One Woman and Two Monks

Ling Mengchu (1580—1644) produced over thirty works in various genres during his lifetime. He was a Confucian scholar and has been described as an "ethical hedonist". Very few of Ling's works have survived but two volumes of erotic stories known collectively as ''Two Slaps"' have been preserved. Each volume contains forty stories.

His stories are all preoccupied with sexuality and include bold, aggressive, cunning, and seductive men, and highly passionate, sensual, and sexually insatiable women.

Themes of covertness, deceitfulness, and voyeurism feature prominently, as do carnal orgies, partner swapping, and menage à trois, between all possible gender combinations.

Here is an excerpt from the story, One Woman and Two Monks...the three characters are the Old Monk, a young monk named Zhiyuan, and a female "village wench' named Du, who has entered the temple to get out of the rain.

Though highly passionate, the Old Monk was not a man with sexual stamina. Quite a bit of his sperm had leaked as he hugged Du, and the real engagement lasted for only a short while before he spent. Du had initially been very impatient with him. Now her discontent turned to ill-feeling. She rose and tied her skirt, grumbling, "You worthless old idiot! Aren't you ashamed? What have you been so desperate for?"

Knowing that he had left her unsatisfied, the Old Monk felt rather dejected. He called out to Zhiyuan to open the door for him, and Zhiyuan, unlatching it, stepped in and asked, "Was it good?"

"What an experienced woman!" said the Old Monk. "It is just that today I wasn't skillful enough and left her somewhat disappointed."

"I can work her up," said Zhiyuan.

He rushed into the room, and closing the door behind him, turned and embraced her...Seizing this chance, Zhiyuan took her into his arms and planted a deep kiss on her mouth. He then carried her to the bed and engaged her at once in copulation, which, in comparison with the previous session, was indeed very different:

He meets the beauty like a starving tiger devouring a lamb,

As a thirsty dragon seeks water, so is she crazed for the young man.
Lustful, the village wench cavorts wild and promiscuous,
Experienced, the Buddha man conquers the lecherous.
One thrusts hard and the other strives to receive him,
Both of them vie to be triumphant, with equal enthusiasm.
Although her gate is thrust wide open by the old master,
From the "Boddhisattva," the young novice obtains more water.
Zhiyuan was in the prime of his life, virile and brimming
