The Tao of Loving

The conspiracy by men to repress women that has existed for over five thousand years extends even to the bedroom. For all this time, men have rarely considered women’s pleasure at all.
“In ancient China, however, it was basic to the philosophy of Taoism. When the Tao of Loving was first formulated, Chinese society had only just changed from a matriarchy to a patriarchy. The position of women at that point was still nearly equal to that of men.” (The Tao of Love and Sex, p. 71)
Since those early days in China, the male viewpoint has come to dominate, and, until recently, women have been considered lesser beings, to be used for man’s pleasure and to make babies. Women have even been seen as dangerous, as vampires who take a man’s vital essence and use it to stay young and strong at the man’s expense. A woman who enjoys sex has come to be seen either as a temptress to be shunned or else as a slut to be condemned.
However, beginning near the turn of last century, the studies of Ellis, Freud, and others gave impetus to the then revolutionary idea that women could and should be sexually satisfied. Today the work of these pioneers has born fruit, and women are again beginning to be accorded equal rights in the bedroom.
But even today, most women are not getting the physical love and affection that they need. This must change! Half of the world cannot be miserable while the other half is blissfully unaware. And it is so unnecessary too! A man who has learned the Tao of Loving, a man who can control himself and his ejaculations, “can completely satisfy his partner without fail. In turn, he will find his own erotic pleasure tremendously enhanced.” (p. 78)
Everywhere I go, I see women who are bitter and who have given up on love. More awareness and love from their men would quickly end this. And if all women were sexually satisfied, half of the world would immediately be happier and more fulfilled. Their partners would be too. A fun and easy way to save the world!
