So I’m curious as to the bit about sexual misconduct.

Only because there were some schools (not all) within the Mahayana tradition that did include some sexual rituals. Some of these were passed into Taoist Schools that embraces Buddhist philosophy, rituals, and ideas.

Were there nuances to what they described as “sexual misconduct”?

Can we make the discernment that sexual conduct is OK if mutually consenting, but not otherwise?

How do we explain these?
