Why do people beat their seats before they sit down on public transportation?
I’m not satisfied with the answer. Bit rude innit?
I asked my co-workers about this and they told me it is because the sits are usually still hot/warm/deflated, therefore if they padded/strike the cushion before sitting down, hopefully it will be cooler to sit on it…
What I’ve heard is that bad qi is expelled through the anus. By sitting in a recently occupied seat before any possible bad qi has been dispelled, one risks picking up some of it.
Every good Taiwanese knows you get HEMMORHOIDS from hot bus seats. Heard that one before? That’s why everyone sits on the edges of recently-vacated seats.
Cranky, the assumption I must make is that qi is also absorbed through the rectum… wrecked him? Damn nearly killed him

God, Joe! That joke’s so old… 
The hot ass part sounds right. But they don’t wait long enough for it to cool off. The qi idea sounds pretty silly to me however. And it’s kind of gross. Like farting. Although farting on a crowded bus is fun.

This is the answer I was given many years ago in Hong Kong when I remarked upon the practice. I usually give anything I intend to sit on a good press before offering my arse up to it. This however is to confirm whether it is likely to support my enormous bulk.
Further to that. As any martial artiste knows, good and bad qi can drop out your arse. That’s why the tongue goes to the roof of the mouth and the anus is clenched when doing qi building exercises. It also opens a connection between the 8 extra channels allowing the qi to better circulate throughout the body.
Personally I can’t say I’ve ever noticed the chair beating phenomenon and frankly have no idea whatsoever.
Wait . . . a flash occurs . . . get rid of bad luck? They’re always on about good and bad luck, find a penny pick it up . . and you’ve just inherited someone else’s awful misfortune. Seems horribly unfair.

It is also a way for men to postpone orgasm during sex. Just thought you’d all might like to know.

What? Could you explain this in a bit more detail, please?

Remember Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Relax? Same principle. Although I don’t think you actually NEED something up there in order to clench.

Well, contrary to what Magnolia wrote it is not a matter of relaxation.
I first read about this in one of those “History” books from the early 90s. The History of Sex, I think. It explained an ancient Chinese technique of postponing orgasm. The technique consisted of pressing the tongue against the roof of the mouth and tightening the sphincter muscles just as you were building up to a climax. The result would be a sudden drop off in sexual intensity thus postponing orgasm.
Having experimented with this I can tell you that the timing has to be right. Too soon is not much good, and too late of course even worse. Also, the sexual position matters very much. It’s pretty hard to touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue when your partner wants to kiss. It’s also tough to thrust and contract at the same time. 
In any case, I was under the impression that most Chinese men knew about this technique. I mentioned it during a drinking bout at a friend’s house one night and all the guys seemed to know about it from Chinese literature.
Wow, this topic has really gone astray. :shock:

The modern version uses the known “kegel” exercise. Flexing your P.C. muscle at the right time might help with postponing ejaculation (not to be confused with orgasm). Mind you, many urologists would argue against the use of such flexing, or any other method that restricts free flow. Think of balloons. Now, where is the too-much-information icon?

But why would you want too?
I’m sticking with the qi building on this one. Actually, from a Chinese medical perspective it’s not good to shoot your load too often. I forget it now but the suggested quota is basically nothing in winter and (x?) in summer and spring. However, if you do the tongue and bum thing, you can recover your “jing”. Not to be mistaken for felching of course. That;'s an altogether different act and I’m not sure what Chinese medicine says about that.

I hate to think of it, but I suppose the Taiwanese make some sense on this one. Say somebody who’s had way too much gaolicai lays a dozen cabbage farts into the upholstery and then stands up. The next person who plomps down onto the seat may get a rude surprise.
That said, my guess it’s really an attempt to make sure that they’re not about to sit down into something sticky or otherwise nasty.
We have travelled wide and far with this issue but my vote’s for Mofangren.
