Tao Te Ching
Prayer Mat of Sex 肉蒲团 (Jou Pu Tuan)
By Lǐ Yú
A frequently banned and censored attack on Confucian puritanism, described as “the greatest erotic novel of all time,” and an allegorical presentation of the Buddhist notion of karma; Li Yu wrote this anonymously, never publicly admitted to being the author but the writing style is unmistakably. One of the strong points it makes it that sex is good and healthy if related to like a medicine or a drug but harmful if approached as ordinary food.
