Kundalini Yoga, which is part of Tantrism doesn't necessarily involve sex.
The union the ancient texts speak of is by some schools understood as being
the internal union of
shakti/shiva, (shakti= female principle, shiva=principle) that takes place
within the disciple and by some as sexual union between man/woman. Tantrism
seems to be a bit misunderstood in the west, as it tends to be generally
associated with sex and what you term
sexual depravity. There is nothing wrong with sex in my opinion, but I
just wanted to point out to you that Tantra isn't all about orgies and
shagging around. There are many schools of Tantrism and not all of them
involve sex.

What is the reasoning behind this? The physical aspects of Kundalini, like
the energy surges going up and down along the spine are just part of the
manifestations of K, which go far beyond physical experiences.
