The Comradeship of Shared Masculinity
From taoist doctor of the seventh century, Li Tung-Hsuan Tzu. He poetically described nine styles of penetration, by varying the direction, the speed and the depth of the thrusts
·Strike on right and on the left like a honest warrior boring the enemy rows.
·You raise and plunge suddenly like a wild horse cutting through a path through a torrent of mountain.
·And you like a cloud of gulls withdraw return playing above the waves.
·Carry out major penetrations and small surface blows taquins and, a such picorant sparrow of the rice grains.
·Penetrate superficially then more deeply, towards the right-hand side and the left, as would fall a large stone being inserted in the sea.
·Return slowly in the manner of a snake in its nest.
·Charge quickly, a such frightened rat regaining its hole·
-Fly over and strike as an eagle follows a hare in escape.
·Go up and plunge deeply, like a magnificant boat on the floods facing a wild wind.
It's strange that something that was written nearly 1,400 years ago is still "fucking relevant".
