She claimed to have been instructed by Tibetan Buddhists. She claimed
to have visited Tibet. If this is true, then she absolutely had to know
about
the sexual element in Tibetan Tantra, yet she never said a word about it.
If she was ashamed or embarrassed about it, then she couldn't have
understood it. I suspect that she understood it very well. So, this leaves
me
to conclude that her silence was deliberate.

>The more as Buddhistic Tantrica has nothing to do with sex. So you confuse

I am absolutely amazed at your ignornace of Tibetan Tantra, Frank. Even
HH the Dali Lama acknowledges the advantages of the karmamudra (action
seal). Ever hear of yab-yum?  Ever see a picture of a Buddhist god embracing
a consort (frontal sex with god in lotus position and consort in lap).
These
things are both symbolic and literal. You need to get out more.
