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.

Libido
A man with a high libido who finds many chances to have sex is praised by other men (and society) as being something special.
A woman with a high libido who finds many chances to have sex is shunned by other women (and society) as being a slut, a whore, and having some sort of problem.
When one is born into a body, one does not have the choice of what level the libido develops into. One does not have the choice to turn that shit off. One does not have the choice of whether to be attractive or unattractive (although an argument could be made for body modifications). However, all of this combines into a charector judgment by society on the person who craves and/or accomplishes a high amount of sex.
If someone has a large appetite for food, and he/she eats as much as they want, they will have physical side effects. Same goes for adreneline junkies, people who need constant companionship, and, of course, sex. If you get too much of what you crave the most, you will pay consequences through your body. These physical side effects--from weight gain to injury and diseases--are designed to be the buffer of "too much."
Physical side effects of too much sex include (but are not limited to): unwanted pregnancies, STD's, pH imbalances, and routine soreness, overactivity muscle soreness, etc. Not to mention the emotional drama that revolves around sex. Why does society add insult to injury by villifying these people? What makes it so bad to have a high sex drive and get laid a lot?
But you hear people talking about it..."I dumped her because all she wanted to do was fuck everyone." "He's a player, and you're just a toy." The old joke about a slut being the girl who fucks everyone and a bitch being the girl who fucks everyone but *you* is not really that far off the mark. The problem here is that we are born with natural drives that we then are bashed into learning to control to OTHER PEOPLE'S standards.
If I tried to keep my food intake to the same level as what others put on their plate, I'd weigh 400 lbs. But my metabolism is slower, so I can't eat like they do. Sure, I miss out on some chocolate cake from time to time, but that's my body. And if I tried to keep my sex appetite to what society thinks I should have, I'd starve. My body wants and craves and is capable of getting that need met. Why should I try to make myself like them? They'd have much more fun being like ME!
