Wikipedia has little influence on what’s practiced in a seminar with the headline tantra. At the same time of course it’s not simply about the stereotype it has.
One element of tantra is for example strong eye contact.
You can go to a PUA seminar and hear a lecture by a guy about holding eye contact. That often leads to guys going out and being uncalibrated.
If you on the other hand learn eye contact in a tantra seminar the resulting behavior is likely much better calibrated.
I speak about the kind of event that’s titled a tantra seminar and take my knowledge of what happens there from people I meet in meatspace who took part in such events.
That’s a fair demand, but I don’t want to go in too much detail on that point. There a lot of inferential distance in talking about New Age practices on LW and Tantra isn’t a subject I studied deeply enough to be confident that I fully understand it’s theory base.

I feel we are using the word “tantra” in entirely different meanings.

Well, what happens there?
