A wonderful history of sexual hedonism

"Pleasure is a man's lifelong companion... Human sexuality has a thousand different colors, some regarded as an unknowable natural force, a purely animalistic feeling; others, on the contrary, recommended as an ineffable mystery of life, the pinnacle of creative expression..." Yes, I think Edward Fuchs's words in "The History of European Morality" couldn't be clearer. Whether it's animalistic feeling, the pinnacle of creativity, or even sexual indulgence, they all point to one point: sexual pleasure is closely related to our lives.
—Let's first get to know the originators of the art of the bedroom.
As early as the time of the Yellow Emperor, the legendary Xuan Nu and Su Nu were authorities on the art of the bedroom, authoring the ancient secret books of the bedroom, *Su Nu Jing* and *Xuan Nu Jing*. These books record that when someone asked Peng Zu about the method of prolonging life, Peng Zu replied, "Loving one's essence and nourishing one's spirit, consuming various medicines, can lead to longevity. However, without knowing the way of intercourse, even taking medicine is useless… If one can avoid things that gradually harm one and master the art of yin and yang, then it is the way to immortality… It makes one's body light and eliminates all diseases." Later generations often referred to the art of the bedroom as the "Way of Xuan and Su." The "art of yin and yang" here naturally refers to sexual intercourse between men and women. Even Peng Zu acknowledged that wonderful sex can prolong life and can be considered the highest level of human enjoyment. —Next,
let's learn how to create a wonderful setting .
Throughout history, the focus on and creation of sexual pleasure seems to have never ceased. I've discovered that in ancient China, the concept of sexual intercourse between men and women was referred to as "between the pillow and mat," "matters of the bed," or simply "bedroom affairs." All aspects of life related to sex were also called "the art of the bedroom." From this, one can imagine that every beautiful and intimate moment was inextricably linked to the layout and environment of the room.
However, today, housing prices in big cities are generally exorbitantly high, meaning that the only thing in our rooms that is truly connected to marital bliss is a bed. Compared to the leisurely and open "pleasures of the bedroom" of the ancients, the hasty phrase "getting into bed" is truly embarrassing for modern people. Besides the bed, the furnishings in ancient rooms included "beauty chairs" and "spring benches" specifically designed for intimate moments. These were exquisitely crafted, pleasing to the eye, and functionally designed according to the curves of human movement and posture, ingeniously and humanely inspiring endless desire. In a series of bold and vivid erotic paintings, we can see an interesting scene: parents making love on a rocking "spring bench" while the baby plays and frolics on the side...
Not only was ancient China good at enjoying pleasure, but ancient India, which is also one of the four ancient civilizations, also studied the art of the bedroom to its fullest extent. As early as 2000 years ago in ancient India, sages summarized the Kama Sutra, which has special significance for world sexual culture. It contains strict and advanced requirements for the environment and furnishings for sexual intercourse: first, the house should be built beside a river; there should be a beautiful "rennana" (a woman's private room) for the mistress to prepare for grooming; the master bedroom should be well-ventilated, and perfume should be applied before enjoyment; a soft couch covered with a silk canopy should be placed "for making love," with freshly picked flowers scattered on the sheets; a table should be placed at the head of the couch, with beeswax candles, flower garlands, and "panen" (crushed nuts and spices wrapped in areca leaves) to fill the room with fragrance…
What a wonderful scene! Just thinking about it is enough to make one's heart itch; it's not only incredible but also breathtaking.
—Finally, let's challenge boundless creativity .
While we are still marveling at the excellent conditions the ancients had, let's take a look at those uniquely creative, vibrant, and daring sex toys. As early as 2000 years ago, the earliest sex tools appeared in ancient China. The inventor was Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan during the Han Dynasty (a direct descendant of Liu Bei). This nobleman, with numerous wives and concubines, invented several bronze sex toys of different diameters and lengths when he was overwhelmed with dealing with them. These bronze sex toys were hollow and could be filled with warm water, and were highly realistic. There was also a protruding "bump" at the end, used to stimulate the woman's sensitive areas and promote a shared orgasm. This reminds me of the movie "Sex and the City," which modern women love to talk about. The four promiscuous Manhattan women, with their wild and open sex lives, used various sex toys in pursuit of endless pleasure. If Liu Sheng, the ancestor dressed in a jade burial suit, were to climb out of his coffin and see this, he might sue him for plagiarism.
These sex toys, which served as totems during the period of sex worship, gradually became practical and diversified. The openness and imagination of the ancients in their pursuit of pleasure are astonishing. Among all the aids to pleasure, one must mention the "double pleasure swing." The Kama Sutra, an Indian text, provides evidence of this. As early as the mid-16th century, Indian couples built love seats in their gardens, "shaded by jasmine vines," with a swing suspended beneath the branches. Amidst the fragrance of flowers and the shade of fruit trees, servants would pull the ropes, allowing them to enjoy the rhythmic swaying of the swing and experience exquisite sexual pleasure. The combination of enjoyment and playfulness was seamless!
From the ingenuity of the "beauty chair" to the swaying of the swing, the ancients' awareness of sexual pleasure was far stronger and more open than that of modern people. Indians at that time matured earlier, and historically, sexuality had always been relatively open. Therefore, the Kama Sutra encouraged girls about to be married to learn sexual techniques so that they could enjoy the wonderful sexual love bestowed by the god of love with their husbands. In this land that created the world's first "love swing," people believed that sex was not an appendage to life, but a very important part of traditional life.
In fact, whether it's a "beauty chair" or a swing, all these tools designed for pleasure aim to create a harmonious and wonderful environment for enjoyment, reaching the highest realm of perfect harmony. The profound wisdom of the ancients makes us realize that pleasure can be manipulated or created. Those various erotic paintings and ukiyo-e prints, along with the invention of all sorts of bizarre and wonderful techniques and positions for controlling one's partner, allow us to witness a wealth of exquisite sexual art and culture.
In sexual pleasure, nothing is impossible; achieving orgasm with a swing is just a minor interlude. Furthermore, nothing is truly impossible in sexual pleasure, so it's understandable that modern people go to great lengths to create a blissful, otherworldly environment. When increasingly fierce social competition leaves us exhausted, we might as well find a way to enjoy sex that best suits us from the valuable experience and practices of our predecessors, and enjoy it openly and calmly. Some bold sexual fantasy ideas, combined with unexpected venue surprises and highly provocative lingerie, can immediately allow people to naturally blend with the environment, completely relax their mind and soul, and then their bodies can fully engage and match. As men and women embrace, entwine, caress, and until they naturally merge into one seamlessly, "the heart of the flower stirs, the stamen opens, the soul-stirring beauty dissipates, and the spring water gushes forth..." At that moment, why would we need the stimulation of Viagra and porn?
