Too much for here, but most of what I can sense from readings across history and religions of the world is that (most) metaphysical practices were made taboo and/or driven out at some point in time as a part of the physical effort to control and/or conquer people.
There has been a resurgence of these practices in trusted environments that can reveal the beauty and brilliance of the lost (repressed) arts of sacred and ritual sexuality.
For those turned on by these ideas, please remember AlexisSoftTouch's wisdom:
One should know their magick before dwelling in the unknown, because for every cause there is an effect. Just being realistic, in the since that we are all fantasy here, but don't conjure anything you don't want to happen..
Most importantly, always remember the mind is by far the largest erogenous zone
