So, what is tantric sex? - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:31:00.000-08:00

Here are a few ideas to introduce you to tantric sex.

This is by far not all there is but it will give you a starting point.

In the tantric world, a penis becomes a lingam. A vagina is a yoni.

Both lingam and yoni are divine attributes and gateways for profound pleasure and realizations.

Orgasm is never the goal.

The real tantric goal is transmutation of energies into higher forms.

By transmutation we mean no suppression, it is rather the gentle flow of energy from the lower chakras into the higher ones.

Stimulate your sexual energy through tantric sex and rather than reaching climax keep on building sexual tension in your body.

After a while (like a couple of weeks), you start experimenting opening in all chakras. It is like the creation of an inner space and clarity.

This happens on an energy level.

It is a blissful experience because it clears the mind.

This is the true meaning of sexual freedom.

For most people, sexual freedom means having sex with whoever you want.

Within tantric sex, sexual freedom would rather be the true freeing of sexual energy in your body.

Most of the times, sexual energy is simply constricted or limited within the lower chakras.

When you feel excited and engage into sex, your sexual energy tends to still be polarized in the usual energy channel.

The natural purpose of this energy channel is simply to concentrate the sexual energy to release semen and eventually give birth to a child.

Now, with tantric sex, you dissolve this channel and create a whole new use of your sexual energy in your body.

You give it a new expression.

To do so, as a man you “retrain” your instincts so that ejaculation and traditional orgasm does not happen.

This makes a total difference because for a man all the seeds of energy contained in the semen are concentrated and used in a different way.

A spermatozoid is filled with a life potential. It is a seed of energy and if you keep this seed inside, it will simply expand in very different ways.

Nature did not create this tantric pathway as its main expression.

Nature needed to be focused on procreation first; otherwise, the human race would not have survived.

The tantric sex way is a new development in human sexual behaviour which opens new doors in our consciousness.

The best way to go is to experience how it works in your body.

This retraining of the body is really why it can be challenging at first to engage into tantric sex.

Many people simply don’t have time and energy to retrain their instinctual sexual response.

Most men with who I talk, always loose semen in the sexual act.

This means that a sexually active male will easily loose semen a few times in a week.

Now, this usually creates an energy gap in the body and a significant loss of stamina.

Imagine what would happen if this stamina was kept inside rather than lost through ejaculation.

What about women?

We talk about loss of semen but what happens to women when they orgasm?

Do they loose stamina and tantric potential as well?

I am still actively investigating that question.

My preliminary conclusions show that women do as well loose a significant amount of stamina when they orgasm.

They might not loose semen (even though we talk about female ejaculation in some cases), but they do release sexual energy when they orgasm.

For a woman, sexual energy builds up in the body.

You engage into sex.

Eventually, you have and orgasm.

Now, what happens after orgasm or multiple orgasm?

In most cases, you loose this sexual tension feeling.

The energy that was built to create this inner tension is released and you fall asleep or engage into other activities.

You can as well simply lay there enjoying the after effects of the orgasm.

The release of energy is obvious.

Even though this release might not be as significant as for a man it is still there.

Now, imagine what happens when both partners keep on building sexual energy endlessly without having an orgasm.

This sexual energy eventually expands and breaks through to find new channels through the body.

Now, when this happens, you break through into a totally new life dimension.

Your mind feels brighter.

You feel happier.

Love and harmony keep expanding.

Your level of desire stays very high.

You connect with your lover in new very subtle ways.

You feel bright and extremely awake.

There is only way to go: experience it.

After a few weeks of active tantric sex practice (without orgasm or loss of semen), you enter literally in a new state of consciousness.

You might go through a whole series of mystical experiences where for instance your heart chakra starts boosting rhythmically in local and blissful energy explosions.

You feel intense brightness in your third eye.

Your solar plexus feels empowered and cleared from negative emotions.

This is not the end of course. It is only a sample of what you can experience.

So much more can happen and these are only the original stages of tantric experiences.

These experiences can easily start appearing in the first 3 months of your practices.

Of course, you need to combine tantric sex with active energizing of the body.

The best is to do some yoga or exercise in nature and eat very light and super healthy. This will speed up these tantric opening and harmonize your body.

Sexual tantric energy is like raw fire. You need to train that fire and help it find its purpose in your being.

