“Tantra is a great yea-sayer; it says yes to everything.”

Tantra promotes a complete sensual and sexual experience with awareness of the value of space and retreat to exploit and desire for access. Note that tantra can be an individual practice; it doesn't involve a partner. Tantra may not even include genital contact - it is about emotional and spiritual interaction between two partners (or self-contact). Although genital contact or intercourse can improve energetic and spiritual interaction, it is not necessary.
