The Deer Exercise for Men

The Deer Exercise achieves
four important objectives.
First, it builds up the tissues
of the sexual organs. Second,
it draws energy up through six

this is achieved by
discontinuing the menstrual
period by practicing the
women's Deer Exercise. When
a woman stops bleeding, she
will no longer lose great
amounts of energy contained in
the blood. Cessation of
menstruation occurs naturally
during menopause, which is in
reality a great blessing for
women. The Deer Exercise
anticipates the reversal of
energy loss.

During the first forty years of

life, according to actuarial
figures, men and women die at
about the same rates. This may
be because men and women
deplete themselves at
equivalent rates that is, men
lose energy through ejacuation
and women lose energy
through menstruation. The
statistics change for those in
their fifties: the death rate for
women becomes 25% lower
than for men. It is also a fact
that many women in their
fifties stop bleeding after
passing through menopause. It
is also a fact that men continue
to ejaculate in their fifties. This
figure doubles when women
are in their sixties (almost all
women stop bleeding, whereas
men continue to ejaculate). The
figure becomes even more
dramatic for septuagenarians:
the death rate for men becomes
75% higher than that for
women. The fact that men
continue to ejaculate
throughout their lives may be a
much over-looked reason why
there are so many widows and
so few widowers.

Some people may still feel that

stopping ejaculation is
unnatural, regardless of the
arguments against ejaculation.
Lurking in their hearts may be
a conviction that death is
natural and that it should not be
tampered with. Ejaculation and
death are natural at the human
level of consciousness. But at
the Divine level of
consciousness, what may
otherwise be considered
unnatural may be considered
natural and necessary.

According to Taoist teachings,

a Divine life exists beyond
human life. God gave us a
choice between death or an
opportunity to achieve Divine,
or perpetual, life. If we choose
the latter, we must prevent
ejaculation or menstruation in
accordance with Taoist
principles. Whether or not we
reach the Divine Kingdom will
be determined in part by how
we practice the Deer Exercises.

How can such a simple

technique have such a profound
effect? The answer lies in the
semen which is retained in the
body.

During ordinary orgasm and

ejaculation, the prostate
contracts and expands,
pumping its secretions out of
the body, until it is depleted.
Pressing the Lion controls and
decreases the rate at which the
prostate is emptied. The
prostate does not get depleted
as quickly, and semen is
prevented from entering the
penis. Instead, it remains in the
prostate where it is absorbed
into the blood stream and
carried to the rest of the body.
The prostate is still emptied,
but at a greatly reduced rate.
Some prostates are emptied in
fractions of a second in regular
orgasms. With depression of
the Lion, it may take as long as
five minutes to empty the
prostate. This results in a five-
minute long orgasm!

Even more important than the

longer and more intense
orgasm is the fact that the
energy and nutrients of the
semen are reserved for the
body. Inside the body, the
semen is dispersed throughout
the Seven Glands to energize
them. The semen further
benefits the body by providing
energy and nutrients to
energize the entire body, by
lubricating the skin and joints,
and by lubricating and coating
the nerves to prevent disorders
such as multiple sclerosis.

In acupunture, the Lion is

referred to as the Number One
Conception Meridian, or Jen-
Mo #1. This point is an "energy
gate" through which our bodies
continuously leak energy to the
surroundings. Abstinence from
sex will not prevent this
leakage. Sexual intercourse, in
fact, prevents energy leakage.
So, when you press this point
during sexual intercourse, you
not only prevent the loss of
semen from the body, but also
check the loss of vital energy
from your body. Another way
of preventing energy loss
involves our sitting positions.
The Taoist sitting position, one
that involves pressingg the heel
of one foot against the Jen-Mo
#1, blocks the pathway of
energy loss. (The tip of the
tongue is another point of
energy leakage. In Taoist
meditation it is recommended
that you curve the tip of your
tongue to the roof of your
mouth in order to retain the
energy in your body.)

The Lion technique is

particularly useful to athletes
before a game or competition.
Many of them like to use sex as
a way of relaxing, yet they are
concerned about becoming
tired before the competition. By
using this point they will banish
their worries; they will feel
great when the time tocompete
arrives.

