The Art of The Bedchamber

Long before modern sex therapy, the Taoists understood sex as healthcare. Sexual energy was not something to be spent or depleted, but life-energy itself, capable of nourishing the body, calming the nervous system, deepening intimacy, and sustaining long-term vitality.

In this episode, I explore Taoist sexual principles including Yin–Yang dynamics in intimacy, why women’s pleasure was considered central to health and longevity, the idea of abundant arousal with intentional ejaculation, the Sets of Nine rhythm, and the circulation of sexual energy through the Microcosmic Orbit.

If sex has ever felt unsatisfying, draining, or disconnected from vitality, this episode offers a profound yet practical re-education, revealing how sex can restore, regulate, and renew rather than exhaust.
