I will challenge the commentary on the relationship between Japanese religion and sexual morality.

There are four religions in Japan.
Confucianism
Buddhism
Taoism
Shinto

Confucianism is a strict religion that had a great influence on the samurai class.
In Confucianism sex before marriage may be considered blasphemy to ancestors.

Buddhism denies all human desires and libido is a symbol of desires. Therefore Buddhism is also ascetic.

Taoism spread to Japan in old era. Onmyoudo used by legendary magician Onmyouji is Taoism. Taoism does not ban anything.

Shinto is a inherent religion in Japan that continues from the oldest period.
State Shinto is related to the Imperial family and was used for nationalism in the past.
It is very formal.

On the other hand, in the original Shinto from ancient times, sexual intercourse is a mysterious force that creates life.
It was thought to be the root of the universe and not corruption.

Japanese people believe various religions depending on the situation like ancient Romans.