It is also useful for a woman to

know about the Lion. With it
she can help her husband or
lover obtain greater satisfaction
from intercourse. When
someone else presses the point
for a man when he reaches
orgasm, his pleasure increases
incredibly. At that moment the
Lion will become a priceless
treasure. A student of mine told
me that she did not say
anything about the technique
when she was with a new
partner. When the time camee
she would reach over and press
the point. She said that her
partners were well impressed
with their orgasmic
experiences. She also confided
that she takes the credit rather
than explaining the technique.

If a man suffers from premature

ejaculation, pressing the Lion
may prevent it from happening,
but it will not cure it. Pressing
the point will only help the
superficial symptoms of
premature ejaculation. The
underlying cause of premature
ejaculation, a weak prostate,
must be dealt with in other
ways. For complete correction
of the problem, Parts I and 2 of
the Deer Exercise for men are
recommended, as they
strengthen the prostate. Prostate
Massage is also invaluable.
Lotus seeds, saw palmetto
berries, and pumpkin seeds in
the diet will also benefit the
prostate.

Historical records show that, in

the agricultural society of old,
peasants have always
welcomed newborn family
members, as workers were
always needed. Being able to
conceive many children was
considered a blessing. The
nobility, on the other hand, had
more complex considerations,
such as the intelligence of the
child, his legitimacy, heritage,
 status, etc. Their needs were
met by the Lion. It was used to
avoid unwise, unnecessary,
illegal, or untimely
pregnancies. (These men
believed in "Seed Protection":
they did not want their own
flesh and blood to suffer
because of their lust or
mistakes.) The Lion played a
very important role in family
planning.

Although the Lion is valuable

and pleasurable, it will soon be
left behind once the beginner
experiences other, more
advanced techniques, like the
Deer Exercise.

The Male Deer Exercise

Simple Qi Gong for Men's Vitality, Sexual Health, and Pleasure,
It ends premature ejaculation and impotence, reduces sexual 'edginess', and
promotes male full-body orgasm...

Simple, quick, and very pleasurable, The Male Deer Exercise is the best known men's
health exercise from taoist qi gong.
To be effective, it should be performed daily. When properly and regularly enjoyed, results will
be seen in anywhere from a week or two in young men to a month or two in seniors.

It cultivates sexual energy, improves overall vitality and mental alertness, improves sexual
enjoyment, and reduces or eliminates many common men's ailments (see the bottom of this
article for a partial list).

The Male Deer Exercise is performed without clothing, once daily, preferably in the
morning.

It is best practiced with an erection, but will provide some benefit even without one. If necessary,
one may masturbate to produce the erection, but starting with "morning wood" is all the better.
The male deer exercise is best performed with the bladder comfortably empty.

This men's sexual qi gong exercise tonifies the male endocrine system, increasing overall
vitality, sensuousness, centeredness, and turns uncomfortable bottled-up sexual desire into
relaxed, enjoyable sensuality. It is thought to increase both DHEA and spermine (a polyamine
thought to activate RNA polymerase).

The Posture:
Sit comfortably, either crosslegged or on the edge of a chair, with your genitals hanging in free
space. Make sure you are not in a drafty or cold area.

The Male Deer Exercise has two steps::

First, a pleasurable circular pelvic (dan tien) massage performed while cupping the genitals at
specific points, and second, a pelvic floor exercise called 'holding firm,' similar to a kegel
exercise.

a) The Pelvic Massage:

Remove any clothing or jewelry, and sit in the posture described above. Warm your hands by
rubbing them vigorously together. Now cup the right hand around the testicles, holding them
gently and warming the scrotum. the thumb of the right hand should rest on top of the base of the
penis shaft, right next to the abdomen.

Now place your left palm over the dan' tien (the center of the palm should be covering the point
4 finger widths below your navel). Circle the palm around this point, below the navel but above
the base of the penis, 81 times, gently chafing the skin. You may find that it creates small knots
in the hair of your "happy trail", so you may need to trim these out. But it will be worth it.

