Witnessing a woman's delicate reactions—who wouldn't see this as the moment to fulfill a man's deepest ambitions?To boost your sexual performance, follow these steps: regularly massage these five key acupoints.
Acupoint 1: Stimulate the Zhūbīn Point. Located approximately 2 cun (about 5 cm) above and behind the Sān Yīn Jiāo point on the inner calf, this point belongs to the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. Massaging it can enhance libido.
Acupoint 2: Stimulate the Yǒngquán Point. Situated at the center of the sole, this point also belongs to the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.Stimulate this point nightly before bed by washing feet with warm water, pressing with fingers, or rolling a small wooden stick under bare feet. This supports sexual function.
Point 3: Stimulate Shangyang. Located on the radial side of the index fingernail at the fingertip.Traditional medicine holds that stimulating this point significantly enhances vitality and strengthens yang energy, delaying sexual aging. You can hook your index finger around a bus or tram handrail during commutes; repeatedly pull your index fingers together during leisure time; or massage the finger using an umbrella handle.
Point 4: Stimulate Guanyuan.Guanyuan is located 3 cun below the navel, belonging to the Conception Vessel (Ren Mai) that runs along the midline from head to chest and abdomen. The Conception Vessel is a meridian closely related to the reproductive system in both men and women, hosting numerous points with potent effects for strengthening vitality and enhancing virility. Apply acupressure to stimulate Guanyuan, or alternately use both hands to massage the abdomen in circular motions around the navel, stimulating relevant points along the Conception Vessel.
Acupoint 5: Stimulate the Sanyinjiao point. As its name suggests, Sanyinjiao is the convergence point of the Liver, Spleen, and Kidney meridians—all yin meridians. Belonging to the Spleen meridian, it is located on the medial aspect of the tibia, approximately 10 cm above the medial malleolus.Acupuncture at this point primarily treats nocturnal emissions, erectile dysfunction, penile pain, urinary difficulty, and testicular retraction into the abdomen. It is one of the most commonly used acupoints for treating male sexual dysfunction. Therefore, regularly massaging this point with your fingers can enhance male sexual function.
Sexual Enhancement Exercises for Men
1. The man sits on the edge of the bed while the woman assists him in rotating his head and neck for five minutes.
In modern society, intense work environments and prolonged desk work often leave men fatigued, reducing blood supply to the brain. This method promotes blood flow from the vertebral arteries, relaxes neck muscles and the brain, and moderately stimulates the spinal cord through movement to activate neural function.
2. The man sits on the edge of the bed while the woman assists him in rotating his upper body back and forth, pulling both shoulders backward as far as possible.
Alternating twists relax the lumbar muscles and promote qi and blood circulation. With the partner's assistance, pulling the shoulders backward as far as possible helps release tension in the shoulders and neck, which often remain forward-tilted.
3. The man lies prone on the bed while the woman applies acupressure to the occipital fossae on both sides of the back of his head.
The occipital fossae at the back of the head are where the Hand Shaoyang and Yangwei meridians intersect at the Fengchi points. Massaging Fengchi unblocks meridians, clears the head, and sharpens vision, greatly aiding in relieving mental stress.
4. The female partner uses acupressure to massage the male partner's sacrococcygeal region. While applying pressure, the male partner lifts both feet upward.
This method effectively stimulates the erectile reflex system. From a modern medical perspective, numerous vital acupoints are concentrated in the sacrococcygeal region. The female partner's acupressure massage can positively influence male sexual reflex nerves.
Additionally, lifting the legs upward provides excellent exercise for the lumbar and back muscles, helping prevent post-coital soreness in the lower back and knees.
5. The man lies supine on the bed with soles of feet together, knees bent and legs spread outward. With the woman's assistance, he brings both knees as close to the bed surface as possible.
Regular practice effectively stimulates the central nervous system responsible for erection. This coordinated physical activity between partners also alleviates psychological tension, proving highly effective in treating psychogenic ED.
Beyond sexual enhancement exercises, couples can also perform 200 anal contractions daily. This strengthens the perineal muscles, offering a simple yet effective method to boost sexual performance.
Enhancing Male Sexual Performance with Medicinal Baths
Medicinal bath therapy has a long and distinguished history.As early as over 3,000 years ago during the Shang-Yin period, medicinal bathing was prevalent in the imperial court for disease prevention and treatment. Records indicate that fragrant baths became popular starting from the Zhou Dynasty. These "fragrant baths" used decoctions of the Chinese herb Pei Lan. Their rich, aromatic scent offered benefits like relieving summer heat, dispelling dampness, and refreshing the mind. The great patriotic poet Qu Yuan wrote in "The Lord of the Clouds":Bathing in orchid-infused water, I wash away the world's dust." His disciple Song Yu similarly wrote in "Ode to the Divine Maiden": "Bathed in orchid's grace, I hold its fragrance close." From the Qing Dynasty onward, medicinal bathing gained recognition among successive generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners as an effective method for disease prevention and treatment. With the advancement of traditional Chinese medicine, the variety of medicinal bath therapies expanded, and their applications broadened.By the Qing Dynasty, its therapeutic scope encompassed internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, otolaryngology, dermatology, and other specialties. Methods included washing, bathing, soaking, steeping, and pouring.
For many, bathing serves merely as hygiene. For others, it represents a traditional sexual wellness practice with purported benefits for enhancing sexual prowess.
References to medicinal baths enhancing sexual function first appeared in ancient texts such as the Fifty-Two Prescriptions from Mawangdui, The Classic of the Pure Maiden, and Sun Simiao's Treatise on Sexual Rejuvenation. In recent years, numerous classical Chinese medical sources increasingly suggest that medicinal baths may effectively address male erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and female sexual frigidity.
This therapeutic effect of medicinal baths is primarily grounded in traditional medical theory—which emphasizes "warming what is cold, contracting what is dispersed, unblocking what is obstructed, astringing what is loose, and strengthening what is weak." It employs herbs with properties such as pungent dispersing, sweet soothing, bitter strengthening, salty softening, and sour astringing.The immersive nature of the bath fully harnesses these properties to regulate sexual function. This approach is particularly natural and effective for alleviating psychological stress in patients with psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation.