Why pleasure is good - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:30:00.002-08:00

Amongst the most useless emotions you can develop in your mind, you find guilt.

The root of guilt is a conflict between what you experience in life and what you believe to be right or wrong.

One of the key guilt areas is sex.

When you have sex, there is a potential for a totally fulfilling experience.

It is a fire which wakes up in your body with a powerful stream of love.

This stream can take you to ecstasy.

If you stimulate this force even more, you reach a point of stillness and total bliss.

If you did experience this before, you probably wonder how such a magnificent experience can turn into a negative emotion like guilt, right?

This has of course to do with western and eastern mentalities, education, old beliefs and so much more.

A lot of this guilt is initiated in various religious fields.

Where does it come from?

Well, when you want to dedicate your life to the highest, the worldly pleasures can be a side track.

Many monastic traditions put renunciation in the core of their beliefs.

This means that they renounce many worldly quests like money, sex or other “superficial” and “non fulfilling” pathways.

Now, these beliefs have been so embedded for thousands of years that you might have forgotten why they even existed in the first place.

The emotion of guilt is simply a left over mind set which reminds you to walk in a certain direction.

It says that if you step aside and invite deep sensual ecstasy into your life, you will doomed and end up in the darkest areas of the human mind.

This is not true of course.

The path of spiritual evolution through sexual union does exist. It has been practiced by millions of people around the world for centuries.

It did lead many to very profound realizations about human life.

It created joy, intense love, a sense of unification in millions of lives.

Any pathway you take is a choice.

You are free to decide for yourself what suits you best.

What matters is that you feel fulfilled as a human being.

If you are thirsty, you can try to suppress this thirst or simply drink some water and enjoy the freshness of this simple experience.

A naked body is very pure.

Sexual union is a divine act if this is where you want to see it.

Like with any natural forces the goal is of course to master these energies, not to be a slave of them.

This is the context in which you can explore the quest for pleasure and ecstasy.

Sure, you can get side tracked.

Sure, you can wake up sources of fire in you which might be challenging to tame.

But guess what?

That’s the kind of learning process you go through in life when you engage yourself in any human activity.

Any exploration requires skills and sex tantra is an exploration.

You can use some guidance and existing ideas. No need to reinvent the wheel.

At the same time, with every step you take, you penetrate deeper and deeper into a virgin territory.

The laws directing the balance in these spheres might be slightly different than other life fields.

However, engaging into this quest can be intensely rewarding. A world of wonders is ready to be discovered.

The universal dimension of tantra - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:30:00.001-08:00

Tantra goes far beyond the limits of India.

The principles or ideas behind tantra are universal.

This means that they don’t even belong to a certain system or religion.

You can readapt these principles freely to your own life and rename them in whatever way you want.

The keyword here is “freedom”.

You are free to redesign any of these ideas according to your own needs.

You are free, yes!

The goal of this e-book and ideas is not limit you within a rigid set of rules and ideas.

The goal is to free your mind and offer you a protected space where you can expand your own beliefs, feelings and desires.

I trust you!

I trust that there is a guiding instinct in you which knows the answer to any question.

This is why everything you read here is totally open for being rewritten, changed or modified according to what you feel.

If you don’t like something which is said in these pages, erase it, change it or rewrite it according to what you feel.

It is your right to do it.

There is no such thing as absolute truth in this e-book.

These are only some ideas, concepts or guidelines which might help you take the next step.

If any of these next steps do not suit you, create another step which will fit better your unique needs.

Why go there in the first place - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:29:00.003-08:00

Sex is an infinite source of energy in you.

If the way you use your sexual energy is unfulfilling for you or those around you, it is essential to do something about it.

This is a path of life mastery.

The goal is to master the tools that were given to you.

If your sexual energy feels like a snake you can’t tame or partner with, then obviously something is missing.

If you let it go and simply forget about it, I am sure you might still lead a very happy life.

Now, somewhere down the line, your mind might be triggered by the desire to know more about your sexual life force.

This is the moment it might be helpful you to have some basic system to support you in take some steps.

I am convinced that if you take the time, you might rediscover such a system.

It will simply take you longer.

This e-book is a shortcut.

It offers you some ideas that you might recognize as already awaken in you.

It might simply be a confirmation of what you already know and help you take your next step along your sexual development line.

Gaining some form of understanding of your sexual energy is very rewarding.

