Tantric sex is a little different than Tantra.
'tantric sex' is more of an umbrella term for wild stuff to do with your SO.
Tantra is a more general term for the physical ways a person can manipulate thier own body for specific results. For instance, preserving your kundalini through meditation. (Known as tantric celebacy) It is also possible to achieve higher states of awareness through this and other methods. The association with sex comes in when you realize that some of the methods for manipulating the body are best achived through the participation of a partner.
Yoga is an offshoot/predecessor of tantra, btw.
...and for anyone that is looking for some variety, check out "Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns" by Miller and Devon. (Explores the spectrum of BDSM relationships.)
