Honor and love Sister.
Thanks for bringing forward this reasoning. This is something I have been thinking about a lot recently also.
Thanks and love also to the Kings for the positive and egalitarian comments.

I am not sure if the I is asking about separation during the moontime or just general separation of the genders.
I was watching King JAHcub's utube video about Nyahbinghi house, and Iman bring up these practices of separate men and wombman quarters. This is a link to the video masterfully explained by our Idren Bobobinghi: https://youtu.be/O04_TO1g0Fw
At about 9 and a half minutes is when Iman talks about the different male and female practices.
This Iditation I have been pondering is not about the Nyahbinghi mansion specifically, but it was while watching this video that inspired deep thought in I.
Many cultures practice male and female separation, not only Nyah House, not only Bobo Ashanti, and not only ancient Hebrew. I have wondered also about the cave churches like in Ithiopia where only male priests are allowed: how does this practice promote life and thereby honor the creator of life? In ancient KMT there were separate temples housing male or female priests.
I question how any culture can survive if man don't get prolific chances to breed wombman. In terms of permanent living quarters, it seems illogical and frankly homosexual, not necessarily in an erotic sense, but absolutely in a literal same-sex culture, not promoting Inity of sexes which agreeably is the only way to create human life.
That being said, it seems also that same sex culture in a literal sense promotes the erotic side of this also, in a more and more warped sense just watching the catholic bishops and priests.
In terms of spirituality, it impedes a man to have a wombman around, in as much as he lets it. It also benefits him, as much as he lets it. Human relationships are meant to teach us about the reality of soul Inity, and when we go about them in the wrong ways relationships cause a lot of pain. It is all how people use situations and whether they exert positive of negative energy.
But truly I do not think a real spiritual aspirant whether male or female can ever enter the Iyest overstanding til the person learns to humble themself to their opposite and their mate. In a soul mate partnership, in a balanced marriage, the people both teach each other how to be more righteous, honest, kind people. Both people humble themselves to the other person and open their minds to learning. So if a Lion thinks he can reach an Iyer level with the Lioness in a different home or even a seperate bedroom, it seems to I that the man is thinking negatively about the Impress and what she offers to his journey of life lessons, while obviously if the I look positively the I will see it as a benefit to have her around more.
At the same time it seems obvious that it is a benefit to the species to have the wombman around more and therefore have a higher probability of procreating. Theoretically it might be true that a wombman is fertile about 7 days of the 28 day cycle, give or take depending on how long the sperm can survive. However, all bodies are different. Some wombman even have 14 day cycles recurringly, and then get pregnant while bleeding or spotting (I know this because my sister had a situation like this for her first daughter).
And yes I adamantly stand for sex being for procreation purposes. But I am also all for the double purpose of the emotional effects: stress relief and emotionally cohesive power. Especially when people don't use contraceptives because they trust each other in the Iyest and know that it very well could create a life from the I's. Orgasm is a healthy Ixperience. I say man and wombman really can Fulljoy life if they choose to live together positively, learn from each other, and spend a lot of time together, and have sex often! Anyone who chooses otherwise such as having Lion and Lioness quarters separate, I say you are missing out.
As for the moontime separation, according to Hebrew scripture, there are more rules about this than simply not having sexual intercourse during this time. A wombman cannot cook during this time. Anything she sits on or any bed she sleeps in is unclean. If a man sits on the same stool or sleeps on the same bed, he is also unclean. Many more rules also!
If people want to follow these rules, then where will the man sleep? In the western culture people have many bedrooms and many beds, but in many countries people live in different conditions. Some families have one queen size bed for the couple and the five children. Some have straw mats on the floor! Is it practical or compassionate to send a wombman out of her bed, if these are the situations most wombman globally are living in? Or is it practical for a man to find a corner on the floor to sleep on for the week? This is not simply asking a wombman to move to a separate bed, the way some Kosher or Hasidic Jews would practice. As a Lioness who has experienced some extreme moontime, an understatement, I know that sometimes I cannot even leave the bed at all during this time. If a wombman is in severe pain and debilitating fatigue, where else should she be except her bed? This is a degrading and contentious idea when carried out universally.
To clearly answer the question VDR asked, no the menstrual fluids do not actually cause any sickness if a man comes into contact. It can be washed just as easily as blood from a wound. I am not sure about ingesting the fluid making people sick but I do not think that is a real risk if a wombman is cooking during this time. Haha obviously a person would have to try pretty hard to accomplish that... And why would they??
It seems to I that the practice of wombman not cooking during the moontime comes from the suspicion that the fluids will be used in spells or potions, not a thoughtful concession due to the wombman's fatigued state. Many times I Kingman will cook or make tea for I when I am in this state. But it is only to be nice, or because I am physically incapable at the time, not because I am forbidden from the kitchen. If a man wants to have the wombman stop cooking for the whole week and do the cooking for her instead, I hope she is thankful! Still no one should be forbidden or feel downpressed, but man and wombman should serve each other in RASpect and compassion, create life and sustain life as partners.