Being able to use this sexual energy to multiply the awareness, inner power and satisfaction you get from being alive is even more thrilling.

Imagine having this river flowing through your property and realizing that you can turn this streaming water into a source of infinite and empowering energy.

This is exactly what sex tantra is about.

Your sexual energy is this river you can learn to tame and use.

Once you do, your whole perspective on life might be immensely expanded.

Tantric temple - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:29:00.001-08:00

Imagine an inner reality which contains all the tantric sex teachings and practices.

The goal is very simple:

When you start developing this tantric line in your life, no need to retreat to some tropical getaway to experience tantra.

You want to manifest the tantric temple in your own house, wherever you live.

The tantric essence is not some distant reality you can exceptionally connect with.

It is part of your daily essence.

It is part of your daily thoughts, feelings, impressions or desires.

It is with you all the time.

This means that you are the tantric temple.

Your being and your life are divine essences and all you have to do to manifest this reality is give it more space in your life.

You do that through your actions, choices and thoughts.

You do that in the way you design your personal space, through the connections you have with people or the way you interact with them.

Tantric sex is only a small fraction of the energy exchanges you can have in your life.

Sex is the perfect area to experiment with this but you quickly realize that what you discover through tantric sex is something you apply all day long.

You feel more sensually awake, enjoying natural daily pleasures.

You feel more deeply connected with those around you.

You discover a new dimension of joy no matter what you engage into.

Your level of awareness increases naturally.

You are clearer about what you want from your life.

And so much more of course.

You discover a new inner sense of freedom and space.

Your life is more blissful.

You feel wonderful when you spend time in nature.

Your senses are awake.

Do you want me to go on?

Tantra is a very vast field and the tantric sex doorway gives you access to an energy connection which expands to all aspects of your life.

Tantric sex – Is it just a test? - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:28:00.001-08:00

If you came across the idea of tantric sex before, you might have read that sex and desire are just tests.

You might have heard that in fact, the goal is to transcend desire and be able to move beyond it.

In that sense the sculptures of Khajuraho would be the external expression of your sex drive and once you enter the tantric temple, all desires become still and you enter into peace and total bliss.

Is this true?

In my experience, desire is not a force to be suppressed.

It is a force to be tamed and mastered.

Imagine again the waves of the sea.

You can fear them and stay away from them or you can surf them and master the immense energy they convey.

Desire, pleasure and sex are powerful energies which can take you to total bliss.

They are like an elevator force which offers you a shortcut to the most incredible mystical experiences.

These forces where given to you by nature.

They are divine in essence like any other aspect of your life.

Rather than taking the “suppression” path which is suggested by many spiritual traditions, you can embrace desire and all dimensions of your emotions and use this force as a catalyst for what you are looking for.

Tantra is a fire and like with any fire, you need to develop the skills to master it and tame it.

Yes! In a way, it is a test.

The test is not to suppress your desires, rather use them.

Once you dive into these various dimensions of pleasure and delight, you gently dive into this inner core of stillness where even desire disappears.

It is like being in the eye of the hurricane in which absolute bliss is manifested.

Tantric sex is much more than a test: it is a vehicle.

It has the power to add a new dimension to your existence which radically shifts the way you stand in life.

The central core of the tantric temple - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:27:00.000-08:00

Imagine that around this temple you have gardens and other smaller buildings.

Imagine that once you enter the temple, you touch on a new dimension which establishes bliss as your key state of being.

In the core of the tantric temple, you find this total sense of union with everything which lives on this planet.

This is why tantric sex is a gateway or a vehicle.

Once you establish yourself firmly in that core, you discover a whole new set of life potentials.

You perceive your life from a new fresh and empowered perspective.

The key quality is clarity, awareness and peace.

It really feels like being home at last.

Now, this is an experience or a space you want to protect.

With the experience of bliss itself, you access as well new fire skills which give you the power to protect what you just discovered.

Have you ever had a mystical experience and felt very vulnerable afterwards?

This is why in the core of this inner experience you will discover as well new resources of power which give you all the skills you need to protect this “access” path in you.

This essence in you is very precious.

Wake up all the skills you need to “secure” and protect that experience in you.

No one will ever take it away from you.

Once you experience it, it is yours forever.

The inner school of tantric sex - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T07:26:00.000-08:00

Imagine an inner school or system that you can intuitively access.

Imagine that through your meditation, you can envision exactly what tantric sex is about without ever reading about it.