Next, switch hands and repeat. The circular massage will be turning in the opposite direction.
The direction does not matter, as long as each hand goes a different way, so that both clockwise
and counterclockwise are covered.

Enjoy the sensations and connect with the warm pleasurable feelings. Should you startto lose
your erection, you may gently stimulate yourself back to hardness, and proceed with the
exercise. For general purposes of vitality and health and increased sensitivity, 81 repetitions each
direction are recommended.

b) "Holding Firm" - the pelvic contraction.

First, rest your hands in your lap. Form your hands into fists by encircling your thumbs in the
other fingers. This activates a number of important acupressure points. Next, while breathing
deeply and comfortably in and out, contract and lift the perineum - the muscles between the base
of the scrotum and the anus. Keep breathing in a deep, relaxed manner while holding the
contraction as long as you comfortably can, usually about a minute. You only need to do this
step once.
During the contraction, try to keep the anal sphincter and stomach muscles relaxed while
squeezing and lifting only the perineal muscles. (You can learn to isolate the mucles by feeling
them contract against the pads of your fingers. Oh - smile and enjoy the experience while you
contract your muscles! Feel the connection between the tingle in the pelvic floor, the tingle in
your spine, and the tingle in your brain. enjoy it! If it's hard for you to locate the muscles to
contract and lift, just think of the muscles you use to stop urination in mid-stream, and contract!

Effects of the Male Deer Exercise:

The dan tien/ pelvic massage stage of the deer exercise massages an acupressure point while
exercising the tissue around the vas deferens, and the central erector muscle of the penis. This
has the effect of de-sensitizing the glans (taking you off of "hair-trigger" mode), while increasing
the bloodflow and sensitivity of the rest of the penis and pelvis. The cupping of, and gentle
pressure on the testes, increases blood flow and sperm (and spermine) production. This in turn
increases blood and lymphatic circulation, releases beneficial hormones including DHEA, and
increases neural development. It can increase both fullness and bouyancy of the erection by
strengthening suspensory ligaments and muscles while increasing blood and lymphatic
movement in the penis...

The pelvic floor lift tones strengthens the muscles of the penis and the ligaments supporting the
vas deferens, increases fertility, and also increases pelvic bloodflow and relaxed sensitivity. It
also draws energy from the seminal fluid upward to the spine and brain, and manipulates the
vagus nerve, increasing the potential for whole-body orgasm

Together, the two phases of the male deer exercise spread sexual pleasure and energy throughout
the body, increasing the potential for whole-body orgasm. By regulating male hormones and
increasing bloodflow, they also help to prevent or cure impotence and premature ejaculation, to
strengthen the erection, to reduce incidence of prostate disease, and give greater sexual control,
endurance, and sensitivity.

It should be noted that along with increasing sexual health, enjoyment, mental clarity, and
overall vitality, the exercise increases male fertility and virility. Appropriate precautions should
always be taken to prevent an unplanned pregnancy, and the possible transmission of venereal
disease!

You can learn more about this version of the Male Deer Exercise in the following books on Qi
Gong. The version above appears in Kenneth S. Cohen's The Way of Qi Gong (Forward by
Larry Dossey, MD).
The Female Deer Exercise:
Simple Qi Gong for Women's Vitality, Sexual
Health, and Pleasure
Simple, quick, and very pleasurable, The Female Deer Exercise is the best known
women's exercise from taoist qi gong.
It cultivates sexual energy, improves overall vitality and mental alertness, improves sexual
enjoyment, and reduces or eliminates many common women's ailments (see the bottom of
this article for a partial list).

The Female Deer Exercise is performed without clothing, once or twice daily,
except during menstruation or pregnancy.

This women's sexual qi gong exercise tonifies the female endocrine system, increasing
overall vitality, sensuality, centeredness, and turns uncomfortable bottled-up sexual desire
into relaxed, enjoyable sensuality.

The Posture:
Sit in siddhasana (on the floor or on a cushion, with one heel against the opening of the
vagina, exerting a gentle pressure on the clitoris. The other foot rests next to the shin).
Make sure you are not in a drafty or cold area. If the posture is difficult (because of
inflexible hips or knee pain), you may also use a small rubber ball between the heel and the
vagina to provide this gentle acupressure.

