There are several variations of the Taoist Deer Exercise for men, and they can be done sitting, standing, or lying down.

The following version consists of two parts: the Pelvic Massage and the Pelvic Contraction. This variation is done sitting (in a comfortable, warm environment), with crossed legs on the floor or sitting on the edge of a chair, while the genitals are hanging free.

As mentioned in the beginning of this post, it’s preferably done with a (morning) erection and empty bladder. Thus, go pee first after waking up and try to keep or get an erection. If, during the exercise, the penis becomes flaccid, just stimulate “the goods” to get an erection again.

Deer Exercise: Pelvic Massage

The goal of the Pelvic Massage is to create heat, and stimulate the blood circulation and sexual energy in the abdominal and genital areas.

It’s carried out by cupping the testicles with one hand, while the other hand is placed on the abdomen (under the navel, but above the pubis/pelvic bone), subsequently gently palm-circling-massaging the abdominal area 81 times. Afterwards the hands are switched. One repeats the massage, but then hand-palm-circling in the other direction, that is, clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on the direction of the first sequence.

The Pelvic Contraction is actually a kind of Kegel exercise to “massage” the prostate in sitting position. It also involves some additions of Taoist techniques, such as pressing the tongue against the roof of the mouth, making fists while encircling the thumbs with the other fingers to activate acupressure points, and doing the contractions (anal muscle contraction and pelvic floor contraction) while holding the breath.
