Three Feminine Energies: The Yin Aspects Within Us
These three feminine energies exist within all bodies, representing different aspects of our yin energy.
In Taoist sexual practices, particularly within the framework of sexual kung fu, terms like “Plain Girl,” “Mysterious Girl,” and “Rainbow Girl” refer to different levels or stages of feminine sexual energy. These concepts are part of a broader understanding of how sexual energy (often referred to as “jing” or “chi”) can be cultivated, refined, and harmonized within the body for health, longevity, and spiritual development.
Plain Girl: This represents the basic, unrefined sexual energy that is present in all women. It’s the raw sexual energy that is often associated with the physical aspect of sexuality, without much spiritual or energetic transformation.
Mysterious Girl: This stage represents a more advanced, refined, and subtle form of sexual energy. The “mysterious” aspect suggests a deeper connection to the more esoteric and spiritual dimensions of sexuality. At this level, sexual energy is not just physical but is beginning to be used for personal transformation and spiritual growth.
Rainbow Girl: This is the most advanced and refined level of sexual energy. The “rainbow” symbolizes the full spectrum of energy, suggesting that at this stage, the sexual energy has been fully cultivated, harmonized, and integrated within the practitioner’s body and spirit. It’s often associated with the ability to use sexual energy for profound healing, enlightenment, and the cultivation of inner vitality.
These terms are part of the symbolic language used in Taoist practices to describe different qualities and stages of energy that can be developed and harnessed through specific techniques and exercises. The progression from Plain Girl to Rainbow Girl reflects the deepening of one’s practice and the increasing mastery over one’s sexual energy.
Men and male-aligned individuals can carry and work with feminine sexual energy as well. In Taoist practices, sexual energy, or “jing,” is not strictly tied to biological gender but is seen as a vital force that exists in everyone, regardless of sex. While the terms “Plain Girl,” “Mysterious Girl,” and “Rainbow Girl” are traditionally used to describe stages of feminine energy, the underlying principles apply to both men and women.
In Taoist thought, everyone possesses both yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) energies. The cultivation of sexual energy in Taoist practices often involves balancing these forces within oneself. For men, working with feminine energy is about tapping into the yin aspects of their own sexual energy, which can lead to greater balance, health, and spiritual growth.
By understanding and cultivating feminine energy, men can:
Enhance Emotional Sensitivity: Feminine energy is often associated with emotions, intuition, and receptivity. By cultivating this energy, men can develop greater emotional awareness and sensitivity, which can enrich their relationships and deepen their spiritual practice.
Improve Sexual Health: In sexual kung fu, balancing masculine and feminine energies can lead to more controlled and fulfilling sexual experiences. Men can learn to conserve and circulate their sexual energy rather than dissipating it, which is believed to enhance vitality and longevity.
Achieve Inner Balance: Embracing feminine energy helps men balance their inherent yang (active) energy with yin (passive) energy, leading to a more harmonious inner life. This balance is essential for overall well-being in Taoist philosophy.
Spiritual Development: Cultivating feminine energy can open up pathways to deeper spiritual experiences, as it involves surrender, receptivity, and the ability to connect with the subtler, more mysterious aspects of existence.
In essence, men can benefit from the same processes of refining and cultivating sexual energy that are described in these stages of feminine energy. The key is in balancing the yin and yang energies within themselves to achieve harmony, vitality, and spiritual insight.

The Mysterious Girl – Emotionally Charged Desire
A more spiritually advanced expression of sexual energy.
Desire that is both emotional and physical—romantic longing, deep connection, or soulful attraction.
The Rainbow Girl – Transformative Sexual Energy
Sexual energy as a force for personal power and transformation.
Arousal fuels growth—used to empower change in ourselves, careers, communities, and beyond.
There’s a legend about the Rainbow Girl helping an emperor, symbolizing how this energy can be channeled into great purpose.
