by Jolan Chang

Book Overview

Thank you, Jolan Chang!

If you follow the instructions in this book, you will never need anymore "sexpert's" advice, nor will you ever even consider taking "Viagra". Jolan Chang, a chinese living in Stockholm, Sweden, gives a profound introduction into the ancient chinese philosophy of taoism and from this philosophy he derives a new way of looking at both love, making love and having sex. He teaches, that the western way of "chasing" orgasm is unhealthy and contradicts the laws of nature, since "exaggerated" ejaculation can have some negative impact on males' well-being and health. According to Chang, "coerced" ejaculation is the most wide-spread cause of impotence. He says, that, instead of trying to reach an orgasm by any means, you should rather try to enjoy hour-lasting extasy with your partner,when you are sexually united with him or her, and that this will have an incredible positive effect on both your physical an mental health, and you will feel much better than after any orgasm. Furthermore this way of making love would reconcile man woman and end the "gender-war", since through taoism the woman will finally get the amount of love, care and physical satisfaction she needs, and the man is no longer forced to "prove" he is a "real man", since his fear of "failing" is taken away from him. Also no woman will any longer regard herself as "frigid", when she realizes that sexual satisfaction does not necessarily go along with an orgasm. It is to be well-noticed, that these ideas were developed in ancient China 500 B.C. ! Just follow the instructions of this book and enjoy!

The Real "Why" of Sexual Dissatisfaction and Disinterest

After having been married for 20 years and a few boyfriends since then, I refuse to begin a relationship with a man unless he practices the Tao of love and sex. So many relationships could be saved if a man knows to control his emissions and experience increased stamina and pleasure. If you did not think that sex could keep a relationship going (as it was intended) then you are not practicing it the Tao way. This would cure most of society's problems with promiscuity, casual sex, one-night stands, affairs and divorces.

Practical Wisdom

Although the text is oriented toward a man learning to relax and control his own body and to enjoy more intimately the act of making love to a woman, it is highly recommended for women to read as well. This book will explain the kind of patience and help a woman can provide for her "quick" or inexperienced lover. Readers beware: There's no mojo in this method! Dr. Chang eloquently reveals hard-boiled techniques that are tried and true. There's no guarantee necessary here. With Dr. Chang, good loving is a fact!

Great Read, Very Useful

It usually takes me close to 1 week to read a book. This took me one day. I enjoyed this book and found it practical. By reserving the big "O" I certainly feel different the following day(s) and our encounters are more frequent. Thank you Mr. Chang

ESSENTIAL

This is a must read book for anyone involved in a relationship with a women they care about deeply.... It has provided me with a much healthier attitude (both physically & mentally) towards sex, and I need only to assert that it is a wonderful book to share with your partner. Furthermore, I feel truly blessed that I have discovered this knowledge at an early age.
