Sex and Longevity

 

The Taoist had extensive literature on sex. There was a saying “the king has 1000 concubines and he can cultivate to be an immortal. THe common man has one Wife and he dies an early death”. This shows the Taoist believe that a man can use the sex of women to rejuvenate himself.

In some literature it is said that an old man if he knows how to cultivate can have sex with young girls to rejuvenate himself. Like an old plant you cut it and graft it onto a young plant and lo and behold the old plant becomes young again.

There was in China a man by the name of Li Qin Yun born in 1678 AD he was a herbalist and skilled in Chi Kung.   imageHe lived  to be 250 years old. In his last days he was very famous appearing even in the New York Times. Then maybe he really died or to get out of the limelight he faked his own death no one knows. At the peak of his fame he just “died”. Some say he went deep into the forest with a handful of his disciples to cultivate and to avoid distraction.

He had 14 wives but because he lived to be so old all his wives died before him. True! Cultivators who cannot attain this feat would be jealous and sneer and say that he lived to be so old and robust because he was unethical and he “vampired ” the energies of his 14 wives causing their deaths. This is very easy to do especially if your partner is totally ignorant of such practices.

I don’t really think so. Li Qin Yun apparently spent a lot of time deep in the forest with his Tao masters and in his later years with his disciples cultivating. I have heard of people living in the forest and live to be centuries old. For example in Thailand many monks go live in mountains by themselves and it is not un common for them to be 200 or even 500 years old. They are called “Ruesi ” or just mountain monks. A “Ruesi” unlike an ordinary monk is allowed to have sex. One of my Teachers a Thai monk, his own teacher a Ruesi lives in northern Thailand living in the mountain and who is 250 and is still alive. If you live deep in the forest you kind of transform your energy into that of a plant , a tree to be precise and it is not unheard of for trees to be 1000 years old. By then you will be taking energy from the planet earth and the celestial stars.
