It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.

Although it is highly considered to be all about sex known as Tantric sex, it is not. It involves being sensitive to feelings, intimacy and relationship all geared towards awakening. Tantra helps in love regeneration and promotes energy that flows between two people to keep positive feelings towards each other alive.
In Hinduism, Tantra has had a lot of influence in icons, arts and temple buildings. The texts that describe Tantra as a genre of literature are known as pancaratra or samhitas in Vaishnavism, Agamas in Shaivism or tantras in Shaktism. Shaktism is the goddess that is associated with the tantra tradition and is followed by Shaivismthen Vaishnavism follows Shaktism. prakarana, upanisad, tika, kavaca, kosa, paddhati texts and nighantu are some of the other types of Tantric literature.
Also known as the cult of ecstasy, Tantra in Buddhist tradition has influenced religious traditions. The imagery in Southeast Asia, cave temples in India and Tibetian artworks have highly been influenced by tantra as a genre of literature in Buddhism. Extensive Tantra practices and ideas can be experienced in the Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism.
Most of the Hindu Tantras that are available have never been translated and thus only those that speak the language can understand. Kirana Tantra, Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, Parakhya Tantra, Mahanirvana Tantra and Malini-vijayottara are some of the Tantras that have been translated.
As you get to understand what Tantra is, you realize that its main purpose is to unify the opposites. Nothing is deemed as good or bad since every situation gives the practitioner a chance to learn. It teaches that it does not matter what you do to the other person, but it is how you do it. One important lesson in Tantra is that you should embrace everything.
This is a misconception that many have had about tantric practices and Tantra texts although eroticism, emotions and sex are considered desirable. Although it is a practice that has been there and has helped many couples become unified, it is not all about sex. It involves a wide range of topics including spiritual ones. In fact, as the West engages in antinomian elements during Tantra practising, engaging in sexual ritualism is not there in Jain, Buddhist and Hinduism Tantric texts. It has been said to help in building the lost basics of intimacy and that is one reason couples engage in it.
