It describes a harmonious couple—a couple in harmony with themselves, each other, and the world. It is a harmony that the ancient Chinese sages referred to as yin and yang, a harmony that consists of being (as the ancients called it) “deeply rooted and firmly stemmed.”
Let me close with a few disclaimers. This book is not just for young or beautiful people, but for couples of all ages and physical types. Sexual passion can be had by anyone who wants it. Age can diminish the sexual drive but does not eliminate it; only organic or psychological barriers can do that. Physical appearance can be used as an excuse to avoid sexuality, but behind every physical molehill is a mountain of anger, jealousy, or fear. And, although this book is addressed to heterosexual married couples, it can also be used by homosexual or unmarried couples who have a long-term, committed relationship.
