Sex

Recently, a lama aggressively copulating with his students in Australia used reasoning such as your's as an excuse for his behaviour. This lama is a friend of HHDL.
This simply castes suspicion on HHDL that he is merely giving lip service to the sexual misconduct practised by llamas.

As for the origins of Tantra, it is certainly something practised with one's spouse. It is a Hindu practise for laypeople rather than some superstition about it leading to hightest enlightenment.
Does HHDL practise it? Is HHDL's enlightenment inferior?
Your post is just theoretical non-sense, just as aMatt, a mature man in age, has not overcome his craving, longing for, delight & attachment to sexual pleasure.
Zayl is basically a teenager with his first love. Naturally, he feels the "love" he does. But aMatt is a older man (appearing still caught up in teenage fantasies)
True trantra is like bondage and discipline. It is for the male to submit to the control of the woman (rather than making all kinds of sexual demands). It is not about horny voyeuristic men believing they are Cassanova.
However, the Buddha suggest sex for householders because they did not have the inclination to be free of it. They did not have the inclination to place butt on the floor. As they are not free from lust, if they do not participate in sex, they will burn up inwardly with lust.
So, having sex with your horny partner can be an act of compassion, on that level.
However, that sex is going to lead to highest enlightenment, that is laughable.

I'd like to recommend a talk given by Gil Fronsdal on Audio Dharma called "Investigating Happiness" He talks about sensual desire and I think you might find what he says interesting.

Perhaps I could have put what I said more... modestly. But I felt that talking straightforward was the better route. Tell me, have you ever felt the warmth of a woman? I am not trying to imply anything by this, but it seems you are entirely unable to understand where I am coming from. If that is the case then I will cease posting in this thread, as it would be a complete waste of my time. And I thought I was cynical. It just seems to me that mayhap you could still get your message across without using words that sting so much.
Not only that, but you have insulted my integrity, my girlfriend, my relationship with her, and my intelligence... If you are unable to reply to me in a manner befitting proper speech then i shall avoid talking to you in the future, for the sake of both of us.
Zayl, sorry your feelings were hurt.
But that's not to say he definitely never had sex after enlightenment.
He probably went to the toilet after enlightenment too, but no mention is made of that either.
Just because it's not written, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
But it doesn't mean it did, either.
Tell me again why this matters...?
Have fun!
@ Zayl: don't mind DD. He's just the local troll. Don't feed him and he might go away. This was my point, exactly! This is the mindset of many tantric practitioners and more ordinary purveyors of TB as well. Weren't you a fan or friend of this lama at one point? I recall your posting videos of his teachings.
