Tao Sex Positions Print E-mail

These are sex positions found in the ancient Taoist texts regarding sex.  The Tao is a collection of ancient wisdom rather than a single book.  The collection was written over the course of many centuries, and some of the texts even predate the Kama Sutra.  One of the central tenets of the Tao is that sexual energy can be used to improve health, harmonize relationships, and increase spiritual realization.

Like many other ancient texts on sexuality, the names given to the sexual positions reflect a colorful playfulness attached to the subject of sex to begin with.

These are some of the better known sex positions from the Taos.

catandmice










Cat and Mouse Sharing A Hole

This position is very similar to the standard missionary position (though it wasn't called that in the Taoist writings).

 

cicadabough












Cicada on A Bough

This position provide little, if any stimulation to the female - though it is an excellent position for anal intercourse.  An excellent idea is to place a vibrator underneath her in this position - it will stimulate her clitoris directly while he's fucking her from behind

 

mandarin










The Mandarin Ducks

This is basically very similar to the standard spooning position.

 

dragon










The Dragon Turns

This is an excellent position for deep penetration, and works very well for guys with shorter penises.  If you have a long penis, make sure the female is fully aroused before you thrust all the way in.  The female can masturbate herself in this position, since no direct clitoral stimulation will occur.

 

whitetiger










The White Tiger

The key to this position is that the female is resting on her elbows.  This is like the doggy position, but with her leaning further down, the stimulation is usually more intense.  The female normally has to masturbate herself since little if any direct stimulation to the clitoris takes place in this position.

 

seagulls










Seagulls on the Wing

This is an excellent position for him to get to watch the female masturbate herself, since he has a clear view of her pubic area.

 

goatandtree















The Goat and the Tree

This is a very good casual sex position - it can be done in just about any place - in front of the TV, for example.

 

silkworm










Silkworm Spinning a Cocoon

This is not too much unlike the standard missionary position as well.  The difference is that she has her legs wrapped around him and uses them to help him thrust and hold it according to her desires.

 

butterflies










Butterflies in Flight

This is perhaps the most famous Taoist sexual position, and is evocative of butterflies flying as the two have sex.

Hey!Tahnks for this site. Do you think it would be possible to provide somewhat more detailed text descriptions of the positions mentioned in this article? My problem is that I am blind; and I can't see the pictures. The descriptions you had in the "Basic Positions" article seemed pretty good for example. thank you very much!
