DAY 167: SEX ED SATURDAY
Japanese Sex #1: Silk and Sake

The ancient Japanese were very passionate about seizing their sexual pleasure. Like other Eastern practitioners of the erotic arts, they believed that great sex was a high value that required good sexual technique, combined with imagination and something you might not expect, a sense of humor. Indulge in a night of silk and sake—your introduction to sex in the ancient Japanese way.

The Preparations

Wear flowing and luxurious garments meant to be kept on during sex play.

Buy a calligraphy pen from an art store, aromatic oils, a single orchid spray, and sake, potent Japanese wine, and serve it warm.

Each partner researches ancient Japanese sexuality and comes prepared with either five facts or an erotic poem or story.

Focus on Foreplay

Take the calligraphy pen (or a firm feather), dip it in oil, and lightly touch some of your partner’s pleasure points, including nipples, breasts, groin, the midpoint of the perineum, and the Cinnabar Field, seven points from the navel to the pubic symphysis, at the front of the pubic bone above the genitals. Imagine a line connecting the navel and the pubic symphysis, with five additional points spaced more or less equidistant from the others. Using hot, feathery kisses, begin at your lover’s mouth, trail down her (his) neck, and kiss the pleasure points.
