Are males being emasculated

[Mig]

As I keep reading, I was wondering if men are being emasculated in Daoism?? In their diets, they forbid you to eat garlic and other pungent roots, and they keep men separated from women in their rituals as for the rituals in their religion. Not sure if the DDJ simulates as the woman or mother are on top of the pedestal. Just wondering

What haha?

Elimination of garlic and pungent roots are to help quell sexual desires and arousal, as does separation of living quarters and practice between men and women. This may not be as important or necessary later on in the path but starting out this helps a lot with consolidation of the jing and in calming the mind

...I really don't know what to say if not ತ_ʖತ