The Female Deer Exercise has two steps::

First, a pleasurable circular massage of the breasts, and second, a pelvic exercise
called 'holding firm,' similar to a kegel exercise.

a) The Breast Massage:

Remove any clothing or jewelry, and sit in the posture described above. Warm your hands
by rubbing them vigorously together. Now place them over the breasts.

Lightly rub in upward and outward circles. The hands travel together up the inside of the
breasts toward the face, then outwards, downwards, inwards, and upwards again. Lightly
chafe the skin in circular motions with the nipples at the center of the circle. Do not hold the
breasts and move them - skim the surface of the skin.

Enjoy the sensations and connect with the warm pleasurable feelings. This is important to
increase the connections between the nerves and endocrine glands in the breasts and the
center of the brain and the pineal and pituitary glands in your head. Plus, it sensualizes you,
and gives your cognitive mind a short break. For general purposes of vitality, health and
increased sensitivity, 36 repetitions are recommended, once or twice a day.

b) "Holding Firm" - the pelvic contraction.

First, rest your hands in your lap. Form your hands into fists by encircling your thumbs in
the other fingers. This activates a number of important acupressure points. Next, tighten
the muscles of the vagina as though contracting it. Keep breathing in a deep, relaxed
manner while holding the contraction as long as you comfortably can. You only need to do
this step once after each 36-rotation breast massage.

During the contraction, try to keep the anal sphincter and stomach muscles relaxed while
squeezing and lifting only the vaginal muscles. (You can learn to isolate the mucles by
feeling them contract against the pads of your fingers. Oh - smile and enjoy the experience
while you contract your muscles! Feel the connection between the tingle in the pelvic floor,
the tingle in your spine, and the tingle in your brain. enjoy it! If it's hard for you to locate
the muscles to contract and lift, just think of the muscles you use to stop urination in mid-
stream, and contract!

Effects of the Female Deer Exercise:

The breast massage stage of the deer exercise stimulates the nerves of the nipples and
breasts. This in turn increases circulation, releases the hormones oxytocin, DHEA, and
more, and increases neural development and blood and lymphatic circulation. It can
increase both fullness and bouyancy of the bust by strengthening suspensory ligaments and
muscles while increasing blood and lymphatic movement in the breasts...

The pelvic exercise tones strengthens the vaginal muscles and the ligaments supporting the
ovaries and fallopian tubes, increases fertility, and and increases pelvic bloodflow and
relaxed sensitivity.

Together, the two phases of the female deer exercise spread sexual pleasure and energy
throughout the body, increasing the potential for clitoral, vaginal, and whole-body orgasm.
By regulating female hormones and increasing bloodflow, they also help to prevent or cure
PMS, irregular menstruation, anemia, sterility, ovarian cysts, vaginal discharge, fibroids,
incontinence, and more.

It should be noted that along with increasing sexual health, enjoyment, mental clarity, and
overall vitality, the exercise increases fertility, so appropriate precautions should be taken
to prevent an unplanned pregnancy!

You can learn more about this version of the Female Deer Exercise in the following books on
Qi Gong. The version above appears in Kenneth S. Cohen's The Way of Qi Gong
(Forward by Larry Dossey, MD).

The Real Kama Sutra is not Tantra...

This e-letter is not intended for persons under the age of 18.
Dear Friend,

Tantra and the Kama Sutra are often lumped together by sex writers today. But as you'll find
out below, the two, very worthy subjects are only distantly related!

Modern sexual marketing has ensured that the first things most people envision when they hear
"Kama Sutra" are images of statues with entwined limbs and bodies in exotic sexual positions.
These images are the frequently re-printed photographs of explicitly sensual statues in the Dakini
temples of Southern India. These are tantric temples - but the only relationship between the
pictures and the Kama Sutra is the 30 or so love positions mentioned in that Text...

Many illustrated books and websites about the Kama Sutra contain only these few chapters - the
ones on sexual positions, methods of embrace, kissing, scratching, biting, touching...

