Google is not the place to ask about sexual energy. It'll list you websites like healthline.com which give superficial materialist information in line with the big companies' interests and technocratic elite's ideology...
Hi dear dithyramb,
fair enough, I could be more specific.
Google can point also to more trustworthy pieces than the average feel good magazine level, e.g.
When you're in the mood, it's a sure bet that the last thing on your mind is boosting your immune system or maintaining a healthy weight. Yet good sex offers those health benefits and more.

Indeed there is a boatload of sites jumping the health bandwagon for clickbait reasons and sex does a great attracting job for that, so one passes their income advertising etc. In that, your suspicion is legit. Yet in general, concerning the suggested sex health benefits mentioned, they don't urge one to buy their herbs, books, tools, condoms, pills, ... , as a condition to gain these purported benefits. Their clickbait strategy doesn't render the alleged benefits automatically into face value BS, it looks as if they tap into the mere scientific sources and just regurgitate from there, imho.

...Taoism and Tantra are the places to look into.
I have no substantial knowledge about Tantra, more details might add to this thread interest.
Taoism however, like 20 years ago I was a few years in a "tao-school", in particular the Universal Tao lineage of Mantak Chia, who payed a great interest in harvesting sexual energy as a source of energy, and redistribute this energy all over the body making use of the meridian playground.

If I was successful with the system exactly as advertised, I'd boast here about it. The participants often had to rely on fake it until you make it. I supect a nudge of fantastism, promise, clickbait avant la lettre, incentive to gain power/money, guy becomes successful by doing so, here too. Google did not invent that.
The meditations did pay off no doubt, as powerful focus management tools, redirecting (a point of awareness) trough the body. It was successful to a huge degree as a hands on meditation practice, but I, and many peer students too, failed on the big promise sexual energy part (I'll skip why exactly), despite Mantak Chia being a legit tao-ist and one of the few tao instructors walking the earth.
PS: Mantak brought forth a complete elaborate system, not just sexual attention alone.
Tao-ism is a very scattered landscape, there might be more references to sexual energies practices that I've no clue of, I'm all ears.
