I learned about the female deer exercise through reading the Tao of Sexology and was very surprised to see it here. What I am more surprised by is the fact that no one here seems to know its true purpose. The deer exercise is an ancient Chinese method of family planning and balancing the glandular system. The chi rotations are only half of the exercise. Kegels make up the second half. They feel ceasing menstruation is beneficial because your body would then use the blood and nutrients you would ordinarily lose. AND you won't get pregnant lol.

I unfortunately never remember the kegels while massaging but I'm sure the added nutrients would be beneficial to NBE.

Since so any ladies are doing kegels and chi rotations anyway, does anyone else want to see if we can cease our menses? x) I'd imagine that cycling herbs wouldn't be necessary if it works.

This site is no where near as in-depth as my book but here's some info on the full exercise and benefits:
