Mana is Mana is Spirit Energy is Spirit Energy. It's the man's Life Force, or Essence, if you prefer. The only difference between what you're calling (old) and (new) mana (Flod) is that spirit energy is more concentrated in semen, because semen is the "seed" of new life.

Semen being tightly connected to a man's life force is not a new idea. In many cultures, it's long been believed that when a man impregnates a woman, he's giving a part of his essence away to do so. For reference, see the Etoro people or many of the ancient Tantric traditions, and many others to boot.

The things a mamono does are not just in pursuit of sex (OP), though it is a very high priority for them. Bluntly put, the series creator has outright stated that they have free will, and that they spend time with their husband because they 'enjoy' it, not because they have to. What the series creator says, goes.

As I've stated before: If everything a mamono did was to get a man or have sex with them, they'd literally never accomplish anything. They wouldn't have a burgeoning culture (which they do), they would not be able to enjoy any forms of art beyond its ability to get their man hard(which they do), they would not be able to hold down jobs (which they do), they certainly would not be able to own and operate businesses (which they do) so on and so forth (which they also do).

That said? If you insist on saying those things are done in pursuit of sex? Then I'll ask you this: What do humans do that is not ultimately in pursuit of sex? Because there is nothing humans do that mamono do not, and often times better. Excepting, possibly, killing. Mamono typically do not kill. And humans have made something of an artform of it.
