My main point is that "tantra", in my view, loses it's refined power and beauty when pushed as a product, or connected with them, like that LuvSeat TM.  That was what got me.  Why represent or portray a uniquely non-fashion-industry set of practices and understandings, a sacred tradition, with furniture etc. that only the leisure-rich could afford or only the consumer-benumbed would buy, luring people with very un-erotic (and standard "pornographic") female figurines dressed in leather boots?  Babaji must be giggling forgivingly out there in the Himalayas.

No, it has nothing to do with strictures and prohibitions, not at all.  I know that like you do.  I've studied and practiced tantra earnestly for 15 years, spending 5 years in India, along with training in martial arts and other practices.  But you have to understand (or state, since obviously you already do know) what kind of freedom IS involved.
