In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramVisṛṣṭi (विसृष्टि) refers to “ejaculation” (the state induced by orgasm), according to the Vijñānabhairava and Mālinīvijayavartikā:—[...] Once one has attained entry here into the plane of full (and perfect) emission, one (truly) practices the teaching which says that by “kissing (lehanā) and sex (manthana) and the like (one attains the supreme state)”. In this way, having laid hold of (Suṣumṇā) the (common) Channel in the Centre (between the partners identified with Śiva and Śakti), the supreme radiant energy (tejas) (of consciousness) vitalizes the entire body (of both). Then (when) (the female consort’s) sexual energy (ṛtu) has been aroused from the start, one should proceed to the state (induced by orgasm), which is ejaculation (visṛṣṭi), the (spiritual) wonder of bliss. That (wonder experienced) alone is incomplete, but (when it is) complete, it is God (himself). Thus the one energy of emission (vaisargikī śakti) itself unfolds (in this way.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
