Exposure in Tantra means to open up your energies to what is in your environment, no matter what that is. Exposure via all 7 chakras.

Think about what it feels like to be naked. In front of someone. Someone you don't know well, maybe lots of someones. Think about what it would be like to allow them to touch you, poke you, tickle you. Think about the fear of scrutiny, the fear of judgment, the fear of not measuring up to some standard. Think about the fear of offending someone, or turning someone on, inadvertently. There's a certainty that someone will learn something about you that you didn't want made known...

This is Exposure. This is what it feels like to walk in with your shields down, walk in with your chakras functioning, to be subjected to every bit of energy in your environment, including the icky stuff. This is Exposure, and it is necessary. 100% Exposure is 100% necessary to connect with a partner 100%. So if you can't do it on demand, you can't really claim to be able to do it.

Otherwise...go home and play with the sex magickians, but you won't be doin' Tantra.
