Ich habe Tantra von der Pike auf gelernt, und das hatte überhaupt nichts mit Sex zu tun.
Es ging darum, mithilfe von Visualisationstechniken, kombiniert mit Mantras oder Bija-Mantras, den Geistesfaktoren nachzuspüren, welche helfen, die verschiedenen mentalen Zustände zu analysieren und zu verstehen.
Wirklich? 
The practice of ingestion of sexual fluids is mentioned by numerous tantric commentators, sometimes euphemistically referring to the penis as the "vajra" and the vagina as the "lotus". The Cakrasamvara Tantra commentator Kambala, writing about this practice, states:
QuoteThe seats are well-known on earth to be spots within the lotus mandala; by abiding within it there is great bliss, the royal nature of nondual joy. Therefore the lotus seat is supreme: filled with a mixture of semen and uterine blood, one should especially kiss it, and lolling with the tongue take it up. Unite the vajra and lotus, with the rapture of drinking [this] liquor.[81]
According to David Gray, these sexual practices probably originated in a non-monastic context and were later adopted by monastic establishments (such as Nalanda and Vikramashila). He notes that the anxiety of figures like Atisa about these practices, and the stories of Virūpa and Maitripa being expelled from their monasteries for performing them, shows that supposedly celibate monastics were undertaking these sexual rites.[82]