Imagine that the tantric sex system is sponsored by a powerful and intelligent force which empowers your actions.

This inner school of tantric sex is an inner reality you can tune into.

Many books have never been written.

Many mantras have never been spoken.

Many techniques have never been transmitted.

They stay invisibly suspended in the inner worlds.

By accessing this inner school, you can tune into that reality.

Every time you have an idea or a vision of something you want to do, where do you feel this idea comes from?

Was it initiated right there in your mind out of nowhere or is it the result of an interaction between your mind and a specific profound spiritual reality?

There are many “inner systems” or “inner teachings” which are never transcribed or transmitted in the form of a manifested message.

The inner school of tantric sex is simply one of these streams.

Key strategies to stimulate your life force - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:08:00.001-08:00

Life force is an essential aspect of your being.

There are many ways you can activate it:

Eating healthy
Exercising
Focusing on exciting targets in your life
Activating your social life
Caring for nature
Being creative
Loving your children
Sex
And so much more

Sex is one avenue.

If you had great sex in the past, you know how this gives you an energy boost.

You feel happy, fulfilled and immensely energized.

Your life force is a substance you can learn to master.

Tantric sex is one amongst many lines of activity which can activate your life power.

Any of the streams or activities we mentioned above have the potential to be a mystical or spiritual experience.

Tantric sex is simply one of them.

Energy exchange - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:07:00.001-08:00

Energy exchange is what you look for with tantric sex.

This energy exchange can happen between you and another being.

It can happen as well internally as an energy circulation pattern.

You can for instance focus on energy exchange with the absolute.

This is the universal dimension of your being.

You simply realize that you are united at all times with the life force which surrounds you and you find ways of activating this connection.

You can have a similar type of energy exchange with nature for instance.

You can jump in the fresh waves of the sea and get this intense feeling of union with the elements.

We don’t usually call this sex, right?

It is still some form of energy exchange.

You don’t have to call it tantra either.

This experience did exist long before the term or concept of tantra was created.

So, yes! It is obvious that energy exchange escapes any form of definition.

Tantra is simply a way of calling it.

It is simply to give it a name and a place within a vaster dynamics of things.

You can call this energy exchange whatever you want or whatever you feel comfortable with.

If you don’t have a word or expression coming to mind, you can always use the terms “tantric exchange” or “energy exchange” to describe these experiences.

Does energy exchange only happen between men and women? - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:06:00.001-08:00

Of course not.

You do exchange energy with every single living form on this planet and the universe.

When you touch a tree, there is an instant harmonizing connection established.

This happens on an etheric level or energy level.

We are just starting to understand and unveil the dynamics of these energy exchanges.

For those of you who read or saw the Celestine prophecy, this is the type of energy exchange we talk about.

You can call it universal sex if you want.

Sex simply involves a specific type of energy exchange.

If you are straight, you’ll feel this with the opposite sex.

If you are gay, you’ll tend to establish this connection with the same sex.

See the world in and around you as a vast and complex network of energy exchanges.

When we talk about tantric sex, we focus on one specific type of energy exchange.

What is nature tantra? - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:05:00.002-08:00

The moment you connect with nature, you can call this nature tantra.

If you go to nature and feel this harmonizing force waking up in you, it is the sign that energy is flowing between you and nature around you.

This can happen with trees and flowers, with the sea, with mountains…

With anything!

It happens all the time!

It happens whether you are aware of it or not.

Your body is never isolated.

On an etheric or energy level you exchange energy with your environment all the time.

The moment you are in nature, you feel a certain type of energy exchange.

Now, you can consciously activate this energy exchange.

Suppose you go for a walk on the beach.

You can walk with your hands in your pockets, lost in deep thoughts or you can stop, look at the sea, breathe deeply, make some movements, take off your clothes and jump in the water.

Of course when you take all these activation steps, something “more” will happen because you will activate your link with the elements around you.

The four walls of your house act as a protection but as well as an isolating force.

The moment you step out of this protection, you start dynamically exchanging with nature around you.

You have plenty of ways of activating this exchange of life force.

As this is not really the topic of this e-book, we won’t go into it.

Remember that there is more than simply the traditional sexual exchange between human beings.

Exchange of life force with nature around you offers a whole avenue of development as well.

It might even be much easier to start with that one if you don’t know where to begin.

