Very interesting question. When Tao was established, there was no contraceptives yet. For Taoists Sex is just a matter of balancing the Yin and Yang. "Yang or element of expansion in them is too much developed. Are they exceedingly irritated? the Yin or opposite element is too much developed. When those elements thus predominate in men, (it is as if) the four seasons were not to come (at their proper times), and the harmony of cold and heat were not to be maintained; would there not result injury to the bodies of men?(4)" So for the true practitioner of Taoism, maybe, they don't use contraceptives, like condoms or spermicides. They rather wait for "safe period". Or maybe they have some natural contraceptives; Papaya seeds perhaps? = Papaya =
Women in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and other parts of the world have long used papaya as a folk remedy for contraception and abortion.[citation needed] Medical research in animals has confirmed the contraceptive and abortifacient capability of papaya, and also found that papaya seeds have contraceptive effects in adult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaya

What happens to Taoisms after life?
In a sense Taoism is not so much a religion as a philosophy that is usually imposed on other religions. Taoists have a rather unspecific idea of divinity and afterlife. Most Taoists are Buddhists, who believe in reincarnation. Many Taoists are adherents of Chinese Folk Religions who seem to share a believe in afterlife centering around spirits of the dead who are the ancestors one should worship. Other Taoists are members of other religions with other beliefs.
What is the name of The God of the Taoist?
Taoists don't believe in any gods. They believe in peace and calmness through the body. They don't often pray but when they do, it's often for someone to talk to. Taoists believe in kung fu and all of that stuff but don't have any gods to worship. So if you find a name for a god of the Taoist it's happy for you but i don't think there is a Taoist god. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taoists believe in numerous deities, headed by the Jade Emperor & his Bride the Empress of the West. Above the Jade Emperor are the 3 Pure Ones.

Why do taoists follow a vegetarian diet?
Taoists aren't vegetarians. They are frugal meats, but don't abolish them. They do, however, incorporate increased amounts of fruits, veggies, seeds and nuts in their diet. Anyway, they follow such an organized diet regime because taoists regard the diet as extremely important to their physical, mental, and spiritual being. Taoists also believe that different foods have different amounts of chi in them. Basically they follow their diet to maintain and regulate balance.
