There were many kinds of Tantra back in the day. One kind consisted of practising violence and sex together (not so sure about this one), another of participating in an erotic ritual with a female companion, and another of consuming certain liquors to get closer to god.
Also question is, how was sex viewed in ancient times?
For relationships between two people of the same gender, this is not to suggest it was a golden age. According to historians, ancient Athenian men found penetration and sexual dominance a sign of prestige. People used to make fun of a man who behaved as a passive partner or allowed penetration by another grown man.
Then, what was ancient Indian sex like?
The people of India have a history of openly embracing sexuality, much of it intrinsically tied to religion. If surviving artifacts and written works are honest indications, lovemaking in ancient Indian culture was highly sensual, involving open relationships, erotic texts and artwork, and tantalizing games.
