That division is wrong. Ordinary sex is not ordinary either. In fact nothing ordinary exists. Either everything is ordinary -- god included, nirvana too -- or nothing is ordinary -- even sex, even anger. The universe is made of one stuff, whatsoever you call it.
So the first thing to be understood is -- never call anything ordinary. It carries a condemnation; you have already condemned it. Never condemn anything. If somebody enjoys calling his sex, tantra, who are we to prevent him? Good! If he is enjoying, he's enjoying, and enjoyment is good.
Tantra is something different than sex, but sex is included in it. It is something more -- it is plus. It is not against sex -- it is something plus, it is something more. But if somebody calls his sex, tantra, nobody has to take any offence. It is good! It is your sex. If you want to call it tantra, you call it tantra. You want to call it divine, you call it divine. You want to call it god, you call it god! It is nobody else's business.

So a condemnation arises for anything that doesn't fit with our ideas. Then there are fixed postures to make love. If you are making love in some other postures, you are perverted. Nonsense! If the two persons agree to make love in a novel posture, that is their business -- nobody else's. And if they enjoy it, they enjoy it -- who are you to condemn it?
Individual freedom is absolute, should be absolute. Nobody should interfere. And we can interfere even by our attitude. It is not that you should go and call the police and take the person to the court -- no! Just your idea can be condemnatory... just your approach that this is ordinary sex and someone calls it tantra.
Let them call it tantra. One thing is certain -- that they would like it to be tantra. They would like to lead their sexuality to some higher realm, to some higher altitude. So good! Nothing wrong in it.
The plus point has to be understood. When you are simply enjoying sex for no other growth purposes -- it is
