I have heard that the sexual aspects of tantra were for those who were not ready for or too impatient to go to the heart of the tantra practices, so the tantra masters would give them the sex stuff to do till the students got serious about their practice and give up the sex and go into the deeper aspects of tantra - true or not true?

A sure sign that someone is not practicing tantra is that they deny the sexual origins and goals of tantra. LoL! Everyone knows that tantra yoga began as a sex cult in Gupta Age India; tantrics sought to fuse the male and female aspects of the cosmos into a blissful state of consciousness. There's no life without sex and the combination of male and female is the path to the non-dual experience. "The rites of Tantric cults, while often steeped in symbolism, could also include group and individual sex. One text advised devotees to revere the female sex organ and enjoy vigorous intercourse. Candidates for worship included actresses and prostitutes, as well as the sisters of practitioners." Work cited: 'Yoga and Sex Scandals: No Surprise Here' By William J.
