In “The Arcane Maiden Classic,” an ancient Taoist text, he describes several secret sexual positions guaranteed to enhance sexual health and pleasure.

9 Taoist sexual positions

1. Somersaulting Dragons: The woman lies on her back, while the man lies on her. She then presses her thighs against her bed squeezing her vulva, while the man penetrates her. With calculated movements (eight superficial and two deep), the man penetrates her while she continues to squeeze her penis.

2. Stepping Tigers: The woman gets into a crawling position, pointing her buttocks up while her head rests on a pillow or flat surface. As her lover enters her from behind her, they take turns thrusting (eight thrusts, five times), pausing briefly after each series.

3. Fighting Monkeys: While the woman lies on her back with her knees drawn up toward her head, the man supports her thighs, pulling them against his chest, while lifting her buttocks. As he penetrates her deeply, she is able to rock and rotate her thighs and hips, stopping when she climaxes from her.

4. Split cicadas: The woman lies on her stomach while her partner lies on her back, penetrating her deeply. He can lift her buttocks slightly by placing a pillow under her and pushing her (9 pushes, 6 times), until she reaches orgasm.

5. Flying Phoenix: The woman lies down and raises her legs while the man stands between her thighs, holding on to the bed. This sexual position allows deep penetration.

6. Bunny licking his fur: The man lies on his back on the bed while the woman straddles his body, facing his legs. She lowers her head, as she holds onto her feet. This is a shallow penetration position.

7. Cranes That Intertwine Necks: The man squats while the woman sits on his thighs, grasping his neck and wrapping her legs around his hips. Both partners can move into this position.

8. Scales to attach fish: In this position, the man lies on his back with the woman straddling his body on top. He doesn’t penetrate her deeply, but instead focuses on teasing her breasts with his hands and her mouth.

9. Riding turtles: While the woman lies on her back with her knees bent, the man presses them against her breasts. This position allows the man to alternate between deep and shallow thrusts. It is said that if there is no loss of semen during sexual intercourse, in this position, a man’s vigor will be multiplied by one hundred.

According to Taoist philosophy, there can be no joy in yin without yang. Often a man will want sex while the woman is unhappy, or the woman wants to have sex when the man lacks desire. In other words, when the hearts are out of tune, there is no awakening of the essences. By merging mind and desire, both a man and a woman can delight in each other’s hearts.
