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.
I think sometimes it's time to leave the classroom.

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.
