The Tao of Health, Sex and Life in Pattaya Part II
Nowhere on the face of the planet could a more
complete field study be done on the effect and significance of sexual
relations between men and women than in Pattaya. The subject is a touchy
one for a main-stream publication such as the Pattaya Traveller
but I will try to proceed with care using Chinese literature and the
philosophy of Tao as a perfect excuse for any literary blunders or
unintentional gender insult.
Referring to the subject of last month’s issue,
that of chee or life force or essence, we find that those, who
through abstinence or controlled sexual release or in some cases
marriage (I have one friend who states that in 15 yrs. of marriage he
averages about 1 sexual experience a month) tend to be more balanced
physically, mentally, emotionally than their sexually active
counterparts. But wait….! There’s good news! This doesn’t mean that we
need to necessarily be abstinent or refrain from sexual activity. It may
however allow us to experience more of it and in a good way if we
understand what is healthy for all concerned. Here in pattaya of course
there are plenty of other concerns regarding sex and it’s never wise to
think the taboo subject of disease because of it seldom being discussed
doesn’t exist. STD’s run rampant in Pattaya and it’s not just the usual
strains of gonorrhea and Syph but also those nasty little urinary tract
infections that go sometimes unnoticed that can create problems down the
road either with your intimate friends back in England or your prostate
in later years. Fact is, it’s a perfectly normal thing for a man to
think directly or indirectly about sex every 4 -5 minutes a day (unless
you are watching a World Cup).
An anonymous Chinese poet once wrote: We enter this
world through the portals of the Jade Gate, and once born we seek
forever to return. This eternal truth holds a message: That a man’s joy
and vigor come from the same place as his creation.
The Chinese believe that Yin (female) is
more superior to Yang (male) sexually. Simply put, this is due in
part to the fact that a woman retains her sexual secretions during
intercourse whereas an untrained man does not. One fact that
substantiates this superiority is that out of the millions of sperms
cells seeking to fertilize just one egg in wait only one of the fittest
of cells succeeds. Of course, another more obvious substantiation comes
from those lifeless faces of the punters coming here on holiday who
cannot get enough of a good thing and spend all of their energy doing
gorging themselves at the buffet table. The same is true incidentally of
those who practice sexual release without the aid of a partner. The
following Chinese passage sums up the importance of retaining sexual
energy: One cannot manage the myriad matters of Heaven and Earth unless
one stores up energy. Storing energy means absorbing essence. Absorbing
essence doubles ones power. In doubling ones power one acquires a
strength that nothing can overcome.
Tao The Ching
But…where do we find the balance you might ask? I
didn’t come to Pattaya to become a monk. This for me has always been the
1 million Baht question. I’ve looked at the options: Abstinence, Control
and Marriage and the only one that seems to make sense for me is Sexual
Control. From a pragmatic standpoint, if let’s say in the case of money
being exchanged for service and if we also say that Chinese Philosophy
is correct and many believe it is, then I would rather like to be coming
away from an experience feeling empowered and energetic not drained. It
seems that most times guys are hooked into a self-belief that release is
the goal. What if it was the other way around? That is, if the sexual
experience allowed you to retain your secretions completely satisfying
your partner and you walked away feeling energetic rather than drained
and listless. Hmm…
Again to quote a paragraph from the previously
mentioned book: Throughout our adult lives, our sexual organs and
hormones exert a profound and decisive influence on thought and
behavior. They literally “drive” men and women into each other’s arms in
order to insure the propagation of the species and this drive is so
powerful that it completely overrides the instinct for safety and
personal survival. (Take the guy who falls for the married woman).
There are stories in China about Taoist recluses
who come down from their mountain once or twice a year, a bit like the
guys who come to Pattaya on holiday from their frigid climate (read –
seldom have sex) to take their earnings to the nearest brothel and hire
out the entire household of women for the night. One by one they would
work their way from girl to girl continuing tirelessly all night until
they had drawn an orgasm or two from each and every one without ever
spilling a drop of semen themselves. Some of these men I understand
lived to be healthy and aged gracefully with vigor well past the century
mark.
Single man’s motto:
Support a Local Country Girl and Her Family and
Give Her an Experience She’ll Never Forget.
Chances are you’ll live longer and will project a
youthful smile.
Make sure you tell her Pattaya Pete sent you
