In Taoism, sex is defo not evil or immoral or bad, in any sense. The only caution is to do with the energy loss. A big aspect of Taoism, is cultivating and storing energy, so why waste?
As for science, well, science is more of a western concept; I believe though, they acquired a lot of knowledge through trial and error, and experimenting on themselves.

Yeah, really I'd suggest just go with what feels right for you; if you wanna abstain for a bit, and note the results, go for it; if not, that's ok too. You're still gonna die one day! So who gives a toss? (not being rude, just to say, that it's your life, and choice).
Take it easy dude.