But only getting these excerpts is to limit yourself as a sensualist. The Kama Sutra is much more.
But it's not, strictly speaking, tantric...

Any good lover can tell you that arousal and captivation are more than just sexual techniques,
that knowing 30 sexual positions isn't enough to keep a lover thinking about your naked body,
even years later... Understanding the mind and senses of your lover fosters an eroticism far more
ecstatic and profound than just learning techniques... Tantra takes that one step further and
couples spiritual ecstasy with this sensual and sexual bliss. This step is what's missing from the
Kama Sutra...

"Kama Sutra" is frequently mistranslated as "the arts of love," but really, Kama means "love,
pleasure, and the life of the senses" and a Sutra is a group of aphorisms - short, pithy sayings.

The Kama Sutra was written by Mallanaga of the clan or sept called Vatsyayana. Mallanaga was
a holy man, a seer, and a sage, and in all of the spiritual senses of the word, a tantric. He
worshipped the Divine as both feminine and masculine, and lived primarily a religious life.

He wrote the Kama Sutra for the ruling class, which at that time in India's history was the
Kshatriya, or Warrior caste. Based on mentions of 1st Century historical figures in the Kama
Sutra, and on mentions of the Kama Sutra in early 5th Century works, we know that Mallanaga
Vatsyayana wrote the Sutra sometime between the 1st and 4th Centuries A.D.

In writing his treatise, Mallanaga Vatsyayana wrote:

"...an intelligent person, attending to Dharma (the spiritual life and obligations) and Artha
(worldly welfare and the obligations of society), and attending to Kama also, without becoming
the slave of his passions, obtains success in everything he may undertake"

Kama Sutra begins with a salutation to the Divine balance of these three principles, Dharma,
Artha, and Kama.

There are no tantric sexual or spiritual practices (puja) in the Kama Sutra. There are, however, a
few examples of simple magical tantra - the making of charms, potions, and amulets - in the final
chapters titled "On Attracting Others".

In fact, most of the spiritual and sexual Tantras (tantric teachings) were only oral tradition in
Vatsyayana's time. It wasn't until several centuries later that the Tantras were turned into
scripture (The tantras were written down beginning in the 5th century, and continuing through
the 19th century...)
To someone who has bought "Tantra for Dummies," or any similar books written by a
marketing-savy western sexologists with no Tantric background, the lack of "tantric" material in
the Kama Sutra may be quite a surprise. Vatsyayana, like his peers, kept the tantric secrets secret
- as oral tradition.

So don't look to Kama Sutra to spiritualize your lovemaking, but do look to it to understand
sensuality and human nature.

Look to the Kama Sutra for exactly the purpose for which it was written: As a manual for
satisfying, balancing and enjoying the realm of the senses.

The Kama Sutra is simultaneously a manual of matchmaking, flirting, sensuality in life and in
sex, romantic love, human nature, attracting a man, turning on a woman, how to seduce a man,
how to captivate a woman, how to get a man or woman to marry you, arranged marriages,
affairs, gold-digging, the economics of love, affairs with courtesans, keeping the affections of a
lover or spouse, love potions, charms, and everything in between...

Mallanaga was brilliant in his insight that sexuality...

-----------------------------------------

begins before the bedroom, in the realm of the senses and in the imagination. He expresses that
attitude, bearing, and mystery are as important in love as technique. That simply knowing
positions and techniques doesn't captivate a lover. You must first capture their sensual
experience through suggestive conversation, smell, and brief touches...

This understanding of the importance of mental and emotional attitude, and of bodily focus, is
distinctive of a tantric. But it is applied only in its worldly form in the Kama Sutra.

In his own spiritual pursuits, Vatsyayana applied the same understanding to the pursuit of
Realization and Liberation. He was an acknowledged spiritual master of his time. It also seems
quite certain from his knowledge of women and their pleasures that his spirituality was sensual,
and not celibate.

So why did Mallanaga Vatsyayana *not* include tantric sexual practices in his most famous
work?