What is city tantra? - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:05:00.001-08:00

What if you are in city?

Well, the same type of energy exchange applies.

This time you function within what we could call a civilized environment.

You exchange energy with people, places, tools or activities.

For instance, if you go for a drink in a café, you will establish a very specific set of energy exchange with this specific environment.

You might have this very nice feeling of happiness and fun just by being there.

You’ll chat, laugh, taste a delicious cocktail and spent the rest of the night dancing or singing.

Now, you might feel great in that context.

Someone else might not like it at all.

They might feel awkward and out of place.

There are hundreds of ways of relating to a specific environment.

Again, you can see what happens in this café as a vast network of energy exchange.

You’ll feel really good if energy does flow.

You’ll feel bad if you can’t connect or don’t know how to.

Now, expand this idea or concept to anything you do in a city: business, shopping, social life, gym, etc.

If you feel good, it usually means that you do “master” that environment to a certain point.

You know how to “activate it”.

This is what I call “city tantra”: it is this vast network of activities and energy exchanges you can consciously practice and wake up in a civilized environment.

I call it tantra but could call it anything else of course.

This is just a word which reminds me of the energy exchange aspect.

Quest for beauty and harmony - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:04:00.002-08:00

The beauty dimension of tantra is omnipresent.

It is expressed through art, sculptures, clothes, singing, music, poetry, oils, presence of nature and so much more.

This refinement offers a dimension of delight to this tantric stream.

It makes the whole tantric experience more enjoyable for the senses.

When you engage into tantric sex, activate as well this dimension of beauty and refinement.

It will simply multiply the pleasure you get from any practice

Tantric foods and diets - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:04:00.001-08:00

Food is an energy form.

Raw food is of course closer to nature and its original form.

When foods are heavily processed, they loose this energy content.

Imagine for instance that you can choose between fresh fruit and tined one, which one would you go for?

Which one do you feel would be the most beneficial for you?

You can apply the same approach to anything you eat.

Eating healthy is your choice of course.

You stay free at all times to eat whatever is suitable for you.

Within the tantric tradition, I don’t remember ever coming across a book or article, mentioning what tantric food was.

If you think “Tantric food” I am sure you will come up with a few guidelines which are suitable for you.

Two elements seem to be essential:

How much life force does this food contain?
How much pleasure will I get when I eat it?

These are two simple questions you can ask yourself when selecting your next meal or preparing it.

My choice:

I tend to go now for raw food
Lots of fruit and vegetables
Lots of dried fruits
Fresh juices
Some milk products in the form of yoghurt or cheese
Some tofu like products
Some grains in the form of muesli
Little or no meat or fish

It takes me maximum 5 minutes to prepare a meal: usually a fresh salad with a few different vegetables and sauce.

My favorite for breakfast and lunch: muesli with fresh fruit, yoghurt and juice.

For snacks: dried fruit.

That’s it for now on this topic.

Physical preparation - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:03:00.001-08:00

You know that Hatha Yoga is a way of preparing the body to receive “higher” energies.

Having a healthy and harmonious body is essential for the practice of sex tantra.

Any form of exercise is okay.

If you feel unhealthy, start with anything.

It can be gym, jogging, dancing, yoga, martial arts, biking, etc.

Anything!

The first step is to move your body.

Why is it that essential to be in good shape?

Your body is your first and most essential asset.

If you don’t feel good in your body, it impacts on your mind, emotions and thought patterns.

You can make really good progress on the sex tantra line and have huge draw backs related with disharmony on the body or mind level.

This is why energizing your body is so essential.

If you don’t know where to start, yoga or martial art classes are definitely my favorites.

The social support you get when you join a class makes it easier to exercise.

If you don’t want to join a class, take off in nature or to the beach and do some exercise there.

The goal is to harmonize and energize your body.

Mind preparation - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T06:01:00.000-08:00

Of course you can apply the same guideline for mind preparation.

Preparing your mind means getting rid of undigested emotions, extra stress or limiting beliefs.

You learn to relax, can practice some simple meditation techniques or simply take some time to distress in nature.

All these harmonizing activities are powerful.

The goal is to make sure that your mind is truly your best ally.

If you walk around with negative self limiting beliefs, this becomes a permanent burden which drains your energy.

This is the last thing you want.

Harmonizing and empowering the mind is again a vast topic.

