Nahuas believed in sex in the context of marriage and allowed polygamy but some Tlatoanis had "Xochichua" lovers among their wives, biological men who identified as women, does this imply a transgender marriage?

by Chicano_Ducky

In general the view on sex seems to be inconsistent with some sources saying Nahuas were intense prudes with sex not being tolerated unless you were married and over 20 years old while other sources say the they were "deviants" with sexually charged rituals and customs.

Some sources say they pushed marriage hard, but other sources say that was not true and the region had "holy" prostitutes that filled a holy role in the philosophical and religious thought without marriage being needed.

What exactly was the relation between sex, love, and marriage in Nahua thought?

Mesoamerica was accepting of "Xochihuas", men who identified as women and even served as concubines to kings and were "children" of multiple gay gods, but the Tlatoani of Texcoco banned sodomy and homosexuality.
