It was brought up in a class on love in Chinese and Western literature that I was taking last year. The hypothesis we came up with was that gay sex would have been best to prevent the loss of vital life force, but IDK what the Daoist experts think on that.
The time honored tradition of justifying the terrible shit you've done by putting it in your religious text.
Can't think of any religion that hasn't done this.
I'm no expert in Daoism in general, but the daodejing doesn't have anything like this in it
There is however freaky Daoist sex magic
Maybe I need to get more into Daoism??!

There are non-literary religious traditions. This is most of human religious experience in fact
