And you are making the mistake of thinking that one school or book of
tantra represents all tantra. There are many schools of tantra
throughout India.

There is no such thing as "Tantric Sex".
Indian Tantra was transgressive in practice ... so coitus with a
low-caste or non-caste woman was a one of the means for breaking the
severe behavioral commandants and restrictions of Hindu life.
Sex is life ... not Tantra. Tantra is the personal worship of the
devâtma-shaktis and devyatma-shaktis that animate the cosmos.Tantric
ritual is its yogic codification while the inner agni-hotra
(antar-yaga) is the means.
Since Western society is already suffused with sex, drugs and
rock-n-roll, any Tantra practice based upon such praxis is not
transgressive. It therefore lacks the added fuel to break boundaries.
In Vajrayana yogas, the only value of a sexual partner (karma-madra)
is to more quickly and more powerfully activate the prana-s and pull
them into the spine's central channel. In fact, it is considered
almost parallel to the withdrawal of the pranas into the spine at
death. However, mere sexual enjoyment is tangential and is considered
a type of falling-down back to the sense-powers. It is NOT considered
either some kind of awakening nor is it considered liberating.
About Vajrayana yogas see Tsongkapa's explanation of each the six
yogas of Naropa.
