The Yin-Yang butterfly : ancient Chinese sexual secrets for Western lovers

Steeped in 5000 years of Chinese lore, this book tells the tales of Chinese emperors and courtesans, their erotic sexual customs and little-known ways of lovemaking, which have been erased from the memory of modern China and are virtually unknown to the West. It explores the links made by Chinese Taoists among sex, health and longevity and the battle for the elixir of life. And it ties the result of ancient Taoist practices to contemporary research findings in sexology.
