TUNG

TUNG – The Ultimate Nut Guarantee is a book that is difficult to define. Maybe define is not the right word, but tie down certainly. At once an account of sexual exploits, a philosophical treatise on the nature of men and women and a training program for the (male) sexual athlete. It is the last of these things that TUNG is billed as – a book that teaches how to reach our sexual peak pleasure. You can get it here: http://stores.lulu.com/tung

The material in TUNG presents the advice and story of a man who can be described as both a ‘self trained’ sexual athlete and a ‘school of life’ philosopher. TUNG is not particularly a book for the seduction community alumni, some of the writing goes against the grain of the seduction student. It is a book on sexual practices, and on the sexual dynamics we engage in and there are rewards for its readers.

The author, who remains unidentified under the name Anonymous X, begins with a brief preface on how TUNG came to be and a disclaimer regarding its practice, for this is a physically demanding program. Getting into the main content of the book I was impressed by the writing. The interludes of true accounts alongside the author’s philosophy and technique works well. The book builds nicely. Beginning with exercise, the book sets out its stall – After the introduction to the TUNG philosophy, there is a short but crucial chapter on ‘Getting in TUNG shape’. It wouldn’t be much of a review if I hadn’t done the exercise, which is an intense but not gruelling routine and when you apply the newly toned and trained physique to the techniques that come later, you’ll be glad of the training and most certainly will benefit the sex you are having.

The book continues with a chapter called ‘Creating tension’. This is the story of why to do TUNG, why sex applied the TUNG way is so paramount. The message is raw here, but welcome – it is a whole body process, it is pleasure driven and as a warrior you should strive for ultimate satisfaction. This means working for it, as Anonymous point out “you must endure this strenuous physical regimen because there are a core group of muscles that must be developed to produce the high octane nuts you are seeking.” Moving onto the chapter on ‘Staying Safe’, there is some very sensible advice in this chapter, we’d do well to heed. STDs; paternity; her friends; boyfriends/husbands and other issues are covered, and we are given much advice on what to do to ‘stay safe’.

The later chapters of the book cover sexual positions. The standard ‘lover’s guide’ positions are covered: missionary; doggy; cowgirl; standing; but with the TUNG take on getting ultimate satisfaction from the ‘standard moves’. Then moving onto a chapter on the bizarre. Opening with the qualifier that in today’s wonderful world of sexual excess, “what is kinky or bizarre?”. It is true that you don’t need the 150th Kama sutra position to get you and your partner off. And I salute the TUNG method for bringing us back to earth by upping the ante in sexual satisfaction from good fucking sex. And you are left in no doubt, if there was any up to this point, that the TUNG system is athletically challenging.

Now, returning to the start of the book to cover some ground. The book opens, even before we begin our training regime, with Mr Anonymous X’s perspectives on sex and dating in the modern world. He berates the standard misogyny out there and yet still conforms to broad stereotypes. In a single paragraph the author can hit the nail on the head and appeal to the sense of missing masculinity in sex and sexual dynamics between men and women. He can explain the demeanor of the “pussy whipped boyfriend” and and the ‘he’s so nice’ guy. And call it an affront, an abomination! And, by and large, he’s right. Yet in the very same discussion the stereotypes he mentions are too black and white to be entirely true, the pop psychology of the analysis too blunt to be accurate. But primarily TUNG is a book for men on sex that unashamedly brandishes the message “We are not lovers. WE FUCK!” and in this regard is a breath of fresh air. “Sex is to TUNG as a AAA battery is to a Tesla coil. We strive for intensity and duration. We take pride in our work and we fuck for the sheer pleasure of it” Anonymous X

Remembering, now, that this is a review for guys who are learning and practicing seduction. I can level with an audience that has altogether more understanding in areas of social dynamics, sex and seduction. So, for us only… In the seduction community we will often critique the insights of the uninitiated – those poor guys who approach the dating game with nothing other than the tools of reciprocity (“what do you mean you won’t sleep with me, I bought dinner”). While this book is only about what to do when you get a woman into bed, not how to get her there, the social philosophy surrounding it is grounded in an awareness of the real world that us who study seduction are only too aware of. But it is not the world that we inhabit, it is the world that everyone else does. If you have been through education in seduction then you’ll have the flexibility to come and go with the philosophy of this book, while strongly adding to your sexual self (and technique to your repertoire).

As I said in the opening paragraph, TUNG is about us men achieving our sexual gratification. Her pleasure is of less concern, and in this regard it is a tonic to every other piece of literature on the subject that teaches ‘please her’ = better sex. But, not too far into TUNG we converge with the classic approach – Practicing TUNG = giving yourself pleasure = giving her pleasure. So we are not at odds with the classic teachings of social dynamics and seduction. Reminds me of the underlying interpretations of the ‘nice guy’ and how they are essentially selfish behaviors. By freeing ourselves to demand sexual satisfaction both men and women benefit. If you have ever had a lover take wonderful pleasure in your own satisfaction and sexual climax, just as you do in hers, and you encourage her to explore her own, then the TUNG method is your personal training guide, only reversed (it’s far more about you).

In Practice

Well, I used all the techniques when working on TUNG. I struggled with some, I really enjoyed some. I varied yet others and have brought some into a repertoire that is wholly enhanced by the practices of this book. For example the doggy/massage hybrid is a funky style much loved by me and my girlfriend. There is an honest and raw sexual urgency to the teachings in this book, and that is what will remain with me. It is lacking in many of the books you can buy on sex, a book like this could create some pretty dirty bastards though, no bad thing. Reading it, I was intrigued, appalled, stimulated, incited to action, and certainly entertained.

The athletic aspect of the TUNG method is paramount, it is a whole body sexual experience that is described in the book. It should not be underestimated. It is almost a holistic approach to sex, and being in good shape is necessary. I tried and trained for the benefit of the method, and I had better sex. Simple as that… my girl had better sex too! Straight up testimony to its efficacy.

Summary

It is intended that the reader of this book not only develop the sexual skills, but captures the masculinity that corresponds with a fucking hot sex life. The TUNG philosophy is one thing, the author’s perspective is another. And I think you can quite easily separate the two*. Anonymous X either gets it in a way I have yet to experience, or sees it in a way I can’t (or wont). Or, modesty aside, it could be that I see things clearer than the author’s philosophy and I am beyond some perspectives expressed in these pages. Either way, I liked TUNG – even though there is an obvious veering off in mine and the author’s stance. I learned from TUNG and ultimately it is a good developmental tool. I think that comes across despite some reservations.

Something I haven’t mentioned up until now is the perspectives of misogyny discussed in the book. The author categorizes modern misogyny in the opening paragraph. Some critics might say that this book itself is a misogynistic text resorting to simple archetypes. I wouldn’t agree with that, but the reason I mention this theme here, is I did debate for a while which category Anonymous X (the author) is in. I am sure now that he is in his own category, he has experience, knowledge and insight and it is obvious he loves women.

*To the lay reader it may seem that the strong masculine identity described in the author’s philosophy are fused with the practices of the book. Not true, in my experience this philosophy is only one way, and is easily flexible.
