Taoist sexual practices

Taoist sexual practices involve using your energy in a special way while you are being intimate with someone else.

Imagine that your body has a special kind of energy called "chi" that you can use to make yourself feel really good. It's kind of like a happy feeling that you can spread all over your body.

When you practice Taoist sexual practices, you use this energy to make the happy feeling even stronger. You do this by trying to control your breath and focus your thoughts on the good feeling that you're having.

It's kind of like trying to make the feeling that you get when you hug your favorite stuffed animal last for a really long time.

Some people who practice Taoist sexual practices also believe that it can help them feel more connected to their partner, and help both people feel happier and healthier.

But it's important to remember that knowing about this kind of practice is something that grown-ups do, and it's not something you should try until you are much, much older.
