I know that the above was supposed to happen in
public (being recorded on video), and be metaphorical,
not physical, but transposed to the physical realm, it
would sound much like how some gurus get their
followers to give themselves up to them for sex. (Adi
Da and Trungpa, rightly or wrongly, come to mind).
Perhaps some Tantric scriptures are records of such
disquisitions and their results. "
