			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">In case you are wondering about the term “People-Sexing” it is derived from the profession of chicken-sexing. When little chicks are first born there is no outward sign indicating which are male and which are female. The only physical difference at this point is a small protuberance just inside the anus of male chicks. Since it is important for chicken-raisers to know which is which, in earlier times they hired chicken-sexers to come in and sex the chicks by hand. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Chicken-sexers did this delicate separation by squeezing the chicks to open the anus, then feeling for the protuberance with their thumb. The best chicken-sexers were able to do this with both hands simultaneously, becoming so skillful that they could sex dozens of chicks per minute. To date, the record for chicken-sexing is held by Japanese women.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">So much for that! </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The principles and folk-knowledge on which this book is based were extracted from the author’s <em>Asian Face-Reading: Unlock the Secrets Hidden in the Human Face,</em> a pioneer work in revealing the ancient Chinese, Japanese and Korean traditions of face-reading.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The influence of your facial features on other people begins the moment you are born &#8212; from how you are going to be treated for the rest of your life, to the level of happiness and success you are likely to achieve. As you grow into adulthood, the size, shape and quality of your facial features also send out subliminal signals about your inborn sexual nature. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">In this provocative handbook face-reader Boyé Lafayette De Mente provides valuable insights and useful do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts in selecting playmates and life-mates&#8230;guidelines that will help you pick a hotty instead of a cold fish!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span>     </span>Facial features that are especially indicative of one’s built-in sexuality include the eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, mouth, teeth, chin and earlobes! Knowing how to read these signs can save you a lot of time—and disappointment!<span>  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span>     </span>This ebook edition of “People Sexing” is available from diesel-ebooks.com. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The custom of mistress-keeping in Japan is no longer officially or socially approved, but it continues nevertheless on a large scale—with many curious elements…which the author describes in detail.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The book covers copious insights into how the nighttime entertainment trades work in Japan, and how they relate to business and politics on an equally massive scale. Good background reading for tourists and businessmen. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Saburo was born in the mid-1600s when the country was ruled by the illustrious Tokugawa line of shoguns who had closed the country off to foreigners except for a tiny detachment of traders in Nagasaki&#8211;and had turned their backs on Western guns in favor of the traditional sword. </span></span></p>

It is both an educational and an inspirational read for young people.</span></span></p>
