Leonard, Yes, there is the opposing Tantric view which is that by properly engaging in sex with a woman the chi of both can be strengthened. I can vouch that this does work!

Edgar Owen I used to vote Libertarian, I have voted Libertarian, but I have noticed that for President, they seem to scramble to get anyone that can give them attention regardless of how much of a loser the guy is. Their previous choices for President are no less bizarre than Bob Barr. Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading! Talk about it today!Yahoo!
