature if they brag about how many orgasms they "give" their women, as if it's a pissing contest or a reliable metric of performance.

Don't ask if a woman has orgasmed, or how many. I actually think you shouldn't pay any attention to her orgasms or lack thereof, except when it's obvious she's close, then don't just stop altogether (she'll get mad!). Don't give a woman a reason to fake an orgasm to please your ego. The way to satisfy women is that you do put in effort, you have to care, but you don't try. Yes, it's paradoxical, even contradictory, welcome to the world of women.

Random notes time:

After the sexual revolution, men lasted on average ten minutes in bed instead of two.

If a woman gets frequent infections, encourage her to urinate after having sex.

Intercourse during menstruation can relieve cramping. (useful backup argument!)

It's not a rare occurrence that women's strongest orgasm ever has been during masturbation. Ask a woman to masturbate in front of you to see what she actually likes. You can fast-forward all the unnecessary experimentation and get the correct answers just by looking at her do it. Don't forget to pay attention!

Soft entry: Despite popular belief, you don't need to have a steel erection before having intercourse. Enter soft, and it will function as a natural warmup.

Chia incorrectly says there is no way of permanently increasing the size of the penis, and refers to just good ol' channeling of sexual energy. But no, you can increase both the length and girth of the penis. For more information, I'd refer to the /r/gettingbigger subreddit.

In conclusion: I haven't really had the capacity, or interest, to try all of the things in the book. It was a bit of an information overload, and I think it deserves a second read at some point. There is a ton of practical information, with exactly how to do things, step by step.

This is my first “sexual” book I’ve ever read. I first heard of this multiple orgasm concept from the author on London Reel, which pushed me to read the book. It’s an OKAY book I wouldn’t really recommend reading it. I mean if you’re new to sex or maybe your partner isn’t really enjoying what your doing then there might be some tips in it for you. As far as the multiple orgasms go for men it seems like a complicated process to do on your own. The book makes it seem like it would take a lot of practice and self control. Maybe I’m being to hard on the book. It does have a good anatomy section I will give it 5 stars on the anatomy section specify.

I read this book to learn about the Taoist medical principles and their methods, heard about it on a youtube video on semen retention.I was concerned about the crazy ejaculations indulged by everyone and hopelessly wasted their precious(veerya):connoting diamond in indian literature, which is precious energy and advised not to waste on imaginary fantasies.
The book says that transmission of sexual energy is possible to all parts of the body for males and females.
Many successful people utilised this highly powerful sexual energy to enhance their activities to achieve peak performance.

Hey... All you gotta do is wrap your finger and thumb around your shaft and give your testicles a couple taps and you're good to go. Yes those exercises are actually in this book. Also, I feel like half of these exercises might actually make you injure yourself. Good joke read but I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Read with a group of friends to laugh at. Best take away:

Just dip your junk in water. It’ll suck it up and get bigger.
