/Sexual Feng Shui

Feng shui, the art of aligning the energetic forces of both heaven and earth, has its earliest origins in Neolithic China (about 9500 BCE). By arranging layout and design in ways most harmonious with natural energy flows, the occupants of buildings were destined for greater health, prosperity and familial happiness. All capital cities in China since the Bronze Age have been built according to the principles of feng shui.

In creating a bedroom environment most conducive to harmonious and fantastic fucking, we’ll apply some principles from the art of feng shui.

A primary concept in modern feng shui is to create spaces that maximize energy flow. We do this by getting rid of old baggage (metaphorically and literally) that hangs around, creating obstructions. We clear space.

Bedrooms are for sleeping. And fucking.

Anything that distracts from these two purposes ought to be removed. Like televisions. Televisions have no place in a bedroom. If you want to watch a movie before going to bed, have a comfy couch, blankets and each other to snuggle into. In the living room. Once you’ve finished, go to bed. Plus, televisions, like computers, emit large amounts of EMR (electro-magnetic radiation) which disrupt sleep and energy movement in the body. You’ll sleep far better and wake up more refreshed without your gadgetry in bed with you.

There are so many distractions to relaxation and love, that having a bedroom that is dedicated to only these two things is a commitment to their importance in your life. When you are in bed together, and there’s nothing else to do, you’re more likely to fuck.

Once you’ve removed anything not pertinent to sleeping and fucking you’ll want to add things that enhance sleeping and fucking. Like:

Soft lighting. Set the mood with low lights and candles.

Warm colors. Soothing, relaxing, mellow. No neon.

Romantic paintings or photographs. Modigliani painted some of the most evocative nudes I’ve ever seen. They’re both tasteful and exquisitely sensual.

Lush fabrics. High quality sheets. Comfy duvet. If you haven’t experienced a high thread count in your bed and quality sheets, try it. I never thought it would make that much of a difference, but it does. Now I sink into bed and I sleep almost instantly.

Uncluttered. Keep your books in the closet or in the living room. A book or two on the nightstand is different than a mini-library against one wall.

Plants and fresh flowers. In traditional feng shui healthy plants and fresh cut flowers circulate energy. It’s important that they not wilt or they actually create stagnant energy.

Healthy mattress. There are a host of mattresses available these days made from natural materials like rubber, horsehair and wool.  Old-style spring mattresses typically contain formaldehyde, which off-gasses while
