QI being circulated between man and woman in an optimal cycle of yin and yang is more of a cultivation thing, which is pretty much just Chinese. If this were a manhua, you'd have a point, but it's a manga, so that aspect probably is not so much a thing here. As for FSN, Nasu didn't want to write them but was forced to due to exec meddling; specifically, "sex sells, so put it in", not anything like you're referencing. That's why it never really showed up again in the Nasuverse after that, though doujins keep returning to the concept for obvious reasons.Also Asian countries love the whole "Physical contact to transfer chi/qi/mana" thing like in the original Fate stay night and even earlier. The more "intimate" the action the better the transfer rate.
I find the whole dark magic taking your max life thing kinda contrived though since he cast like what 2 or 3 spells and somehow that reduced him to nearly dead status? Also I assume an elf giving you some life span was like a drop in the bucket to her actual life span lol.
To be fair, he was casting it against multiple familiars of a god several times, and holding the spell, rather than just having it be an instantaneous cast; that's far more impactful than just casting a forbidden spell quickly to get an instant effect and then move on. Plus it was the familiars of the god he'd just sworn to, plus the whole swearing to a god aspect, so there's probably more to it there, as well.