New code of ethics - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T05:58:00.002-08:00

Code of ethics?

Yes! This is essential.

Tantra is a form of fire and energy.

The moment you wake it up in you, you are given a whole new set of powers in your existence.

There is always a risk for these powers to be abused.

They can turn against you or those you love.

They can hurt your life and the life of others.

This is why it is essential to strengthen your values and decide before you even start about what is okay and what is not.

Everyone is of course responsible for their own actions.

When you buy a car, you know that you have to respect the speed limits and traffic lights for instance.

Same goes for tantric sex.

Many of the potential pitfalls are described in the coming pages.

It is essential that before you take challenging steps, you simply think twice and check for yourself if your choice is the wisest direction to go.

Yes! Be wise!

One of the key values you want to strengthen is: respect.

Respect for yourself, for others and other belief systems.

For now, I don’t have a fixed code of ethics I can transmit.

At this stage, I think it’s everyone’s responsibility to choose their own.

In the coming pages, we’ll check deeper some of the pitfalls with key solutions.

Tantric commercialization - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T05:58:00.001-08:00

This is one of the top challenges tantra faces.

Success with tantra has nothing to do with money or organizations.

The commercial system existing anywhere around the world is just a way of exchanging goods.

Now, when we enter into spiritual oriented fields, commercialization can create this disturbing background sound, especially when you are looking for total and mystical purity.

It happens to yoga as well. It happens to meditation schools and organizations.

It is the risk of loosing track with what you intended to do at first.

For instance, when a tantric teacher sets up an organization and starts selling products online, there is a high risk of getting side tracked.

The commercial aspect of this teacher’s activities can totally overlap the original tantric quest.

This means that students wanting to get in touch with the tantric system might feel first the marketing structure of what is offered.

Everyone is learning of course.

Tantric teachers are good people and simply want to strengthen a message or a teaching.

I know they are doing their best.

Now, what we see today might not be the end of the story.

New systems and teachings might be emerging, which will be based on a different set of priorities: open and free transmission might come before money.

This means that words like “copyright”, “membership”, “price” are all words which could be disappearing from the tantric environment.

When you start thinking of the greater good and the free transmission of tantra, the dynamics needed to achieve this are very clear: freedom, space, trust, love, respect and so much more.

These are the qualities we’ll try to set up in the centre of our activities.

As we do so, we’ll try to keep the commercial or marketing aspects aside and put back the absolute essence of tantra in the core of our message.

What does the eastern tantric tradition think of tantric sex? - ARTICLE

2009-12-16T05:57:00.001-08:00

As far as I know, you do have sex tantra schools in India as well.

However, these streams are marginal in India as they are in the West.

The main tantric stream in India has little to do with sex.

It is based on worship, rituals and devotion.

Many people in the East will be shocked by sex tantra practices. They might see it as a dangerous direction to engage into.

Now, there are other streams which do encourage the mystical sexual arts.

The whole stream of Kama Sutra or what you find in the temples of Khajuraho are all tantric sex jewels you find nowhere else.

This means that India is probably as divided as the West concerning the idea of tantric sex.

Did you know for instance that Gandy wanted to have the temples of Khajuraho destroyed?

This is where these well know erotic sculptures come from.

Apparently, there was something in that tantric stream that he did not like.

The tantric community and a few well known eastern figures opposed this destruction and the temples were saved.

In the East as in the West, there are many different opinions, some of them very extreme.

In terms of exactly how many people in India would embrace the sex tantra stream, I definitely have no clear idea.

My guess is that it is probably similar to what you find in the West.

This is the main reason tantric sex used to have a bad reputation in the last couple of decades in the West: it was abused.

Basically a few well known masters rushed in the West and thought they could wipe out the existing beliefs and practices.

They broke fundamental rules and often betrayed the trust of their followers.

The existing sex tantra schools in the west have learned from these mistakes.

Most of them are now well integrated and do respect and encourage the established laws and beliefs.

Go online and make a search for tantra.

You will see dozens of workshops, classes and books on this topic.

Most of the organizations or persons promoting these teachings and systems are totally respectful and will take you in the right direction with developing tantra.

This means that they will usually be respectful and mature in their approach.

Of course, like with any teaching or courses, some might be fit for you and some might not.

This happens for anything you want to study and explore.

You simply need to be wise and discriminative.

Listen to and trust your instinct with that.
