And I have seen Urdhva-retas (sp) mentioned on for accomplished (aka
awakened) yogis-- "energy always flowing upwards". I suspect that
accomplished yogis can keep the energy always flowing upwards while
having sex. Something students can't do. Thus the recommendation /
stipulation of celibacy for students.
The article(s) on Muktananda provided some fuel for speculation in
this direction -- that is, yogi sex is not what most people think of
as sex. That is, he had sex with a flacid penis.
And accomplished tantrics appear to be able to do special, unusual and
"fantastic" things with energy during sex -- which may not involve
energy release or downward flow.