Because he knew that sexuality is only an appropriate spiritual tool for some. He wrote the Kama
Sutra for the ruling class - so they could balance and enjoy their sensual appetites with their
social and spiritual obligations as rulers. Not to pass on secrets he knew would be lost on many
of these students.

So feel free read the real Kama Sutra, exploring the power of your sensuality, just as you explore
your worldly and spiritual life. And if you want something deeper, if you feel drawn to Divine
expression within everything - including your sensuality - you won't find it in "Tantra for
Dummies." You'll find it by learning from real Tantrics!

For every student, there is a teacher.

Keep in touch, smile, breathe right, and keep your tongue up!

Sexual Healing: The Female Deer Exercise

The Female Deer Exercise is the best known women's exercise from Taoist
Chi Kung. It cultivates sexual energy, improves physical vitality and mental alertness, improves
sexual enjoyment, and reduces or eliminates many common women's ailments. It is simple to
perform, takes only a few minutes, and is very pleasurable.

There are two steps to the exercise: 1) a breast massage and 2) a pelvic contraction called
"holding firm," which is similar to a kegel exercise.

The Female Deer Exercise

Sit naked on a flat surface with your legs stretched out before you. Bend one leg and place the
heel at the entrance of your vagina so that it presses firmly against your clitoris. If this is not
comfortable, then place a hard ball there instead. The pressure should be consistently firm.

Now bring your other leg close to your body. Raise the foot of this leg and rest it on the calf of
the leg already in position. Insert the toes of the first bent leg between the calf and thigh of the
second bent leg. If this is too difficult, place the second leg in front of you. Sit as erect as you can
without straining. You can use a small pillow under the buttocks to sit more comfortably.

1) The Breast Massage

Rub your hands together quickly in order to create as much heat as possible. Then place them
over the breasts. Rub inwards with your hands and continue around your breasts in a circular
motion. The hands travel together up the inside of the breasts toward the face, then outwards,
downwards, inwards, and upwards again. Lightly chafe the skin in circular motions with the
nipples at the center of the circle. Do not hold the breasts and move them. Skim the surface of
the skin. Pause occasionally and rub your hands together to re-warm them.

Do a minimum of 36 circles and a maximum of 360 circles. A pleasant warm feeling may be
experienced at the breasts and genitals. This is a very good sign. It shows that you are
accumulating sexual energy.
The breast massage stage of the Female Deer Exercise stimulates the nerves of the nipples and
breasts. This increases circulation, releases the hormones oxytocin and DHEA, , and increases
neural development and blood and lymphatic circulation. It can increase both fullness and
buoyancy of the bust by strengthening the suspensory ligaments and muscles, while increasing
blood and lymphatic movement in the breasts.

2) Holding Firm
First, rest your hands in your lap. Form your hands into fists by encircling your thumbs in the
other fingers. This activates a number of important acupressure points. Next, tighten the muscles
of the vagina as though contracting it. Keep breathing in a deep, relaxed manner while holding
the contraction as long as you comfortably can, and then relax.

Contract and relax these muscles as many times as you can without strain. The correct feeling is
that you are trying to suck air up into your vaginal and anal openings. After about a month, the
muscle contractions will be easy to maintain.

You may experience a pleasant feeling that flows from the genitals to the top of the head. This
indicates that the sexual energy accumulated through this method is raising along the spine,
feeding the entire glandular endocrine systems.

The vagina greatly benefits from the Female Deer Exercise. It becomes tighter, meatier, and
more flexible. The exercise increases circulation in the sexual organs and energizes the pubic
area.

Together, the two phases of the Female Deer Exercise spread sexual pleasure and energy
throughout the body, increasing the potential for clitoral, vaginal, and whole-body orgasm. It is
also excellent for bettering overall health and vitality.

When personal Tantra instruction is either inconvenient or too expensive, Al Link and Pala
Copeland's Sexual Mastery Course and Kerry and Diane Riley's Ultimate Home Tantra Course
are two excellent self-teaching courses. I highly recommend either of these courses for those
who can't find a local Tantra teacher, attend a Tantra workshop, or just want to explore Tantra in
the privacy of their own home.
