Sexual Kung-Fu

There wasn’t in *this* thread. I was merely reporting what I was seeing on *other* forums dedicated to Qi Gong. TaoBums.com for example. There is little love for Chia there. The same goes at the other Qi Gong Forums I lurked. I was just so surprised because he is held in high regard here. But Thunders is seemingly not the norm. In fact…come to think of it…Thunders is the *only* forum I’ve seen where Chia is held in high regard. In every other forum I lurked people came out of the woodwork to slam him.

Oh ok, my bad. :)

In any case, you know when someone gets good at something people will find everything possibly wrong with the things he does, especially the ones that don’t have anything except their bickering.
To me, Chia is simply one more vantage point from which to view this whole topic of body energetics (making this one up) and as such equally valid as about any other view you can find.

In the end what it all comes down to is: Does it work _well_ for _ME_ ? If yes, that’s the correct way for me; if not, it isn’t. It’s simple as that.

Good day to you,

I think the big problem lots of the Taoist sites have with Chia is that Chia is many Western people’s first contact with Taoist principles. If they are ‘serious’ Taoist sites, they would probably rather be discussing the Tao Te Ching or deeper philosophical principles, rather than have people find their sites through an interest in Chia’s work. To them, studying Taoism is about far more important matters than just having better sex, so it’s understandable that they are concerned that the Western world’s perception of Taoism is perhaps overly strongly influenced by Chia.

Laying Taoism aside, and returning to the nei gong/Qi Gong perspective, as I’ve mentioned above, Chia’s work is a small part of the whole. It’s a bit like going to the gym and spending an hour a day working on just your biceps. Naturally, your biceps will improve, but it would be far better to work your entire body and, when you have a firm foundation in weight training and your whole body is strong, spend a little extra time on your biceps.

I think there is also a strong feeling amongst many Qi Gong practitioners that Chia wrote his books more to make money than to pass on valuable knowledge and that he tends to only present what he thinks people want to read. I don’t think there is anything intrinsically wrong with that; all knowledge is useful; but I think it needs to be looked at for what it is. Having said that, I haven’t read any of his books for some time, and my own knowledge has moved on since. Maybe I should re-read them and see what I think of them now.

What could possibly be more important than having better sex? :D

I cannot conceive! :)

Ancient Taoist fertility practice can help with that! :chuckle:

More, better sex.

I believe I have just done this.

Only problem is I release/ejaculated.

Was the biggest load I have ever seen.. Like half a cup full rather than a few table spoons
