The standoff between classical Tantrikas and Neotantrikas is real. Classical scholars like Christopher Wallis, author of Tantra Illuminated , are pointed in their critique: "The public perception of Tantra as primarily concerned with sex […] is manifestly untrue," he writes, stating that "next to none of the scriptural sources of (Classical) Tantra teach a sexual ritual or sexual techniques of any kind".
