    its bad for your eyesight and good for building endurance and callouses on your hands. Which makes an extra layer of protection should you be forced to fight. How can that not be Daoist?

    Yes, according to tradition. But don't believe they knew everything, because they didn't and they don't!

    The belief is based upon the erroneous assumption that you waste Chi essence. They have confused the parasympathetic response to orgasm, which results in relaxation, with a loss of energy instead of understanding it as what it is, a release of tension, which is beneficial! One of the foundational principles of Taoism is the conservation of energy and the preservation of the body. If one is over tense then it behooves one to find a relaxed state. Orgasmic release assists in psychological and physical relaxation.

    Remember, they didn't have science to assist them with the conclusions they drew from phenomena. They reached conclusions based upon outward "appearance"!

    Agreed, later Taoists said as much.

    The thing that is supposed to be bad about it, is if become habitual.
    And, if it lowers you "drive" to meet the opposite sex and lowers the ability to enjoy the more subtle nature of sex with a mate.
